Simple Machines Forum (SMF) is a great, free, and open source forum system that uses PHP/MySQL. I personally have found it to work the best for me as it includes lots of features out of the box and an easy theme system. http://simplemachines.org/ Try out the RC of 1.1 for some even nicer new features like AJAX editing and enhanced search functions. -Mark P.S. I own a license of vBulletin. In my opinion it's not worth it for the money. Now if only I had known about SMF before buying vBulletin... := D --=20 GnuPG Public Key: http://www.mkproductions.org/mk_pubkey.asc Internet Radio: Party107 (Trance/Electronic) - http://www.party107.com Rock 101.9 The Edge (Rock) - http://www.rock1019.net IRC: MIXXnet IRC Network - irc.mixxnet.net (Nick: MIXX941) --------------enig4992FD0D074868A88BCA698F Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFD17M3lH2ybcmj7I8RAjHXAKCSgDeD4EpskpsRTKeCBOkFtJ7alQCeKZiU leUd33uCsUgF8CO29QTJqZ0= =Z8NY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig4992FD0D074868A88BCA698F--
