I have no idea about computers and stuff, I think the free kind of software is best though.

: At last! I've decided to upgrade the board... and soon. Thanks to everyone for bearing with me all this time, and for nudging me to do the upgrade.

: Now the question is: which discussion board software should we use?

: Here're the requirements as I see them. I would welcome your ideas on other desired features as well.

: I think the new board should:

: 1. support a public forum (no login required).
: 2. also support a members only forum (login required).
: 3. support file uploads (images and movies, at least for logged in users).
: 4. support polls (initiated by me or logged in users).
: 5. be as easy as possible to moderate and maintain (good admin tools and/or support).

: I've done some basic research and compiled a short list of contenders. Does anyone have any experience with these boards? Do you have opinions or advice to share before I choose one?

: In my order of preference right now, the contenders are:

: phpBB (free)
: http://www.phpbb.com/index.php

: Invision Power Board (free)
: http://www.invisionboard.com/

: vBulletin ($160)
: http://www.vbulletin.com/

:
: Thanks in advance for any input you have to offer. I'll probably decide on something pretty soon...

: Thanks,
: Scott
