Hmmm, I do not think, that using phpBB is the best decision Of course it's free, but it has had many security issues in the past. It's also lacking some interesting features (build in Wysiwyg-Editor, flat- and threaded view, RSS-Feed...) which are build in the core of Invisionboard. Moreover Invisionboard has some interesting addons (linksystem, downloads, knowledgebase, blog-system...) which you can plugin with no core-hacking. Some of the addons are also available für the phpBB but you often have to hack the core, so you can't upgrade so smoothly. And a easy and fast upgrade is very important. So I strongly recommend the Invisionboard. It's much more professional and better on the long run, even if it cost some bucks. Just a few thoughts of an admin-colleague ;-) Jürgen Admin CSS Online
