Welcome to Big Boards. Big Boards at one time offered the Zathyus network our long famous Resource Archives, our extensive search indexes, and our info-packed resource forums. Eventually, these were made redundant by upgrades to the documentations and expanded search features added to the ZetaBoards software, and this forum then lost relevancy and subsequently became inactive.

Our team then embarked on a new project called Planet Nexus, where a bold new experiment in forum promotion is taking place. We call it nexworking. NexusTree offers social networking pages for forums in a fully automated format. Your NexusTree page is created instantly when your join the nexus. Find out more by visiting Planet Nexus, and become part of the nexworking revolution.

Your Issue/Question: Recently we changed from invisionfree to phpbb and I have to say, I know nothing about it. I have been going to the usual sites to get mods and skins/stlyes as they call it. Yet It's very difficult adjusting to a new board. Already I'm finding several problems and I wanted to make this thread in case of the SMALLEST chance you would be able to still help me. I enjoyed your help with my old board, this place has been the best learning experience out there for me and I hope that won't ever change.

One, We are having a HARD time getting the subforums on. The mod won't work.

Two, With the skin we are using the easy subforums we did have in wouldn't work. We upgrade, lost our board, thankfully we returned back to the old version and had a back up of our board. But now we have no subforums once again and no skin.

Three, without subforums members are getting out of hand, think they can do anything they please just because the site isn't completely fixed. They are breaking rules BUT I can't find a mod or any way to warn theses guys with a warning bar as on invisionfree. They basicaly can do as they please and it's not making the site look good.

Four, I personaly haven't been installing the mods and skins so I don't know this, I don't know how to change banners, put things in the header and footer like before or if any of the codes used here on invisionfree would work such as the member legend, auto forms and such.

Thanks again for the help.

as I haven't recently been on any phpbb boards, and or helping on them in awhile. I can however give you the main phpBB's support section. which gives links to varius places depending on which kind of support you need.

Link: http://www.phpbb.com/support/

This should somewhat help you, and I do believe your Admin CP has a Support Query built in.

As this seems more like a Documentation Issue and a Knowledge Issue, I will also give you the two links to these to places (even though they are both located in the first link. Documentation: Here; Knowledge Base: Here

I hope this helped you.

I personally would not recommend phpBB to anyone. It is more basic than IPB 1.3. and is less secure. If you are going to use it, I recommend you have some experience with it before hand by the likes of using a free-hosted version.

I used to use a free hosted version of phpBB which was quite simple to understand and get to grips with, however, since I discovered invisionFree, I scrapped my free-hosted phpBB board for something that I think is much better.

Alls I can do is what [-Stary-] has done and advise a visit to the phpBB support site. Warning: Be careful, they ban you for no particular reasons, they banned me because I thanked them for the support - partly the reason why I find InvisionFree much better too. :(
