JenJen Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Okay, I have a Charmed fan-site and what I really want to take it over the top is a decent forum (where I can easily add skins) I've tried some different ones (I want a forum software that I can INSTALL to my server), but so far, none have seen to like me.I wish I could find a free download of Invisionboard or the forum software these boards use....if anyone can help me in anyway, I'd be totally grateful.I have been searching and trying for almost a week now, so it's not like I didn't do some research of my own xoxo,Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 the forum software these boards use...<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Well, that board has at the bottom of its page clearly mentioned - UBB.Threads.So if you need a free board, then forget both Invision as well as UBB - both are pay, and cost a whole lot, which is worth paying only when there is already a massive community visiting the board.If you are interested in just getting the board software anyway, then warez downloads is the oyster..... But then, its not going to be long before you are caught and asked to pay-up, since this is online and anyone can see your board.So what's the other option then?1. phpBB (this one sucks, but has a huge modding/skinning community)2. MyBB (not yet mature, but it has a good feature set, and user-base growing greatly)3. SMF (this one's perfect - is good and has a large community for skinning/modding too. FYI, this one's the successor of YaBB-SE)We would be pleased to hear again from you. If you have any more queries, do not hesitate to post them! Hmm.... so what have you chosen?

JenJen Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 My domain's CPANEL has SMF. I just installed it, hoping this time I don't get totally confused (again).....it's installed, but I got confused already. not with the forums themselves, but in the idea of skinning. I have five skin images....they're like a banner, I guess you could say *perfect for like tables in a way* 750x325.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 SMF is wonderfully easy to install new skins or mods.... Maybe just some reading over the initial readme is required.....Also, please remove or resize the image in your signature - its just too big since forum rules allow only 300x300.

goofee691 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Actually invision is no longer free from version 2.0 and up. I spoke with them today and anyone caught using it will receive a ceased and desist order.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>does this mean that my unencoded trial of IPB 2.0.0 is illiegal or something.

liquidplasmaflow Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Can't be. The released that for free... I don't think they can C&D it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Just out of curiosity (XPerties can probably answer this the best), what kind of bandwidth does MSFN see per month?I'm not expecting to set anything up to match it any time soon. I'm just wondering what kinds of numbers to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xper Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 What XPerties has with MSFN bandwidth? About 1.300 GB per month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I thought that XPerties did the hosting for MSFN... I could very easily be mistaken however. 1.3GB... that's not that much at all! I suppose that comes from the fact that most community applications are hosted elsewhere and the attachments are limited in size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 1.3GB... <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Mis-understanding!That figure was not metric numerals. That dot would be a comma, in actuality.Therefore..... 1,300 GB. = 1.3 TB.Thats much, thats plenty, thats massive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Ah... that makes a bit more sense. Thanks prathapml.Those confusing commas and dots... different conventions for different parts of the world (although I should have figured that with xper being from Denmark). Tack så mycket, xper!
