I just bought the Pro script. I'm creating a brand new forum for paid members only. I bought the PHPBB plugin, but now, am wondering if there is a better, easier software to use. Alex said I should put in the installation ticket tomorrow, so I've been bugging him asking this question. But I realized I should just post in here. I see his forum is VBulletin. Also have read Simple Machines works well. I know that I won't make money on the board for awhile, but from the looks of things, it seems that migrating is a headache, so I'd rather get the right one now, so I'm willing to pay for VBulletin if that will save me headaches in the long run. I just want something easy, easy, easy for me to manage and configure and that works well with AMember! I've installed both Simple and PHPBB. They both seem difficult for me. Even figuring out how to remove the logo at the top and replace it. I'm technical, but just have been working so hard to figure everything out, between carts and forums, etc. (It's been two weeks of hell before I finally just got 1ShoppingCart for my WP site and decided to get AMember). I'm tired of learning curves! So, I'd like feedback today so I can let Alex know what I need tomorrow. For now, the whole forum will be member only. Also, will AMember integrate with my WordPress as well to create just one login for free viewing/posting on my blog and paid subscription on the forum? Thanks! Susan
PHPBB3 works fine as a forum, and will integrate with amember. Any forum will be a little of a learning curve until you get comfortable adding forums, groups and setting permissions. http://amember-phpbb.com/ is a demo integration. David
