What forum software can I use on Hostgator (UNIX) that has voting capability?
My needs are as such:
-Essential: People can vote on posts showing they agree or disagree -mostly agree.
-People can possibly rate posts or give them a priority.
-I can define major posting groups
-I can review messages b4 they are posted.
-Might need thew ability to provide targeted or sponsored ads off to the side.

Thanks

I'm not really sure what you are asking for. Do you want an actual forum? There are many of them to choose from, except for the 'vote down' feature XenForo could work.

I've got the impression that you might want something different than a forum.

People can vote on a particular, lets say suggestion for a product improvement or bug fix. The more votes, the more people think that this bug fix or feature is needed.

Excellent idea of course.

Joomla uses

powered by UserVoice.com
Maybe you could integrate UserVoice into xenforo ?

Xenforo's integration with Joomla via Jfusion looks promising.

A bit over my head even though I was an IT Director. Happy to partner with someone on a few ideas I have but do not want to do any custom programming even though I have a friend who could assist if I pay him.
Thanks
