    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.

    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.
