zackiv31 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I wanted peoples suggestions for the best forum software for a website that will be used primarily for help/discussion of software (code). I know all the major sites support the syntax, but I'm looking for something that might also do automatic syntax highlighting and whatnot... Do sites just bundle third party software with forum software to achieve this? Off the top of my head, best (free) forum software is phpBB... but looking for others I might not be familiar with!

0 svnO.o Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I prefer SMF (Simple Machines) for free forum software if you want a loaded package. PunBB if you want a bare-bones forums that you can heavily customize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 zackiv31 Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 Thanks for the quick suggestions... I want something that does this kind of syntax highlighting (look at the code blocks) http://www.youngcoders.com/php-scripting/3...ut-queries.html (and I know that's vBulletin, which is Paid software) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
