Im trying to decide which of the two to use. I hear the Postnuke has more addons/modules, but then I hear that PHPnuke is more stable or is better, but has less development. Is this true? What are the differences between the two and which would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

Bump for you my friend... I'm looking at the two too.

Is there another forum where we could perhaps ask this question? Webhostingtalk doesn't really center on this stuff.

phpnuke is poorly coded, and has a whole bunch of security problems...so much so that my webhost (hostculture.com) won't let you run it on their servers :) Just go with postnuke...its phpnuke, but better.

I can't speak from personal experience because I haven't used either one but I do recall seeing a thread similar to this one before and I think the consensus was that PostNuke was the better of the two.

I tried postnuke once, but I found that I was modifying so much code to make it work the way I wanted it was just going to be easier to code it all myself....so I did. I kept a prepackaged forum (as that is just wayyyy too much programming), but for the main site I just coded it all myself.

I'd go with Postnuke, it's a lot easier to customize in my opinion. PHPnuke had too many bugs too..

But my personal preference is NewsPro and just customizing everything with Newscat.
