Development phpbb plus or coppermine (for images & forum)?

Hi guys/gals,

Just a quick question what would you recommend is better at hosting pictures and a forum Copermine + phpbb intergrated or phpbb plus on its own (which uses phpbb as backbone with extra mods attached to it)?

I have never used coppermine of phpbb plus, so all your comments are welcomed.

Thanks guys.

 

How about SMF and something like SMF Gallery

I h8 PHPBB

 

i love smf! i reckon smf one would be better! personally!

 

Will have to look into SMF. Had a look at the screen shots, but was wondering if you had links to a web site where i can see it in full use. got any links??

Cheers

 

How about the SMF forum, www.simplemachines.org/community/

 

I've used phpBB with coppermine, both integrated. It works well, as users can easily flip between the two and everything runs off of the same DB. But if you do go this route, you'd want to create your own theme, or adapt a current one, to integrate the two better.

 

I understand what you mean.
