We created an account at FreeForums.org some times ago, just to see how their dedicated administration panel works on top of PhpBB 3. We haven't be disappointed, it drastically improves the administration tasks of this bulletin board.

Let's discover this forum hosting provider, that exists since 2007.

Summer is already well advanced, and most of you are in holidays, but for those who are not, we are proud to show you the new improvements we made on our front page. The timeline and the forum of the year are now on the left column at the top, and up to 15 forum softwares are now displayed in the forum carousel.

Really aware users should also have noticed a small update on the page header 2 days ago. It is now a little bit thiner, in order to improve usability for small screens (particularly for laptops, notebooks, iPad and so on).

Note that the Focus on... feature came back from the bottom to the top.

As usual, please report any problem you encounter, and do not forget to take a screenshot and tell us which browser you are using.

Coming from Germany, Burning Board exists since 2001 and could be defined as a really powerful commercial alternative to other classic forum softwares... Burning Board is edited by the WoltLab company, and counts more than 100,000 active installations.

A new service from Lefora guys is born: Tal.ki. Its aim is pretty simple: embed a forum on any website just by adding a small snippet of Javascript code. This is clearly revolutionary, and absolutely outstanding, as you will discover in the Tal.ki review...

One year after the latest release of PunBB, version 1.3.4, Forum Software Reviews has reviewed it again and the PunBB Review has been updated. This is finally done, and please note that the same really good score of 7/10 has been given to PunBB, as it is still, without any doubt, a great forum software when you look for simplicity and ease of use.

We also take the time to update the PunBB live demonstration, that wasn't updated since the creation of this website, 4 years ago! (actually, PunBB was the second forum we reviewed here).

It could be really interesting for your members to have an idea of how many times a subject has been viewed or read. Unfortunately, Drupal does not provide this in the default forum module, but it already provides some key features that helps integrating this views count really nicely and easily.
