FWIW, I tried hacking up Postnuke when I had been using PHP for about three months, and found its coding (at least for the sections I was trying to modify) to be kludgy in the extreme. I've looked less at phpBB, but the minor feature I needed to add was easy to sneak in, and the coding style didn't cause my head to ache.
I'm not trying to start any religious-type wars, just thought it was possibly a useful data point. --DTVZ On Wed, 23 Mar 2005 15:06:49 -0500, Randy Edwards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm working on creating a bit of a web based family portal/community > > center and one of the pieces I'm looking at is a forum or bulletin board > > type service. > > I run a number of PostNuke <http://www.postnuke.com> (and despite the .com, > it's free GPLed software) sites and know that literally thousands of people > use it just for such a portal you described.
