Alright, I'm trying to install phpBB on a PostgreSQL (which is faster than MySQL since
Astahost's MySQL is already taxed as it is, and I want to use PostgreSQL so in case MySQL
crashes again, my phpBB would still be up). However, the only problem is that it complains that it
requires a UTF8 database and not an US ASCII/SQL ASCII, so is there a way that I can change it to
UTF8? Right now I don't have any privilege to do so, cPanel locked it. xboxrulz...

For me the instructions in the phpbb docs is far too complicated. And their is a much more easier
way. Please note that the below process has only been tried on this hosting website, the process
below may not be applicable for other hosts. 1) Download phpbb 2.0.14 into a folder on your
computer (e.g. My Documents\Forums) 2) Extract all the files to that folder. 3) Rename the extracted
'phpbb2' folder to 'Forums' (change it to what you want). 4) Login into your ftp
account (ftp://yoursite.astahost.com) 5) Copy the 'Forums' folder (or your named f...

phpBB version 2 has been completely re-written since the first version. Version 2 focuses on a
professional-quality modular design, high security, multiple-language interface, support for a
multitude of databases servers and complete layout customisation, all with a low execution overhead.
phpBB is based on PHP, the fastest growing server-side scripting language on the web, which results
in one of the fastest, feature-rich bulletin board systems available anywhere. In addition, phpBB
is open-source software so it has no fees, no subscriptions, and no restrictions on mo...

I've been searching for a fully integrated version of PHP-Nuke with PhpBB 3.*. There is a
bridge on the PHP Nuke site, but I generally stray from bridges because I've had mostly
mediocre/bad or mixed results with bridges, alot of login issues across platforms and little
integration. So I was wondering, does anyone know of a full/real integration between the two?...

Hey guys and gals, I installed phpbb all by myself (not from the AstaHost
Cpanel) on onther webhost. I installed it there because AstaHost has a pretty old version, (ok, the
previous version). No I need help in installing a shoutbox on it, I am really pissed off with those
shoutbox which you will have to manually install. I have been tring nearly 5 different shoutbox for
phpbb and all keep saying some error, I had installed one of the shoutbox completely but in the end,
when I tried shouting into it, it gave an error, now I am asking if anyone he...

Hi, I've ended up in a dumb stupor having spent a good deal of time - trying to spot the
config option from where I can change the page header banner where it says: =============
yourdomain.com A _little_ text to describe your forum ============== in the big bold black... And
another place right below the phpBB logo, which says: yourdomain.com Forum Index .... How do I
change these ? Thanks...

I've gone to some IPB forums were it seems they allowed file attachment options, even music and
videos files. Like this one! /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0"
alt="biggrin.gif" /> Does phpBB or SMF have this option? Because so far, I've only been able to
upload pictures in the avatar gallery....

I have been running a site for couple of months that is powered by Drupal. And I like the way
Drupal handles everything. It is kind of lean and mean, when compared to the other CMS that I
checked out at OpenSourceCMS.com. But it has one down side that I must accept. It does not have a
decent forum. I am sure, if I say this over at Drupal.org, I would be staked and asked what feature
does Drupal forum not have. If I give few of the features out of the whole list, I would be given a
module each to substitute for each feature. And in a way, what they say is true. A ...

I used Invision Power Board for the first time today. Its pretty complex and has more options than a
sausage on sticks! Which do you guys prefer and why? I use PHPBB on one of my sites. its fast,
free and does everything I need... or does it? ---------------------------------------------- The
boards are written in PHP - so ideally this post should be in the Scripting forum. Am moving it
there.... m^e...

I have found (and used, to much delight) a tool to convert my phpBB database to an SMF database. The
results were amazing--I could literally give my users a new URL to use and the forum banter would
not skip a beat. From what little I've seen of SMF, I really like it. The feature set is much
more complete, and the default theme is XHTML and CSS valid to boot. And the board is fast-- very
fast. I see little reason to switch back to phpBB. However, my users are very familiar with phpBB.
The entire lifespan of my forums were conducted on phpBB. A migration would like...

Hello, i'm a newbie in using phpBB and I still lack knowledge in mySQL database. How do I
transfer the datas(users,configs, all of them) contained in my current forum to another one in
phpBB? I hope someone can help, a short but detailed tutorial would be good. Example is, if I want
to move to a new host and I want to transfer all the accounts on my old forum to the new one. Thanks
in advance, hope anyone here knows how to....

According to one of the lead developers of Quicksilver Forums, he ran a test and found that QSF is
faster than phpBB: QUOTE(Geoff) A test conducted on http://qsforums.sourceforge.net with
1000 hits each on a sample page for phpBB and Quicksilver Forums. The generation time for
Quicksilver Forums: 1629 milliseconds. For phpBB: 1927 milliseconds. See the raw data here. QSF is
feature packed, easy to modify and 15% faster than phpBB. Which forum software would you choose? The
QSF 1.1.6 release is just days away and includes speed improvements! Source: Quicks...

can anyone tell me how do i add a feature to add sub-forums to phpbb forums? i also want cash mod
to work on it.. i tried categories hierarchy but it clashed with cash mod... doesnt work... can u
ppl suggest something for this?...

I sure have learned my lesson of using phpBB on a site of mine that gets many hits. Apparently, the
attacker used a SQL injection (my password is 7 characters and is VERY hard to crack) to gain admin
access and deleted everything then left his mark. I don't even know WHY phpBB is allowed to
exist and WHY it's so popular... I'm NEVER going to use it again! Keep away from it! F...

Hey guys, Well I just started up a new site and was trying to figure out what forum software to use.
I did not really want to spend money on an IPB or VB license in the beginning of my community, so I
decided to look at my free options. Anyways, my first visit was or Mercury Board and then SMF and
finally PHPBB. Anyways, while i was looking at the 2.0 series to see how well i could mod it and
customize it i looked into the beta. So i downloaded the beta and uploaded and installed it at
