phpBB

Overview

php Bulletin Board (phpBB) is one of the most popular community forums available, trusted by millions ranging from small, personal communities to heavily-trafficked corporate sites. phpBB allows site visitors post and comment (with attachments like images, documents, video streams and archives) on different discussion topics, usually related to a site's content. phpBB is recommended for beginners to expert Web users.

 

Features

With php Bulletin Board, the forum administrator can:

  • Control registration settings for participants (limit number of attempts at signing up, min/max username and password length, etc.).
  • Customize spam protection settings by requiring users to register, complete CAPTCHA and more. (Highly recommended! Spammers tend to heavily target phpBB forums.)
  • Provide search capabilities (from within multiple forums and categories to topic titles, etc.).
  • Control forum layout and access to various functions through an Admin Control Panel.
  • Give forum Moderators the ability to manage the moderation queue and an exclusive view into forum, topic and post details through the Moderator Control Panel.
  • Initiate polls to allow participants to vote on topics you propose.
  • Allow participants to create specific profiles and usergroups, and follow particular threads via subscription e-mail notifications.
  • Enable a private-messaging system for participants to communicate directly with one another.
  • And much more! Visit phpBB.com to check out additional features and a large selection of modifications.

 

This application can be found and installed from your cPanel logged in area -> Fantastico.
