Invision powerboard looks nicer than phpBB, but it builds much larger databases. Also it has a funny way to quote (unpleasant to use). I think overall phpBB is better. I agree with philtheman btw

I think the best forum software is vBulletin. Here's a sample:
http://www.howardforums.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=37
Its fast, lots of useful features and you can attach files to your posts. What do you think of vBulletin?
But whether to upgrade or not, I don't really mind either way. But if we DON'T upgrade, dont complain that newbies don't use the search to find answers to common questions. The current search function is...frustrating!

So...
All these techy people that almost live in this forum don't want to change?
Aren't these people the same that exchange phone every 3 month almost? What's wrong with those phones? They still work don't they?
Like somene said earlier "If it's not broke, don't fix it"...
C'mon, if the forum changes, surely it'll be better. No one develops something worse than the previous version.
Probably you won't notice many improvements, but maybe for the mods it'll be easier to mod, and for the admins (hi laffen) it'll be easier to admin.
Why not creating a "paralell" forum (a replica from this one) so people can say: "This is sh*t! Go back to previous version." or "This is great! Forget the old format".
There could be polls and other stuff like that.
What do you think about it laffen?

I think the howardforums software is crappy cuz you cant see the new post and it have a bad layout. There is just to much. When you try to log in and is whrithing the wrong pasword or something the software wont tell you that you have been whriting wrong it just came with a empty screen.
Esato layout is the best, have good looking and functionality. The only thing that bothers me is the search.

An 'upgrade' to vBulletin will result in a loss of all data, so we'll have to stick with phpBB (which is the best imo). The forum style can remain the same, it's just the forum 'software' that should be updated.

Normally it's just running a database update script and replacing some files, but I think laffen modified the files alot... Hard to tell
