Contains Pre-install Forum and Board Applications for the Hosting Automation Software H-Sphere (EasyApp).

The following Applications are included in our EasyApp package:

• Simple Machines Forum

  • Simple Machines Forum - SMF in short - is a free, professional grade software package that allows you to set up your own online community within minutes.

  • Its powerful custom made template engine puts you in full control of the lay-out of your message board and with our unique SSI - or Server Side Includes - function you can let your forum and your website interact with each other.

  • SMF is written in the popular language PHP and uses a MySQL database. It is designed to provide you with all the features you need from a bulletin board while having an absolute minimal impact on the resources of the server.

  • SMF is the next generation of forum software, and best of all it is and will always remain completely free!.

• Vanilla

  • Vanilla is an open-source, standards-compliant, multi-lingual, fully extensible discussion forum for the web.

  • A Rich User Experience

    In Vanilla you can quickly and easily see which discussions you haven't read, and how many new comments are in each discussion. You can run advanced searches through discussion topics, comments, and users. You can change the way Vanilla operates using per-user preferences. Finally, you have a very customizable account profile where you can provide pictures of yourself and add as much information about yourself as you like.

  • Slick Administration Capabilities

    Vanilla has built-in spam control, an autonomous user & role management system, and affords administrators a great deal of flexibility and ease-of-use. As an administrator you can completely change the layout, style, language, and all application settings through an intuitive and easy to navigate settings tab. Adding and organizing roles, categories, languages, and add-ons is a breeze. Simple or advanced searches that yield useful results are invaluable in day-to-day administration.

  • Extend the functionality of your forum with limitless Add-ons

    Vanilla is all about add-ons. We've spent many, many months developing a new system whereby developers can create add-ons for Vanilla that allow you to do just about anything with your forum. Want to turn your Vanilla into a bug tracking system? Want to tag discussions instead of categorizing them? Maybe you just want a fancy highlighting effect when new messages are posted. Your imagination is the limit.

• phpBB3

• Since its inception, phpBB has been among the leading bulletin board solutions and quickly rose to be the world's leading Open Source forum software. phpBB has always comprised of a key feature set, including powerful permission systems, private messaging, search functions, a customisable template and language system, as well as support for multiple databases.
