Social Networking Login and Registration now supported!
Supports registration and logins via Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft Accounts, Discord, Steam, Twitch and Reddit.  Google accounts coming soon hopefully! You can also link your existing forum account as well.
Main benefits is a one click registration and login which should make it easier for people to use the forum.  Have attached several screenshots showing this new feature.


Currently does not support custom domains but working on a workaround. If you are a custom domain user and interested let me know and will see what we can do.

For people who do not want to use this you can disable under Admin -> Registration -> Settings then "Disable Social Networking login options"
 
One of our goals is to make it easier for people to join and login into your forum. In the coming weeks we will be focused on finding ways to improve user experience in regards to posting, login and registration.
Enjoy,SMFNew

SMFNew is excited to announce a new awesome feature inline attachments. It allows you to insert an attachment into part of your post! Very useful when dealing picture based threads/forums
As a bonus! Forums that had 10mb total space for storage space or less have been boosted to 20mb which is now the default limit .

This inline attachment feature is located when adding an attachment or editing a post under the attachment section. It gives a couple different options to insert the attachment into a post!


Adds bbcodes [attachimg=n], [attach=n], [attachurl=n] or [attachmini=n] to position attachments within the post.  n is the number of the attachment in the post, eg first = 1, second = 2, etc.
Adds optional align and width attributes as [attachimg=1 align=left width=80]



Here is an example of an inline attachment

This screenshot above was posting as inline attachment inside the post!


Also We have just enhanced the quick search bar on all hosted forums! Based on the page you appear it will show either search entire forum, just the board, or topic.

You also have options to add google/bing search. Or customize what boards are shown as quick links

These features are active on any smfnew2.com forum
