Switching my popular forum www.mychemistrytutor.com/forums to another software package besides SMF has been weighing heavily on my heart lately.

There are some fundamental issues with SMF and my concern for their future growth.

I can do the conversion no problem but I wanted to get a general feel for the community and benefits myBB may have.
Well MyBB's plugin system is by far the best IMO where you can simply upload and activate. Writing your own isn't too hard either :p Themes and Templates are also very easy to customise and use. (Again just upload and activate)

1.6 is on the verge of release which has 49 new features including delayed moderation and group moderators. See http://blog.mybb.com/2010/01/01/mybb-16-...ew-part-1/ and http://blog.mybb.com/2010/01/25/mybb-1-6...ew-part-2/ for more details.

Our support here I would say is good too. As we have 5 dedicated staff for the job plus the rest of the staff also contribute occasionally to make sure your MyBB experience is a good one Smile

Also if you have any questions about MyBB's features or community then feel free to let us know Smile
MyBB is swift, clean, fast and easy to manage. Support is great and you have a wide variety of plugins and themes. It is fully customizable, with a full set a templates to edit at your wish.

It is very secure, providing you don't do anything stupid. Toungue

It's the best free board software on the web, and I highly recommend that you switch.
