Vbulletin, Invision or phpbb?

[Widgey]

What are your views? What is the best?

[Martin]

In order I'd have...

Vbulletin <-- If you don't mind paying it's the best...

then

phpBB <-- has a more active "addon" building community.

then

Invision <-- Last but by no means bad...

[openmind]

Invision isn't bad but I still feel that vBull leads the way...

phpBB is the poor mans equivalent and should only be used IMHO if you can't afford £80 for vBull

Plus there is a huge community of "hackers at www.vbulletin.org

well i got vbulletin, but can't seem to find any templates/skins??

I refuse to buy them after purchasing the boards. I have found free ones, but not compatible with 3.5.0

To be honest Paul, it's a piece of cake to do your own...

That second one, Ruth (my client) did the replacement images herself very easily and very quickly...
