hey all, i'm new at web design and construction, and will be creating a website (that will be politically oriented) soon (within one day from now). I'd like to know, should I choose phpBB or Invision for the forum software, and why? I've reviewed teh features lists of both of them, and I still can't make up my mind...so I figured I'd ask the people with the most and best expereince
My main concerns are:
1. I want to be able to warn/banperma-ban users by username and IP
2. I want to be able to log posts/posters by IP
3. I want to be able to differentiate in ranks by post count (like 0 posts = nub, 100 posts = cheeze, etc. etc.)
4. I want to have all the moderation controls necessary to ensure no one could spam the board or just abuse it.
5. I want to be able to have other people be mods and admins, and limit their powers.
from what I've seen, it seems as though both phpBB and Invision can do what I want, so I guess the question is "Which is better for my needs?"
Thanks in advance!
