Check this out. I think looks-wise this software looks very similar to phpBB, yet it seems to be easier to use for retard admins like me, and also has way more useful features that our forum cannot get.

Supposedly it is possible to convert from phpBB 3.0+ to SMF, which we tried switching to vB which was impossible to do without taking a yuge risk. I just want opinions here, what do you think? Obviously nothing solid yet, this is just a spur of the moment thought I had after checking out their software.

I'd suggest messing around with a test board, but ultimately we should wait for the tech-savvy admins to chime in.

If its best for Zeta then that's great but you should ask @Uchicha and @Undead Ban since they know about this stuff.

Good idea.

I just want something easier to modify. Right now phpBB is so fucked because extensions really only add properly for prosilver and its variants. Anything different and the themes/extensions don't work.

If I could see any of those example pics, I'd chime in. But they show up tiny as hell for me for whatever reason, and there's no zoom option.

I'll find a forum that uses it
