wjunction and my internet marketing forum http://www.webmastersun.com is using vbulletin. Try to have a look

Also I have ever not used IPB so I couldn't give you any suggestions on that

 

[AlbCoder]

did you see https://xenforo.com/ ?

wjunction is my life :snog:

i also wonder which is best

If you decide to use vBulletin at this stage, considering the alternatives available, you're gonna have a bad time and should be shot.
Unless you need any of the apps offered by IP.B (the official ones anyway), then Xenforo is where you need to be.

in frees i am using mybb

 

[pstefanov]

For paid - vBulletin
Free - SMF or phpBB3. My forum int he signature is with SMF - easy use and settings, user-friendly.

 

[zeuthunder]

Vbuletin is best if you can pay

 

[phpfreelancer]

Vbuletin is my recommendation.

 

[manchester121]

IPB is the best,,,,

 

[Mattlav]

My opinion

I found in my experience IPB to be the best, good support and loads of backing

I also found after a seller tried to rip me off for a second hand license that there licensing team and system was very very good as well

 

[manchester24]

I think VB is best.

Mybb is the best just came out with version 1.8 and when ever a new security hole is found a new version comes out 10 days to 2 weeks later. All other forums software is dying

Vbulletin is dying a lot of the coders jump to Xenforo

IPB decent but not updated often enough

Xenforo updated are slow as dirt and not really ready for a forum with a few million post

Phpbb3 suck pretty much dead not used much

SMF sucks pretty much dead not used much

Out of the two - IPB. It has a much more modern and refreshing feel over the dated and sad looking vBulletin, in my opinion. I also prefer the administration side of things in IPB.

If I had to choose any forum software, though - it would be MyBB. Version 1.8 was recently released. It has some neat little features as standard.

 

[om2580]

you can go with vbulletin it is best

 

[hoston]

I'd have to suggest IPB, the theme itself is very nice and it's very easy to use. I've used vB & IPB before along with MyBB & SMF.

Above all I'd suggest IPB then MyBB then vB and then SMF. But it's just a matter of personal opinion.

 

[Raven Faust]

IPB is more stable as of late. But i personally like VB

 

[DeMoN100]

ipb I use to love but now it has honestly gone to shit.

The best 2 forum types out there for me are personally
(free)MyBB
(paid)Vbulletin

If you want to see what MyBB is like you can take a look at my forum
When it comes to managing plugins & extensions IPB is the worst at it with configuring hooks & settings. I find MyBB & Vbulletin way easier to handle when it comes to plugins & adding extension features.
