LainaaMods There are no mods installed in my Forum. No mod no Tensions
You know, I find I agree! That's always been one of my main objections to installing bridges or portals. Not only do mods occasionally create theme difficulties, but I hear people
desperate to update their SMF mod blog/portal/whatever to the next SMF, but they can't upgrade SMF without a compatible xyz mod... and I'm left there wondering why bother? SMF is so flexible, and so powerful, there are work-arounds.
Need a blog page? Gosh, have a news forum / board. Members can just click "Notify" and they'll even get an email without having to RSS the thing.
Need a nice big button on the main menu with "About us"? Add it, and link it to a nice long article post. Want a sort of home page, or index of all the major "Articles" discussed on the site, instead of a portal? Easy, add a "Our mission statement" button and link it to a summary post, and just update that post.
KISS, Keep It Simple + Stupid.
IF people desperately need a blog as well, then just install wordpress and keep SMF as the homepage/forum subdirectory. Gosh, for all the time that's saved I think there are wordpress plug-ins for "latest articles" to come up from SMF. If not, just link to them manually. Save time. Stay flexible. Enjoy.
