Hmm, not sure I would agree with that. PHPbb can't handle saved searches, and doesn't support RSS if I remember correctly.

I will say that phpBB is much more powerful -- Vanilla couldn't handle some of the advanced stuff that high end forums do, but porting over a style... I don't know if that would be easy. You might find it faster to just create the CSS to mimic the style of his look/feel.

Yeah, Vanilla seriously cooks with gas. You can have RSS out the wazoo,
clean
xhtml code, and each user can have their own stylesheet!
Brett was mentioning he was in the process of building a template for
phpbb. I
wonder if it could be ported over easily?

Hi Everyone, Well give the people what they want I always say!
I've installed a simple forum on a domain I run to test it out with the community. If we all like it and Thomas is happy, we can look into
pointing a
subdomain towards it. Or, we can migrate it over to SF. Either way is
cool
with me. My server has loads of bandwidth so I'm happy to host it for
the
time being.
The system isn't based on PHPBB. I thought it fitting that since
Roundcube
was
the first major Open Source webmail system born in the Web 2.0
generation,
that the forum should be to. Its called Vanilla, and it has a lot of
great
features as well as a great community behind it (like ours).
The forum is here: http://roundforums.verada.net If you want more information on Vanilla, go here:
If anyone wants to volunteer to moderate a category, feel free to email
me.
Any comments on the forum itself, please reply to all.
regards,
Geoffrey

..and if you don't want the burden, I'm happy to pop it under my hosting too, and promote as needed. I can probably get some web developers who teach with me on codingforums.com to come over and try
to
answer some CSS/XHTML/HTML/Design/PHP/MySQL questions, or cross post
to
them, or get CSS Beauty in the mix. Either way, a forum would be
useful.
