Thanks to everyone for the great suggestions.

Allow me to correct the spelling in the subject.

Sheesh... I have a degree and everything - you'd think I could spell.

There, that's better.

I recommend SMF (http://www.simplemachines.org/) as a good solid phpBB replacement. They've had a handful of vulnerabilities, but NOTHING compared to phpBB (which isn't
even allowed on my server anymore).

I know this has been discussed before, but I'm curious what folks are
using now.

I need to set up a web-based forum for my customers, and want
something that is simple to admin (I won't be doing it), allows custom
themes, has a good security track record, and is free/open source.

I've used phpBB in the past for other companies, and it worked well
enough, but didn't really stand out as all that great to me.
Today I discovered AEF (1), which seems very slick, but does not have
many skins, etc, and is not well known.

I suppose I'm most concerned about security - I've heard horror
stories of boards being hijacked, which I'd like to avoid.

Thoughts?
