I'd say phpBB. There are hundreds of mods, hundreds of skins, it's got a fair amount of features. Whilst they're not updating it with any more features at the moment, there is development with phpBB 3, which could rival Invision with its features.

Others might say myBB or punBB so you can have a look at them as well and see which one you like best. :)

In the last 2 months they've released 3 updates with fixes for security exploits(more than one for each update).

First he said it must be free. And as far as security holes, I've been using phpbb for a while now and as long as the fixes are applied you shouldn't have any problems. Add the release of fixes just shows they doing some work on it. Look how many vulnerabilities come out for Windows and how long they take to fix. There are also security mods that will help. As far as mods and stuff go, we've been using Plus 1.52 for phpbb2. It has a ton of mods included, but there aren't near as many themese for it because of all the mods. I have not used the others but will say the phpbb is easy to set up and I haven't had any problems with security myself.

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      By Legend20 · Posted

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Windows 11 gets better widgets, new Screen Tint feature, and more in the latest build

      Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”

    • Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps

      Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • Using Windows 10 past its end of support date, is it really that bad?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
