I've SMF a couple years ago on a project that didn't pan out. I'm just curious, why did you choose SMF as the software to run your community with?
If noone even complained about it until now, maybe those werent very popular features SMF webmasters used or whose quirks they adapted their workflow around.Antes did you know that the member search in 2.1's admin has been broken for 6 years and no one noticed? The filtering by groups doesn't work. Oh, and IP searching has been broken for two years since the big changes to all the IPv6 stuff, none of which have been properly tested.

That said, 2.1 is still beta. I doubt it would be left broken in the final release.
I'm 100% sure she'll help you gladly.
Hahahahahaha no. If I said it was dark outside, she'd find a way to disagree with me just because it's me saying it. Last time I spoke to her, she criticised me for reporting bugs. So I stopped reporting bugs and just carried on findin' and fixin' in my fork. She actually managed to put me off in a way you didn't!
I'll admit to being a bit of a fanboy but I'll try to stay objective.
Yes the admins are toxic, some stuff is overengineered while other stuff is laughably basic (I'm looking at you warning and ban systems) and yes it's a wee bit outdated and development is long...
But I like the BSD license and it has tons of really cool features...
(Conversational pms in free forum software from 2011? That's insane!)
They're just hidden due to poorly documented code and menus.
(Plus the themes are plain php and html. I can't be arsed to learn a wierd intermidiary language to basically just do the same thing)
or every few? It's confusing so I'll have to break out ol' Mr. Find in Files in Notepad++
Now it was a few years back and most info is on rickety archives and some people went back to SMF from wedge so I don't feel I have 100% understanding of events
I like how they re-organised things (except for language being a non theme setting... So long silly text changes,..
the new profile fields system though
I also liked languages being a theme setting so I could make silly text changes for that theme and that theme only
