xtrabit racing Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I need a forum for my joomla CMS. Now running CCBoard extension for joomla, but its not too powerful to control. I do not need any powerful module support, just good managing system and looks best with default layout. (of course after some CSS and image tweaks) What do you prefer? phpBB or SMF is enough, or i must use one of paid ones. My website will be very busy some time later... Please share your experiences and suggesitons (which bridge to use, which modules, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwind Hawk Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I'm not familiar with Joomla but my favorite has always been IPB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Paliath Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 IPB is the best forum software out there; no matter what CMS get IPB and use IP.Converge. :) Chasethebase 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmeunit Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I put SMF, but you might check out http://www.kunena.com/ just for the fact you don't have to worry about bridges, etc. If you don't need to sync users, any forum will work and you can put in an iFrame.

Chasethebase Reporter Posted March 19, 2010 Reporter Share Posted March 19, 2010 IPB is the best you can get, with a few tweaks and use of IP Converge you've got it. The premium is well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmeunit Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 You might check out JFusion also. I haven't use that IP Converge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmeunit Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 You're right about it not working with IPB, but it does work with the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
