Recently I installed a forum for testing. I used phpbb on it but later I realised that it has a big demerit that the URL it gives does not contain the content of title of thread. I checked this forum and here also the issue is same.
Only
BBPRESS a Wordpress-based forum is the only forum that will show the title of the thread on the URL
Was this not taken into consideration while choosing forum software ? Or does it not matter much? Are there some special benefits of SMF over other popular forum softwares like xenforo or vbulletin?
SMF is the best forum software when Satoshi is thinking of a platform for Bitcoin discussion
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 absolutely 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!
So far the forum has reached its popularity because of its simplicity in hosting discussions about Bitcoin.
