Joomlaboard, previously Simpleboard, is the integrated Forum solution for Joomla. The administration backend is fully integrated, native ACL implemented and is extremely configurable.
"It can easily withstand the comparisons with 'bigger' boards like phpBB and the likes. Off course, commercial forums like vBulletin are somewhat more advanced, though that's what you'd expect from a $300 product..."
Joomlaboard
Joomlaboard is the succesor of Simpleboard. The version numbering is exactly the same, because the functionality is exactly the same. This is done to avoid confusion between the components.
However, Simpleboard is not compatible with Joomlaboard and Joomlaboard doesn't work too well on Mambo.
