Can anyone suggest good forums software to use with postgresql? I want to
integrate the forums users into my website's user base with a view.

I know of FudForums but it doesn't work well with views (the upgrade script
in particular chokes very badly on them) and seems kinda buggy in general.

The other I know of is phpBB but it has a bad security track record, broke
pretty badly when I tried to integrate it, and just isn't as feature rich as
I'd like.

Can anyone recommend any other forums software that works well?

You could look at w-agora. It's not too bad, and best of all, does the
whole nested threads thing that phpbb and so many other bb systems lack.

A lot of the docs are in french, fyi...

Drupal has a forums module and works well with PostgreSQL.

phpBB2 ... works just fine including upgrade procedures.
