phpBB used to be great :(
This system used to be great in the past but now it's easily attacked by spambots making it unusable. I found lots of useful add-on, unfortunately aren't compatible for version 3. I couldn't find any nice theme, and I browsed for hours. It used to be great but I'm moving to some other BB system.
Not updater friendly
What a crock! Uploading the whole phpbb packeage with every update!? Screw that SMF is a one click deal in the admin panel. my members will just have to expand their browsing capabilities and get used to it. PHPBB sucks!
A step ahead
I've been testing phpBB and SMF and finally, after 3.0 release I convinced myself to use phpBB (again) as my forum software. Nice design and layout. With a good administration options, also.
Clean and easy installation
No problem with installation. Very nice and easy configuration and can change template in 2 minutes. Lots of templates and avatars are available for free. Two thumbs up.
Solid.
I don't ask for bells and whistles, just something intuitive and easy to use. And this delivers.
