SMF 2.0 Beta 3 released!

[Smith6612]

For anyone who is looking for the SMF Beta 3, the SMF developers have released SMF 2.0 Beta 3 as of the last hour. I'll be putting it up on my home server, and if it is impressive, I'll post a link to my server for you guys to check it out, or I'll record a video of everything in it.

It can be downloaded at www.simplemachines.org

NOTICE: IF YOU WISH TO USE THIS VERSION OF SMF, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU DO A FULL BACKUP OF YOUR SITE DATA AND DATABASES BEFORE INSTALLING/UPGRADING. SMF 2.0 STILL CONTAINS BUGS THAT ARE BEING WORKED OUT AND YOU MAY LOSE SOME OF YOUR DATABASE DATA BECAUSE OF THIS ROLL-UP. TAKE THE BACKUPS VIA cPanel AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE READABLE.

It's pretty much feature packed compared to SMF 1.1.4. I'm running it on my home server as well. Not noticing much of a performance increase, but some of the features are looking very useful, and hey, it means less mods for me to have to deal with!

yep, i love the new security features being able to change the captcha difficulty and adding security questions,

It seems the same except for the drop down menus in the ACP.

Did you take a look around? There is some new things like an Infraction system, and a built-in Search Engine recognition system, and some more.

Great, I can start work on my site now. It's going to be built entirely around SMF 2.0!

It looks pretty good, I' still going to stick with SMF 1.14 until the themes and mods have been changed, and there is a stable release of SMF 2. Which could take a while.

Yeah, this is great!

I almost had a heart attack when I saw the news on the simplemachines forum.

Is smf much different from phpbb?

What about mods? are they alredy in it or ae they easy to install.

I'm having sooooo much trouble with mods in phpBB3 and I can't seem to get the fully modded phpBB2 installed (install won't even start) that I may switch to this if it easier.
