I would prefer PHPBB v2.0 to latest or SMF v1 or v2 as i have knowledge on them and they have a lot of extras you can add.

The vshare installation i need integrating is live
but the forum is not yet thought of :)

I need to know what integrations are available before i start work on the actual forum as i would not like to build a PHPBB then only be able to get a SMF integration

Let me know what/if you can integrate and i can get the forum modded within 36 hours.

Thanks.
