Just came across SMF. How is it useful?
Before going through manuals I just want to know if it really helps.

Hello andrew.machado2009 and welcome to smf community...

Simple Machines Forum — SMF in short — is a free, professional grade software package that allows you to set up your own online community within minutes.

Its powerful custom made template engine puts you in full control of the lay-out of your message board and with our unique SSI - or Server Side Includes - function you can let your forum and your website interact with each other.

SMF is written in the popular language PHP and uses a MySQL database. It is designed to provide you with all the features you need from a bulletin board while having an absolute minimal impact on the resources of the server. SMF is the next generation of forum software - and best of all it is and will always remain completely free!

This is one of the best forums softwares, and i really suggest it...
You could also read Docs for more info...

If you need any help you could post it to Support boards...
If you need support in a language other than English, check out Language Specific Support section.
