Hi Alessandro, I have installed phpBB on my homepage (currently offline) and I think it's the best free forum software. On the other hand I found it working too slow for me even on my very simple site and I think that customizing its looks takes too much time (and I don't really like how its default skin looks like). That is why I suggested a commercial solution that comes with nice presets.
