MyBB vs SMF?

[Orion 33]

As always, your help and insight is appreciated, @isoldehn!

 

Yikes. Modifications that don't uninstall properly irk me. That's a huge turn off for me, especially since it'll mess up my own coding. What a pain... Thank you for that information, I will gladly step away from it and instead go towards your suggestion. It removes a lot of additional steps like you said.

Good to hear from someone recent! 
 

Ironically, after all these years, we’re thinking of switching to MyBB. We have been on SMF this entire time, but seeing that a lot of modifications are updated for 2.1 SMF, we’re thinking on sliding on over.

The one thing we’re having issues with is transferring BBCode posts that use ‘BBCode with Style,’ but the majority of it has been sorted out through conversions. It’s mainly tables that are the kicker. (If you have advice on this, let me know. Not a lot of SMF sites use that modification per my knowledge.)

 

What have been the benefits/downsides of switching for you guys? @south

I think I actually just found south's post on this over at MyBB. I gave the MyCode I use for this here but I will fair warn that plain MyCode won't allow stacking of these so something like YourCode would be required. As a work around I created div2, div3 and so on with the same code so users could stack but as far as I'm aware YourCode allows nesting.
