What is SMF?

Simple Machines Forum - SMF in short - is a free, professional grade software package that allows you to set up your own online community within minutes. Its powerful custom made template engine puts you in full control of the lay-out of your message board and with our unique SSI - or Server Side Includes - function you can let your forum and your website interact with each other. SMF is written in the popular language PHP and uses a MySQL database. It is designed to provide you with all the features you need from a bulletin board while having an absolute minimal impact on the resources of the server. SMF is the next generation of forum software, and best of all it is and will always remain completely free!

SMF 1.0.7 install DOWNLOAD

I think you made a little mistake while doing that. Remember invisionfree hosts free forums from THEIR server and put ads on it. You should review IPB not IF.I like IPB the best

I still think mine is the best on the internet >_> I could give you the source but it would be messy and crappy and I don't think you'd want it.

Note: I didn't just steal the source from a GameFAQs spinoff, I made it from scratch.

Are you crazy or what, do you know what you had made? Just like Panzer says, you had made big mistake.First you describe phpbb forum and than you put link to download SMF. SMF is component for Joomla and Mambo (CMS), and phpbb is usual forum, i think you are new in web-design business.

no i aint new i will make an review on ipb soon

IPB allows loads of options - However - PHPbb is constructed in a way where you can include your own scripts and themes. IPB on the other side have more packages included - which might suit most of the hosters. I personally use PHPBB but Invision powar board works just as great.Usually its easier for newbies to use IPB - To register and make new topics due to the guiadence.
