Ev, I was wondering what your reasoning was behind choosing SMF over say PHPbb or any other?  I just installed phpBB on one of my webs and I was considering SMF for my other one. 

also, I found an error in your directory.  I tried to rate a website and when it went to the next page, where it says Rating: and then there was a text input box with the word "error" in it or "rating error" I dont remember.

also, i noticed that you don't link from your directory to your home page?  is that correct?  you're not passing that PR through to your home page?

No real reason for choosing SMF.  I saw it on a friend's site and it seemed to do what I wanted.

The directory rating think has never worked.  One day I'll get around to working out why.  I do link to the blog - there's a link in the nav at the top

(After IPB became paid-only, I thought SMF was the best option, and in terms of functionality it probably is. But I've started using MyBboard and really like the forum, so would recommend that people consider this as well! )

Is SMF free?

SMF is free

I used PHPBB3 before and believe that its the best free forum, I never heard of SMF until now just checked out the site and it looks as if it hardly has any mods or themes, I recommend you change to PHPBB3 which has thousands of mods and themes or buy vBulletin which is awesome but you have to pay only bad thing about it.
