I choose the experience of the forum system

Starting from the end of last November to do the site, to the present day independent IP4 million, PV40 million, accumulated some experience. Forum is an essential function of each site, so I also spent a lot of time comparing different forum systems, more than half a year, the current mainstream three forum system (dvbbs/discuz/phpwind) I used it again. Here are some of my experience, from the installation of convenience, the use of the process of problems, search engine friendliness, the official forum for free Support 3 aspects, I hope that the novice has a certain reference value.

1, installation, use experience

First of all, my first site A, the beginning with Phpwind 5.0.1, in addition to the ugly interface, other aspects are not bad, installation, backup, recovery data are very simple, suitable for beginners to use. But after a period of time, found my forum was automatic advertising machine stare, every day there are machine registration ID, and in each plate are issued a poster, need to constantly delete, although phpwind support according to the User name batch delete, but still very depressed. Later in the forum, someone said that you can add an answer to the question in the registration of the option, such as "Beijing Olympic Games is a year to hold" the correct answer to register successfully, I use this method, the effect is immediate, annoying advertising dispelled. Unfortunately, a few days later, there is a machine registration, so I immediately updated a problem in the registration file, and can be peaceful. So I think this method is still very good.

Some time ago looked at the next Phpwind 5.3.0 version, this version in the background on the integration of the above said to prevent the machine registration function, not need to change their registration files and upload coverage, very convenient.

Since March this year, I have done a second website B, because at that time a site Phpwind forum is also constantly affected by machine ads, so this time I chose discuz, installation, backup and Phpwind as simple, and the background of the classification is more clear. As a result of discuz and Qihoo search cooperation, so in the discuz background has Qihoo Forum marketing function, making the whole system is relatively large, I personally hate this, because I do not expect Qihoo to bring me access.

April, the third website c online, the content of the site is free source code, ASP wrote, so as long as buy an ASP virtual space, do not support the forum of PHP, had to choose to move the network forum system, a painful experience began. Dynamic Network Forum Business version (MSSQL database) and free version (Access database), free version of the database is access, the installation process is very simple, but according to many netizens experience, when the traffic is larger or larger data, access to the forum system access is very slow, So I found another version of MSSQL cracked. Compared to Phpwind and Discuz, the BBS version of the forum installed more trouble, need to install the MSSQLServer on their own machine, change the database table structure to complete. and later backups need to be done through the MSSQLSERVER, for every day to back up the data, it is very troublesome. But after a while, I still successfully installed on the virtual host of the MSSQL version of the network.

Forum online, a lot of user feedback on the speed is very slow, on the one hand, there is room for the problem, but I a site of the space is also above the service provider, users visit a article Phpwind forum speed can also. So I judge is the problem of dynamic network ASP. In the user's constant complaints, and coupled with the dynamic Network forum does not support pseudo-HTML URL structure, the search engine is very unfriendly, I decided to change into a PHP forum. After comparing Phpwind and discuz data conversion tools, services, feel that the discuz more perfect, so the new bought a PHP space, the forum to discus. The conversion process is relatively smooth, discuz enthusiastic help users are also many, this is very good.

2, the friendly degree to the search engine

Search engine on the importance of a site is self-evident, to Baidu, Google and other search engines to perform well, first of all, a problem will be included more pages, search engines like HTML end of the file, so we do in the site, the best of all pages are. html.

Because for most stationmaster, especially the novice, usually uses the virtual host, cannot add some HTML component by oneself. So whether the Forum support pseudo-HTML static is very important, this phpwind and Discuz are doing very well, in the background can be easily set up. and dynamic Network forum is not supporting pseudo-HTML, can only be asp?id=2&pid=23 this format, the search engine is very unfriendly, my C site, in the use of dynamic nets, one months of the forum has hundreds of pages, but Baidu that page is not included, for Discuz, Most of the pages are included in a few days.

3, the official forum free support

For beginners, the use of the Forum will always encounter more or less problems, at this time, it is very important to be able to get help, each forum's system of the official forum has gathered a large number of users, for beginners, this is a good place.

This is the best discuz, there are questions to consult, will soon be answered, and many times are Discuz's development team in answer. Phpwind's official forum also has a lot of enthusiastic users in the answer, it feels OK. The worst thing to do is to count the official forums, where many questions are not answered, and people who barely see the development team are uncomfortable.

In addition to explain that everyone has a problem when it is best to search in the forum, because your problems in general have been asked, and there will be a better answer. Here is a problem, the official forum system with the search function is not good, you can use Baidu's site syntax to search for the official forum data, play can get more results.

Finally, say, now the PHP Camp forum system is generally better than the ASP, but many times, because the article system, such as the use of ASP code, so rented the support of ASP's virtual host, this time the best solution is the ASP's forum system, but the move network is too disappointing, After the 7.0 version has not seen the introduction of 8.0, the highest voice of the user's pseudo static also did not provide, so many hardcore users are sad. Recently found Discuz launched ASP.net forum system, after a period of time I will try to see good use, and then further exchanges with you.
