Update: Poll: EZ Board

[sparkle]

Ok, everyone. I am considering adding a forum to a new site I am designing and am considering using EZ Board. What are everyone's feelings about it?

I really want to go with a UBB but don't have $200 to shell out.

I would appreciate feedback because if everyone says "that board sux man!" I won't use it.

It is not as nice as FuseTalk but it is still pretty good.

The price is right... and I think it makes for decent forums.

I visit several ezboard sites and have no problem with them.

if you are thinking of getting a forums. how about ub2k or boardpower? it's free for personal use.

ezboard is pretty good, but fusetalk beats it by far imo. ezboard is better than UBB still.

Here's another sample, my old bbs. At first ezboard was just fine, then they had some updates that made the whole board very buggy so I was forced to change to vbulliten. If the bugs are all gone then it's a good bbs. And hey ya can't beat the price.

I suggest going to the ezboard support forums and see how things are going with them now as far as bugs.

It's ok, but ezboard can be very sluggish at times.

For a free (or low-cost, depending on the options you choose) BB, it's okay - but I stress only OK. Tech support is non-existent and with each new upgrade (and they're running about every two weeks lately) there are tons of bugs they spend the next two weeks sorting out.

I know smaller forums work just fine on EZ Board, but if you plan on having a lot of traffic, I'd go elsewhere. I will be, as soon as I can afford the software.
