Like most Joomla! users, you may be somewhat frustrated with using JoomlaBoard - the standard discussion forum which has been available since the Mambo days.  Despite being pretty simple to use, JB never really developed from an admin stand-point; its clunky to customize - both re: styling and removing/editing functions & menus, and hasn't really offered new features in quite some time.

Well, I was happy to discover Fireboard today - what first caught my eye was that the port over from Joomlaboard requires just one click!  I popped it on a live site running JB and yes, it really was that simple - install it as a component, then import the JB database into Fireboard's dB tables et voila!

There are already some improvements over Joomlaboard and Fireboard promises more soon - notably, there are some cool display panels a la SMF showing users latest posts, forum stats and so on.

Check out their fully functioning demo and see why its worth switching to Fireboard today!

Fireboard - posting topics posted by Marco on 2008-03-12 Hello, I'm trying to get the Fireboard forum setup for my site, and having trouble with posting new post within the site. Also had trouble with setting up a new category in the forum administration. I find it difficult to change the settings for "No Parent" to Top Parent or something. Quote
