I might be moving reluctantly from SMF to Mybb soon... I've never used Mybb before. I hear alot of good things about it.



Is it easy to use, Much different from SMF?
 
Not the software, but the way it's developed, it's quite far behind most of the other software around, features wise. Most have AJAX and things like that now days.
 
Back up the forum before you move it,

Mybb is amazing, But I use Phpbb for my forum,
 
We will be switching. The forum is backed up everyday.



Wouldn't use phppbb's again

SMF are working on SMF 3, so going to continue with them for abit longer.
 
I've been using mybb for over 2 years now it is great. But 1.4.11 is all screwed up and not working. Smf themes are lacking but the software is great. 2.0 rc2 is the best. I would never switch to mybb for a serious site.



SMF 2 has a feature to make the posts not show before a moderator approves it. So people can post all the spam and porn they want but no one will ever see it. Only you the admin and any mods you have. Then before it ever shows to the public and anybody gets to see it you just delete it. What a life saver. Never geot spam with mybb however but at least nothing will stop one from posting it. So smf is much better.

Why the switch if you don't mind me asking?



SMF may be going under. However there is a SMF 3 in the works so we are currently seeing how it goes. Craig is keeping an eye on what they are doing.

SMF does have decent themes if you look for them. Ive seen some really nice ones, but took us ages to find them..



We have that spam mod system in place on HH.
 
I got nothing to do today, so I might make a forum to play around on using MyBB software.
