I had a forum that I made a long time ago, but now the CPanel is different and I am having some trouble working it. How do I get a phpBB forum now?<!--content-->
There was so much trouble with phpBB forum being hacked<br />that it was removed from cpanel.<br />You will need to download it from the phpBB web site and install it yourself.<br /><br />Or you can use cpanels fantastico to install SMF,<br /> a more secure forum and it is easy to upgrade.<!--content-->
Well ok, I am not attached to phpBB or anything. SMF sounds fine, does it have themes and stuff?<!--content-->
Yes it is customizable. Not by default, but you can check out <a href="http://www.simplemachines.org/" target="_blank">http://www.simplemachines.org/</a> for themes, addons and much more.<!--content-->
SMF forum is a lovely open-source forum that has just been a pleasure to work on. Never tried phpBB so I couldn't tell you how it compares.<!--content-->
I haven't used it yet, but this looks pretty slick:<br /><br />h*tp://getvanilla.com/tour/posting/<br /><br />Vanilla Forum<!--content-->
