PHP/mySQL Forum/BBoard Recommendations



Hi All,

I am looking to add a forum to our PHP/mySQL website. I have decided
to get an off-the-shelf solution as it seems there are plently of
excellent packages available - No point in re-re-inventing the wheel!

Can anyone recommend a particular forum package, given the points
below:

- SEO canonical issues must have been addressed (e.g. Only one URL per
page of content)
- I want to link from existing articles in our website to a forum
"Discuss this" - Ideally, at this point the forum software will create
a discussion automatically, based on values passed in the URL (Maybe a
dream feature?!)
- Ideally, must have a user base that is exposed via an API - So I can
use this for other features of the site

So far I have looked briefly at PHPBB and vBulletin.

Any recommendations/advice/etc will of course be appreciated!

Simon.
