SMF Forum

It’s been years since I’ve started using SMF forum for my websites and I am so happy to use because its:

1. FREE!
2. Easy to install
3. Simple to operate
4. Tons of features

There are four basic steps to have a SMF forum get going;

1. Download the files
2. Transfer it to your host
3. Install it
4. Open your browser and see how nice it looks!

First go to Simplemachines.org and find the package you want to download. Then of course download the files which will come in a ZIP format, once you downloaded the files extract it to get it out of ZIP format. After this step transfered it using FTP to the directory you want to install it, many people use directories like: www.web-address.com/forum or www.forum.webaddress.com

After the files are done transfering, all you have to do is go to the URL of the directory you uploaded the files to. A installation page will come up, follow the steps and install your own forum.

After the installation is complete, go to your forum address and watch it beautify you with its great features!
