I converted all my phpbb 2.x sites to mybb long ago. I had at least 5 existing forums and started a new site with mybb and liked it so much that I converted the rest of my sites to Mybb.
So my question is...did you switch from another forum software and which one?
I switched from vbulletin and then from alot of phpbb 2.0 sites.
Switched from SMF to phpbb 2.x.x to Mybb.
I forgot my largest site at the time was vBulletin which I had converted to from phpbb. I thought VB was the answer to my problems but it wasn't. It was MORE problems. Not until I went Mybb did I really feel I had a grip on my forum management. Other software had me feeling helpless even though I had also created modifications for phpbb. Mybb offers me the flexibility I need.
I switched because my 14 yr old son found MyBB & asked me if I would help him change his forum over to MyBB from phpbb 3.0.4. I said I would look at it & see what I thought I was amazed out the features & how easy it was to implement plugins. phpbb has always been a chore to keep up to date & add plugins/features.
When I get some time I just need to learn about color changes atleast for the board. I already tried a template but it was going to require work to get the plugins to work with it.
Overall Good job MyBB Staff!!
I've switched from using Jcink, an IPB 1.3 final host, to MyBB.
I honestly don't remember. I was probably just looking at every free script out there till I found something I liked. And, well MyBB is the only script I have stuck with for years now
.
smf 1.1.4 => mybb 1.29 I think...
