The Better Board? YaBBSE or phpBB.

I am extremely impressed with YaBBSE and its easy configuration to get it up and running, quickly. While I was searching for a BB to run on MySQL I also found phpBB (http://www.phpbb.com) which seemed pretty similiar in nature and very popular. What is the opinion of those who have used both? What are the pros and cons of each? I would really like to hear the unbiased feedback.

My biased opinion: YaBB SE is better.

My main reason?  The (new) icons.  I hate the way phpBB considers everything before your last visit read - period.  Even if you didn't have a chance to read everything.... that's, imho, dumb.

I agree - That is very annoying. And unfortunately not unique to phpBB either, the same applies to vBulletin and several other forum software...

One thing that I noticed about YaBBSE email setup is that sendmail worked seamlessly on our Unix station. I have not yet been able to get sendmail working with phpBB. (that's unbiased)

with all respects to everyone .. I think we are here so we already like yabbse.
I do not think that we will like it when such a debate is going on other forums about yabbse.

a thing that one do not like my be the love of another one.

Before I set up a YaBB SE, I tried set up a php.bb to try out. But I didn't have a clue how to edit the template.

YaBB SE makes that part generally easy, by allowing the editing of the .html itself through either admin or the template.php file itself. IMO, that was a very good move, and a specific reason for going with YaBB SE. After all, how many forum admins actually want to keep with a default forum template?

People are getting so uneasy about comparing the two products and the impllications of asking such a question on the YaBBSE site. Relax already. Why do you think I am asking the question on the YaBBSE site? There has been a little bit of detailed feedback so far and that is exactly what I and others are looking for who are not familiar with YaBBSE. Just vote and keep the comparisons coming  ;)

We are going to invest a lot of time and effort into one of these products. I want to know why YaBBSE is worth that investment over any other BB.
