Hey guys, my name is Dan. I am a retired Support Specialist from SMF (Simple Machines Forum). I currently have eight websites and eight forum, all running SMF. I've been doing some reasearch and comparing SMF to MyBB. Thus far, I've been quite impressed with MyBB. I've installed a copy on my local server for testing purposes. The only downfall, IMO, would be the fact that index.php is never the root for the *entire* forum. I'm so used to SMF being index.php?action=* for *all* parts of the forum. I haven't really decided which is more beneficial. I'll dig through the code and have a look. I hope to remain active on this community and get to know not only the software, but the people of MyBB

Welcome to the forum Dan. Hopefully you'll transfer all your SMF boards to myBB in the future!
Welcome!
Welcome. I can't tell you which forum to use, but I think you'll like MyBB if you switch.
Not only is the forum good, but the people here kick lime.

I've found that neither method is really any better. You get used to both. I've found that SMF seems to have a layout more like IPB, whereas MyBB seems to have a bit of vB to it.

I've also noticed that.
Thanks for the warm welcome, guys
