Després de comparar diferents Forum Tools, al final ens hem decidit pel programa phpBB2 per gestionar els fòrums del SeRMN (i els del MRUI també).

El programa s'ha instal·lat al nou servidor del servei (encara en procés de posta en funcionament) i serà accessible a través del corresponent hoste virtual del SeRMN.

• phpBB web site

• Support page
  • Documentació per la versió 2.0
  • Tutorials en Flash de la versió 2.0

• phpbbhacks.com is the premier source for phpBB hacks, templates, related downloads and everything phpBB. We feature the largest database of phpBB related downloads, granted with author permission, online including phpBB 3 hacks, phpBB 2 hacks, phpBB 3 styles and phpBB 2 templates. COMPTE!! no forma part del lloc oficial, qualsevol codi procedent d'aquest lloc s'haurà de comprovar abans d'instal·lar-ho.

• phpBB MODs data base. Val la pena fer un cop d'ull a les extensions més populars en base a la seva puntuació, i a les més descarregades, i instal·lar-ne les més útils (millora en la seguretat, major privacitat, etcètera) abans de fer públic del fòrum.

• Memberlist Access. With this MOD admin can decide who gets to view the memberlist. Options include: All, registered users, moderators, admins. Options are settable from the ACP.
• Expire Unactivated Users by Timeframe. Deletes unactivated users from the forum memberlist based on a timeframe since their unactivated registration. Designed to eliminate spammers.
• Easy assign user to groups. This mod allows the admin to assign a user to any combination of groups from a single page by using the usual manage user page in the ACP.
• Admin Userlist. This MOD lets you view all of your members and various information about them in the Admin Control Panel. From the list, you can perform various actions on multiple users. Delete, Ban, Unban, Add to Usergroup, etc…
• View Topic Name While Posting. This will allow you to see what topic you are replying to when you are posting a reply.
• Stop Spambot Registration. This MOD stops spambots that provide Profile Information during registration in spite of a message saying “leave the Profile Information blank”. An e-mail notification will be send every time there was a spambot registration attempt. NOTE: the e-mail notification can easily be left out if you wish.
• List watched Topics. This MOD will allow you to easily see all topics you are watching. It uses search.php for this.
• Send mail to user on admin (de-)activate. Normally when a user's status (active yes/no) has been changed through the ACP, the user isn't notified of this change. If the board requires admin/user activation and the user is activated by the admin he/she therefore has no way of knowing that the activation has taken place already. Similarly is the user has been deactivated he/she will not know this until they next try to login and then they often will not understand what's going on. This mod fixes that. If the board requires admin/user activation and the user is activated through the ACP the activation key (if exists and is not for password change) will be deleted and the user notified by email. If then at a later stage the user is de-activated and/or activated again through the ACP the user is notified of this by email as well.
• Forum membership benefits. This mod allows for members of admin-specified groups to have the ability to send/recive PMs, have an avatar, and have a signature. A member also have the words “Site Member” below their user name on each post.
• Security Question. Add a security question and hide profile fields during registration.

Links phpBB 2 forums with email mailing lists. Either use an existing mailing list or create a new one from within m2f. Posts to the forum are emailed to the list, emails to the list are posted to the forum.
• Cóm importar ''flat files'' dins phpBB.

• El board del phpBB és un bon exemple de cóm organitzar els fòrums, i de regles de funcionament pels usuaris (en cas de tenir fòrums oberts).
• També el fòrum de phpBBModders és un bon exemple (especialment pels fòrums del MRUI).

Aquestes són les llistes actualment en funcionament al SeRMN i que caldrà convertir en fòrums,
