SMFNew or MyBBNew
« on: February 27, 2010, 01:11:58 pm »
I just got the message that PHPBBNEW is closing :(

So which platform should I choose: SMFNew or MyBBNew?

I run an online course, and use the board for class discussions and online submissions of work.

Create a forum on both smfnew and mybbnew and have a feel. There is no rush, the deadline is April 1st.

Yeah, I guess that would work. 

Which platform would you say is simpler?
Which is more like PHPBBNEW?

SMF is much more simpler.

MyBB is more like phpBB.

Personally, i prefer SMF.

I think you should go for SMF. But if you want it to be like Phpbb go for Mybb.
When writing a support topic, remember to post: Your forum URl, forum type(smf 1x,smf2x or mybb 1x), your problem.

When leaving a suggestion, please leave only two links to the modification/plugin, otherwise it will most likely be not looked at until there is a link to the modification/plugin

MyBB is probably the most user friendly. The interface on SMF was very poorly designed IMO.

MyBB allows for the most customization as well.

But this is going to lead to a flaming war no doubt, so make up your mind fast before i get ambushed in my sleep for being the sole defender of MyBB!

Everyone has their opinion, but I'm going to go with SMF. I just think that it's easier and faster than MyBB. However, it seems that MyBB has more modifications than SMF. I don't know for sure, though. But like I said, everyone has their own opinion :P
It is truely a gift to be a part of the support forums. Message me if you need anything ;)

MyBB has more modifications and more Theme options but if you cant code its usless (almost :S)
I am a SMF user and use it since i made my site with SMFnew.com (thats about 7 months or so not sure :P)
But as matt said use both and look forward to see which fits your site needs the most.
