Andrew™ Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 After IPS4 = Nothing.100% voting for IPS, no words about the features, styling, speed, design, and all those things inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imissme2 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 vB 5 is pretty nice, its even got a DIY option, such as making new page, sidebar, navbar, header etc....But...It doesnt have enough good skins/themesRight now using ipb 4.0 cuz i renewed it....what sucks about ipb is that u can freaking make pages without ip.content or a plugin...which is a total rip off.

Stake™ Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 In my opinion Invision Power Board is the best and most easy to use forum software which is available at the moment. I have tried vBulletin and xenForo, but I am sorry (no offence), I hate them. It might be because I am using IP.Board for about 4 years now, I know most of the functions.VB and xF doesn't look really easy to use.For me, IP.Board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locke Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 IPB obviously. NodeBB does look interesting. Thank to this thread, I found another interesting forum software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervodx Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 NodeBB is extremely aesthetically pleasing, but I have not had the opportunity to work with the backend. It seems promising considering they haven't even released version 1.0 (they're still in beta), it seems quite amazing. I am confused about why they have pricing on their website if you can download it for free. The software seems slightly over simiplistic, looks like it may be lacking a few features. It reminds me a lot of GitHub with Font Awesome and a cleaner design. Very modern (as advertised).I was a major XenForo fan for a long time and knew a lot about it and even coded a few add-ons. Then I found WebFlake and fell in love with IPB. And the release of IPS 4.x further solidified my love of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, use a nulled or retail version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pricing on their website are for forums hosted by them on their servers. Similar to how IPS has the 'community in the cloud' offer.

DragonVoid Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I prefer IPB but can work with just about any forum software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzo Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I've worked with only two forum softwares - IPB and Xenforo. I enjoy both, however, IPB is simply creates smoother and cleaner than Xenforo does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otecko Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) vBulletin used to be a really great, competitive platform. You can see many users use old versions to-date, but as they switched owners, it's been a steady downward trend for vB. The newest version lacks everything, plugins and so forth, not to mention the bad admin backend interface; you're looking for something for 5 mins.
