Like most Joomla! users, you may be somewhat frustrated with using JoomlaBoard - the standard discussion forum which has been available since the Mambo days.  Despite being pretty simple to use, JB never really developed from an admin stand-point; its clunky to customize - both re: styling and removing/editing functions & menus, and hasn't really offered new features in quite some time.

Well, I was happy to discover Fireboard today - what first caught my eye was that the port over from Joomlaboard requires just one click!  I popped it on a live site running JB and yes, it really was that simple - install it as a component, then import the JB database into Fireboard's dB tables et voila!

There are already some improvements over Joomlaboard and Fireboard promises more soon - notably, there are some cool display panels a la SMF showing users latest posts, forum stats and so on.

Check out their fully functioning demo and see why its worth switching to Fireboard today!

Fireboard - posting topics
written by Marco, March 12, 2008

Hello, I'm trying to get the Fireboard forum setup for my site, and having trouble with posting new post within the site. Also had trouble with setting up a new category in the forum administration. I find it difficult to change the settings for "No Parent" to Top Parent or something.

could someone give a tut for installing Fireboard on joomla. Seems as how the people that made fireboard expect us everyone to just know how to do it and not add an instruction page in the Zip. What about us nOObs! I have been googling for an hour. thanks
