Proboards have annoying ads as your aware, Boardnation have too many errors, since you have your own site install a new forum on it without these crappy ads, phpbb is an easy one to handle, and Yabb has cool features but is less stable. Plz dont blast me its just an idea. Looking foward to the show starting!

Thanks Cristella for the feedback.
I've already looked into various forums for this site, however, due to the limited server space and hosting provided by my ISP I am unable to upload or dont have access to database servers, MySQL 3 and 4, PostgreSQL 7.x, MS SQL 7/2000 (inc. via ODBC)
ect. required for phpbb or another forum that is hosted within the site. If you have any suggestions as to how i can get around this or how i can get further external server space- please post a reply to this thread. Thanks again for the feadback || Inside Australian Idol ||

Well that makes a lot of since then, i guess pro boards would be the better choice. Definitely do not go with boardnation.com, iv had a forum there for a long time and they get a lot of server errors every few days, you would find the forum would be down almost twice a week, just a warning. Since you dont have access to mysql, there's also perl, and i think the www.yabbforum.com/ uses perl so check that out. How much bandwidth and space do you currently have at the moment, because i imagine this site is going to get extremely busy once the show starts? A really affordable host with massive gb's and transfer is www.gisol.com. On there cheapest plan for around $14aus a month you get 65GB/transfer and 1gig space. Anyway there's some suggestions, last one might be to try a new colour scheme. Also, if your looking for any moderators id be happy to help out! |

Hi Guys, I actually like proboards but maybe a Yahoo group would be more sponsor friendly LOL  The name's Smarty ;D I am a self-confessed reality show and forum addict. Guess we'll be seeing a bit of each other over the next few months. Pleased to meet you  |

Whilst I agree that I prefer phpBB or phpInvisionBoard - it's understandable obviously you need an alternative because of your server limitations. I like this proboards set up - nice colour scheme too. I have a popup stopper - and the advertisements seem to be text at the moment. So overall - good job |

Oh ok, sorry then. But it is significantly more expensive than identical packages elsewhere.
