Hello
Why not phpBB??
The question was whether there's also some other solution worth considering. (This one is most likely to be used otherwise.) Mojca

I vote for http://www.simplemachines.org/ which is a lot easier to administrate and also has lots of features. An integrated package and upgrade manager makes security updates pretty easy (a few clicks instead of uploading/downloading any update scripts yourself). I use both myself - phpbb and smf - and I have a lot less trouble with the smf install than with phpbb. Best Regards, Andreas.

Same experience here, so my vote would go to smf as well (although I am rather unlikely to use the forum except when someone explicitly points to a thread/question). Best wishes, Taco

Hi all, before everyone votes for a different software, what about a forum that is hosted by another company but reached from a contextgarden subdomain? There should be services on the net that support that?!? And I would (probably) only use software that can be installed with ubuntu package manager from the distribution that is running on contextgarden to reduce maintenance. Patrick
