1. Integrating the forum with a graphical front end is very difficult and needs special skills and understanding of the PHP scripting as well as phpBB software.
2. Frequent failure of the forum software, which causes loss of members and valuable information.
3. Difficult to use for the beginners, which drives traffic out of the websites.
4. Since the software is a very common open source product, there are too many threats are available for the site and the risk of hacking is very high.
5. Customizing the site and upgrading the site software to a newer version is never possible to do both at same time because the customized phpBB products are not officially supported.
6. The poor Graphical interface of discussion forums. Drive members away from the website.
7. The ease of use is very low. Because the Articles, teaching lessons, and discussions are all mixed up with each other in the forums. Where it is hard to find the relevant one we need soon.
8. The control over the users and the contents of the site are limited. The site has to stick to a particular user interface constantly with very rare changes.
9. Requirement for special sections in the website such as events calendar, one complete control panel for entire site content.
