Hi I made my firs privete forum at university, i made it with mybb but one of my friends told me that if I am green at it (I am) than I should start with phpbb becuse it is easier? is that true? Can u help me to find any good insruction? maby movie showing how to use more advanced options?

Wrong! That's opinionated! At first I thought phpBB was sooo great, but it's a pain to work with. The permissions are by far the most annoying. :(
Installing plugins, a lot harder. (MyBB - upload files, activate in acp.)

oh Dalton THX allot, anyway can someone tell my how to do somthing like that:

1st. My forum is privet forum so I won't ppl registre and I made an acceptation after that they can look into my forum
2ed Now I have my own server but my profesor is talking to admins of university servers, if I change server I just have to put all base in there or somthing else?

I am realy sorry for my english and stupid question's but he asked my to make this forum, it wasn't my idea;/

1: You don't want people to be able to register, but be able to view it? Correct?
2: You asking how to change servers? That's pretty easy with MyBB.

1. You can set it so that all registrations require admin activation, and make it so they can't see anything until you activate them, if this is what you need.
2. If you want to change server, make a database backup, make a .zip archive of all your files, upload the files to the new host, make a new database, uploads your backup to it, and then edit ./inc/config.php to add in the new database details. Everything should be fine then.

MattR thx allot this is what I asked for, now I am going to read Dalton's link's, propably long night before me, couse in my coutry we have night right now

Well MyBB is powerful over PHPBB in many ways!

Like plugin & addons are easy to install and use!

Templates are easy to edit!

While PHPBB has more support over internet. More addons. More big community!

almost all night reading and talking on AIM about mybb,
now I am looking for plugin with "rangs" don't know this in english mean stars under nickname, hope u understand what I mean

thats not a plugin it comes with mybb... go to user groups in the admincp and there you can set the number of starts for users in that group...

mybb all the way. Phpbb hit v3 and didn't do anything right. phpbb 2 was easy and simple, but it's way outdated. I am working on fixing that. Or will be when all my other projects are finished.

But mybb is the best. It's simple, clean (internally and externally), and powerful. Phpbb 3 is decently powerful, unclean (both internally and externally though not as bad as some), and very difficult.
