[Timothy Boyden]

I used Mercury Board http://www.mercuryboard.com/ for my site. I tried
phpBB2 but had a lot of issues trying to theme it to match my website.
Every time I'd go to edit a theme, even so much as to simply change a
logo, the whole structure of the board would break down and I'd have to
re-install phpBB2. It's possible I just don't understand the whole .tpl
system but I didn't have the same issues with Mercury Board.
 
My site is at: www.boyden.us, the board is at: www.boyden.us/discuss 
 
It's not a commercial site but there's no reason why you couldn't use
Mercury Board for a commercial site.

Subject: [nycphp-talk] Open source forum suggestion


I want to enter the 21st century and add a forum to my site.

My ISP offers phpBB2 and Discuss, a CGI-based forums. Or I can add my
own.

Does anyone have suggestions regarding a great forum package for a
business, not consumer, web site? What about vBulletin, although it
looks like a commercial product. Is phpBB2 the way to go? I though it
was known to have security issues. Suggestions?
