Well both are Free open source forum scripts. I have started using SMF long time ago when their was soo many security loop holes were found in phpbb script. I like to hear a fair comparison from whom has used both scripts.

The phpbb script may have lots of loopholes but it still remains popular. I also prefer SMF just like you.

Yes you are both right- phpb is more popular but is much more unsafe. SMF for me

I wish SMF has more nice skins. phpBB has lot of nice free skins which make forums attractive.

PhpBB is far more better in many different ways, but its weak only at its profile navigation. However, SMF has one of the worst navigations around that i have seen

Why do you think SMF has the worst navigations ? I haven't noticed this except in few custom themes.

I don't like the navigation to it at all when it comes to profile management, private messages ...etc The forum it self is good though.

phpBB looks more like vBulletin and SMF is totally different This is one reason most people feel little strange about SMF specially about the user control panel.

i would say phpbb looks more professional as compared to the simple machines forum layout..and more over SMF offers a narrower layout most of the times..i am also not able to understand their CSS very well..i don't know why..but i find phpBB much better to use and manage..

Phpbb is simply the best for its mods and templates (I like very much points and bank mod).
I can't use it because it's difficult to integrate in joomla and I generally use fireboard with community builder integration. Smf hasn't got much templates and especially the mods I don't like itBye ![]() |
