| SMF or Simple Machines Forum is a popular free forum software based on PHP & MySQL. A list of features can be found on AdminFusions demo system, at the top click on Resources, then to Forum Demos EDIT: AdminFusion - Demo System

| I have used it before, and it is a great piece of forum software. I hadn't heard about it until around version 1.1.2. It is good, and I suggest you try and it and see what you think. One of the best aspects is how modifications can be installed without too much hassle  | ||||

| | Thanks for this - I now have it running on one site Morecambe I really like that it was easy to customize and access the templates. The admin side looks basic (compared to the vBulletin forums and Invision Poer Boards I have) but I think that this will be my default software now for future websites where I need a quick, simple and free forum solution. I'm impressed. | |
