[Rogue Znowman]

Hey.
There's another forum that I am involved with, which is based on one of my real life hobbies. We use the forum to organise games/meets, as well as buy/sell items, and of course for discussion.

The current forum is quite old, and is using a free, remotely hosted forum from Conforums ( http://www.conforums.com ), which completely lacks all features that may be useful. With my urging, we've decided to create a new version of the board, definitely php-based.

I've volunteered to take an admin's seat and set it up. Now, my only concern is that I have no php experience. What I'd like from you guys, is advice on which software to use, and any help on finding a good place to assist me in learning the language.

Software I'm considering:
- Invision http://www.invisionboard.com
- vBulletin http://www.vbulletin.com
- phpbb http://www.phpbb.com (free)

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I dont like Vbulletin or PHPBB, but Invision looks like it will be harder to get stuff for in the future.... Invision doesnt need much PHP skill for the basics but if you wanna get skinning and such youl need some... i dont have ANY and i get by ok....
