  7. Calendar
  8. Built-in Modification Package Installer

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Opinion:
    SMF is one of the best forum (bulletin board) scripts availible and it is free. The only down side to SMF is that it is relatively new and doesn't have the vast number of Mods availible that older scripts like phpBB have. Fortunately, the out of the box product has many features built in that other scripts require Mods for. I foresee SMF gaining high popularity in the near future.

I was reading the Tutorials and How To's forum and ran accross this execelent SMF tutorial by Trekkie101.

SMF - Asta Style!.

As far as I'm concerned, this is required reading prior to installing SMF on your website.
Trekkie101 probably has the most experience with this bulletin board system among the Astahost membership.

He really put a lot of work into this tutorial and I think it gets overlooked by being hidden away there in the Tutorials and How To's forum.

Have a look. cool.gif
