[Murder he Wrote]

Adult Ads at the bottom of your forum - very off putting.

As for the rest of the forum, i would have chosen an alternative other than SMF, skin seems ok though. Overall impression: ~neutral~

Best of luck anyway ~smile~

 

[netsavy006]

I got rid of the bottom adspace so unless it happens in the header it should be virtually eliminated.

I agree with Christian that a different software would have been better (MyBB could work), but SMF isn't bad.

Nice to see SP growing. ~cheesey_grin~

 

[netsavy006]

Well SMF was in the Fantastico installation options. MyBB wasn't. I will see what I can do about it.

 

[Zyenet]

If you change, make sure to convert it.

 

[netsavy006]

I will do my best with that. I will do it soon but not right now as I've got other business like getting back to college stuff and work to be doing. So I may do this Friday night or during the weekend.

Edit: tried to install MyBB and I got this message:

There seems to be one or more errors with the database configuration information that you supplied:

    * Could not select the database ''. Are you sure it exists and the specified username and password have access to it?

Once the above are corrected, continue with the installation.

Because of this I have decided for a while to stick with SMF until I can figure out what I need to do to resolve the issue.

I am staff here and it seems quite a nice forum 🙂

I would convert to a different software though as I am not keen on SMF.

 

[netsavy006]

As stated above I tried to install MyBB but I got stuck at a certain part of the installation. I will try again when I can figure out how to get MyBB installed.

 

[Callum93]

I know, why myBB though, why not phpBB3 ?

 

[netsavy006]

can you convert from SMF to phpBB 3?

and what's wrong with using SMF? Doesn't it make the forum kind of unique?

 

[Callum93]

No, SMF doesn't even have a mod CP.

 

[netsavy006]

It will if I upgrade to 2.0, but I haven't done that yet.

You double posted. Ok cool, do you know how long?

 

[netsavy006]

Well because of a mistake I made I have to start everything from scratch with really bothers me. It will be the same url but I'll have to set up all the forum and the like again.

I don't know when it will all be ready but I'm working on it now.

 

[netsavy006]

Well you can close this topic as I'm (again), shutting down and selling the hosting. I really need the money from the hosting to help pay other expenses.

and what's wrong with using SMF? Doesn't it make the forum kind of unique?

Sorry for posting in a topic that should be locked, but I 200% agree on this one. Everyone here uses phpbb, and it seems like it doesn't make the forums unique at all

No, SMF doesn't even have a mod CP.

That has to be one of the stupidest comments of all time. -lol- Uniqueness has nothing to do with a Mod CP or anything like that. Plus SMF has a ton more stuff (In 1.1.5 I may say, not even in 2.0, theres even more in there) than phpbb has.
