Which forum software is the most usable and compatible with Facebook and Wordpress integration?
By usable, I mean that is easy to use for end-users, and also easy to make modifications/plugins for coders. The forum's speed is also a consideration. And by Facebook and Wordpress integration, I mean us something like Facebook Connect in which users can register using their Facebook account.
I'm thinking of vBulletin (vB), Invision Power Board (IPB), and Simple Machines Forum (SMF); but still not sure which one to use. If there's any more suggestion, I'll be glad to know, though I'm not considering bbPress since I need something bigger than that..
Any ideas? Thanks a lot.
Discuz! is a sophisticated PHP+MySQL-based forum software made by a Chinese company. Though it is "Made in China", it has all-round features for all uses as it provides all sorts of plugins and extension.
However, one disadvantage for Discuz! is that the developer stops developing English version. Luckily, there are still many English-speaking developers willing to continue translating Discuz! to English version. Here is an Indonesian site (mainly in English): http://discuzindo.net/ , which you can download the software in English version.
