What do you guys think about your MyBB boards? Of course I am trying to decide between mybb and smf. smf looks to be a bit more popular, but even their design is a bit dull, and mybb looks a bit better right out of the box, hopefully you experts and help me out here.
1: Am I able to post html code in posts (as admin)
I would like my posts to appear like webpages...
(for admin only, as no one needs to post html)
2: does mybb have a better looking seo structure then what I am seeing so far, or is their an addon that will provide better seo/url?
3: I wanna say that mybb supports videos, true?
4: How is the spam protection? am I have to setup
q/a on signup? How about under each post before submission?
Thanks guys...

Yes, HTML can be enabled on a per group basis.
My bad, I was thinking of per forum basis. There are plugins available for this though.

We have inbuilt SEF urls, but there's also a plugin available called Google SEO which provides many SEO additions to your board including dynamic meta tags, configurable advanced SEF urls for threads, profiles, announcements, and even the calendar.
It's based on the guidelines provided by Google, so it's a massive help towards SEO.

Indeed, we have support for many major platforms (Youtube, MetaCafe, Dailymotion, etc...) but it's also possible to implement others with a custom
MyCode.

We have a fairly decent captcha system with support for reCAPTCHA. There are also many
anti-spam plugins available along with inbuilt anti-spam features like signature control, hidden captcha, and more.

I have tried the html plugin you have suggested, but it fairly vague how to use it. I have tried placing html tags in post, it only showed the code.
any ideas?

any ideas?
Did you change the settings so your user or group can use html in posts?
