Like, what does ZB has and IF doesnt? Why is ZB better than IF, in which way? I dont know to do it and than regret it. I try to find and to compare the futures of both of them, but no luck yet. Please help me make up my mind.

Using the features of Zetaboards and then deciding whether or not to upgrade. Keep in mind upgrading your Invisionfree board is one way. There is no turning back once it is upgraded.

I really like the look of Zeta and some of the new features but I prefer some of the existing features that IF has that are not available on Zeta.. ie. pm delete , IP search, different markers for different forums...

Member Posts: 4 Group: Members Member #176,803 Joined: November 13, 2008	If I set up a zetaboard to try, can I move my IF board to the new zetaboard I created or should I use a different name for my trial zetaboard so I can use the name I want in the move?

You can use whatever name you like. The boards you register directly through ZB are on a different server. So your IF board would convert to a different server and allow you to keep that name.
