Title: Possible change of forum software
Post by: Steve on Feb 20, 07:12 AM 2017
SMF is the software that runs this forum. But it is lagging a bit behind modern technology. Probably the best software is xenforo which is used at :.gamblersforum.com

SMF is still the most popular software.

Please give you opinion. Should we change the forum software? From member perspective, it's more about layout and member features. I think xenforo has better features. But SMF is much more intuitive.

My opinion is xenforo will probably overtake SMF as the dominant forum software soon. A lot of the largest forums for all kinds of topics are switching to xenforo.

I would say don't try to fix what it is not broken. You can always switch, but so far no rush. After all i am pretty sure you have other things to care about meanwhile.

Nottop,
Well said, brother, well said. That guy is a bona fide war criminal.

Yes I'm leaning towards just leave it. The main thing was I wanted to make it link:s because of changes Google was making, and I've already done that. The only exception is some pages with embedded images wont be link:s but I can fix that with a programmer.
