If Volvox and I made a general forum...

I like the idea of a new forum. But why has it to be InvisionFree? phpBB is much better!

IPB is ok, I don't mind.

Newray · Post by **Newray** » Sun Oct 30, 2005 5:20 pm

Yes, IPB is ok, but IF lacks in much ways..

How many posts does this Zelda bord have? And how many posts does the top poster have?
For example, I couldn't have linked PC's forum to its portal if I had used InvisionFree...

I can't remember... Sorry.

It has over 15,000 members (search websites included) and over 121,450 posts.

It has to be invisionfree because of various reasons:

IF is its own host (a LOT less hastle)
IF is easy to add/change/delete forum areas (easy creation)
IF is fast (phpbb is slow)
IF's administrator board is extremely easy in instructions (phpbb can be confusing)
IF can allow you to pre-register people (I've never heard of a phpbb board that can do that)
IF is just as mod-able as phpbb
IF can have a word-filter
IF is overall quick and easy to use and it's just as customizable.

I may not customize any more than the skin because I don't know computer lingo enough to mod either type of board.

I can easily pre-register people with phpBB, there's a mod for this and anyways I just have to use phpMyAdmin

And it's not that slow... phpBB also has a word-filter (I've never seen such an idiotic function, by the way)... And you say you can mod IF? As you want?

Do it, I remember RaymanQuest. It was successful.. Until like 1 year later then it got unactive.. But no doubt.. This time you will make it for even longer.

Ray2master · Post by **Ray2master** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 8:39 pm

Yes, Hunchman. If you know enough computer lingo, HTML, etc., you can do what you want - like get a battle system for IF.

IF (to me) is over-all easier to work with. I've never been able to get a phpbb board because of the problems of getting it hosted, started, etc.... but with IF you register the board and start working! Simple as that!

Yeah, RQ was great, but keep in mind that I was only starting out as an admin. I'm experienced now.

I didn't know you could mod InvisionFree, it's a good solution then

I'd like to know how you edit files... Can you access them by FTP?

Well, from what I have seen, Invisionpower boards on IF can be modded in the CSS and the board layout thingy, th31 has done it before, I don't know about the new IPB though.

but I like phpBB better, its easier then IBP is tons of ways.

Post by **Reese Riverson** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 1:35 am

Sorry, some reason I was logged off.

And addetion to that, to answer you question Hunchman, InvisionFree.com does not allow any FTP access.

and you couldn't even edit the files to the IPB V 1.3 final..

Name those "tons of ways".

Th31 did it, so why can't anyone else?

We just like PhpBB forums better, easier to code in my opinion.

neo · Post by **neo** » Fri Nov 04, 2005 2:34 pm

All you need to know is Html, right?

That kind of answer does NOTHING to persuade me.

HTML is harder than it looks.

neo · Post by **neo** » Mon Nov 07, 2005 2:38 pm

I tried learning CSS, and its tricky....

<html>
<title>
</title>
<head>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
</html>

=============

Thats all I know for now....

phpBB uses "PHP" coding.

INVISION POWER BOARDS uses php too, all FORUMS and SITES coded with PHP or HTML or PHP & HTML uses CSS. But Invision power board also gives the ability to use html, with java scripts and ect.

and its not hard to mod phpBB forums... you just need a good web cde editing program (I use BIO constructer) and there is a document that tells your exactly what to edit, replace or remove, you find the line, you simpaly copy and past the new code over the line. SIMPLE!

The only problem is that you can do far less things with IPB than with phpBB...

Ray2master · Post by **Ray2master** » Sat Nov 12, 2005 6:20 pm

Simple for those who know. PHPBB is also slow. The more mods you have, the slower it is.

I lost the url to my forum-in-the-making, so now I gotta do it over again...
