I noticed almost all graphic related forums use invision while the mainstream are phpbb and vbulletin
Why is this?

Vbulletin runs the better company, but there Forum software is resource intensive.
phpbb has too many exploits
IPB runs the better software.
I would never use phpbb
SMF www.simplemachines.org is also Free Forum Software

I like IPB's features, but the skinning engine is PHPBB I can skin and it's easy to get to do what I want

Does the invision board has more features then phpbb?phpbb is kinda too simple and alot of people provide it for free
I did notice it has several mods available which seem to be good for graphic related sites, such as a download section etc.

there aren't really that many members here.
I always thought pixel2life was a really big site, but it aint that huge.
Like it though

I can't skin any of them, it takes too long, and I can't figure anything out in it.I use PHPBB as well as a beefed up mod_security ruleset to block as many explots as possible, never had a problem. I've had hostees complain that our server was insecure because their phpbb forums (5 versions out of date) was hacked. Too bad I have no sympathy.

whats more powerfull about it?Invision scales well from small forums to very large forums. It's less resource intensive than vB, and is more powerful than phpBB.

I do love the look of IPB over phpbb though. Maybe thats why "graphical art communities" prefer it. Who knows

The paid versions are secure. The 1.3.1 Final version people are stuck on is notI always liked IPB has better features than any board its secure and its easuer to use.
