    • Fireboard is still in development ( which is why they call it beta ) while SMF is a far more matured board, security and other "needed" features exist in SMF......

      so to me at this point in history it comes down to the site owner,,,,, if you have a small membership and you could get away with hicups in fireboard as it goes through its development cycle,, then use it...

      if on the other hand you have a larger membership and stability, security and backup and restore is more critical then go with SMF.

    • At this point in time, I'd recommend SMF... Much more feature-rich and the support is very good on the SMF forums.

    • I am holding out for the J1.5 PhpBB3 combo.
      There are rumors it is coming, and frankly that combo will leap frog past both SMF and Fireboard if it happens.

    • at the present moment

      i would say SMF

      ive recently just ported mine over to fireboard, and its certainly buggy

      smf is far more stable

      fireboard is promising though

    • I did try to install smf once and had issues installing it. I just installed fireboard and im quite pleased with it and how easy it is to edit the only problem is the parent and child hierarchy that makes it a little different and hard to edit. Does SMF make use of this hierarchy as well is it better to edit. also is there any verbiage on 1.5 and phpbb3 that I can read up on.

    • Is there any Joomla / SMF bridge that is still in development? I think both bridges are not in development anymore!
