vBulletin is a popular platform.

 

No idea of costs ... nor if it is the right way to go if you are thinking of a classifieds section ...

surely - italic -  still means one can say what one wants under the pretence of not really giving a crap? i have been away for a while though....not sure what is acceptable these days😇

and it will get shut down due to conflict of interest more than anything i presume. why would they share IP? If they really want to help they will PM him the answer and delete the thread anyway i guess.

Our forums run on the Invision Community platform and we're hosted on AWS. Invision do offer hosted options which makes it all a lot easier with entry pricing at $49 per month (hosting + licence). 

If I were starting out or starting over I'd look at something like https://www.discourse.org/
They also have similarly priced hosted options, but their platform is 100% free if self hosted and is a very light-weight forum focussed option. Invision has many other bells and whistles that may not be needed.

Thanks Matt.

For my target user base Discourse won't work... but then the precision shooting is a very technical data driven discipline... never know, maybe we will change.
