SMF 2.0: What do you think?

(1/4) > >>

Hi everyone.

Now that SMF 2.0 has moved from the Release Candidate into full release, I was thinking of upgrading the forum.

Glenn Stauffer did this on http://forums.sohc4.net a few months ago (he was using RC5) so take a look over there and let me know what you think.

My main reason for wanting to change is that the new software has far better security and spam resistance. At the moment I get about 30-40 spam registrations per day. It only needs one to get through to swamp the boards...

Also, this version of SMF is now only updated with bug fixes as the focus has moved on.

What do you think?

There was some dissent initially at .net but as Den says, we get used to it. I can even find my way around Windows 7 now!

I will have to change eventually, it depends upon how long the 1.1.x version stays supported.

I like the ease of use of the add-ins on 2.0 - the gallery, calendar, advertising and treasury modules especially [when John transferred this site to me, the first thing I was hit with was a

Gosh, shows how rarely I go to the USA site.  I just looked and it seems fine to me, not much different really and if it means better security then we should do it.  I'm not sure about the advertisements though?
