Topic: SimplePortal vs TinyPortal - Which do you PREFER?

[Douggy]

In your own personal opinion/preference, which do you like better?

SimplePortal or TinyPortal?

[Firesphere]

So far, running beta4 of TinyPortal, I gotta say, I'm pretty happy with it!

[Reflection]

Simple Portal.

[babjusi]

TinyPortal.

[Eliana Tamerin]

Better question is: why?

But keep it civil, if it gets out of hand this topic will likely be locked.

[Firesphere]

Well, best thing, a feature-overview, but I can't seem to find a feature-overview of SimplePortal...
and the TinyPortal's feature-overview is well... erm... tiny.

I don't know, I like TinyPortal, that's it for me, as long as it works and does what I want, you won't hear me complain.

[Eliana Tamerin]

Feature overview, like this?

Didn't want to post TP's, as I wasn't sure which one best promotes their features.

[Antechinus]

I prefer Tiny Portal myself if we're talking about 1.1.x. For SMF 2.0 there is no available TP yet so that puts it out of the running.

[Blinker]

SimplePortal. I've tried both and that's my choice. It's, well, ummm...simpler.

BTW why is this in the Support forum? It's a discussion topic.

[Antechinus]

Good point. Moving to Chit chat in 3, 2, 1....................

Tiny Portal.
Somehow it seemed more handy, to me, I think. Its file repository is nice (though I don't use it, but this doesn't change the fact that it's nice. *nods dumbly*)

Though since it's not available for 2.0 I've started using Simple Portal out of commodity and I like it. It does what it says and it doesn't stand in your way. Exactly what one would ask from a piece of good software, I guess.

Simple Portal

Why?

Friendly team and friendly support

Website and Forum for FULL support

Is easy to use.

I'm on the dev team for ComplicatedPortal.

Because 90% of forum admins are the 'fix it and forget it' type. They want something they can set up without consulting a manual, and something that will work 100% of the time. Yet they also want powerful features. This is something that devs have to balance, making a powerful system that's easy to administrate. It can go overboard, though. It can be like creating an iPhone, with huge power but oversimplified systems (just an opinion) versus a Windows Mobile phone with huge power but complicated systems (yet another opinion). Something needs to be in the middle with huge power by simple systems that take advantage of it.

LOL. That made my day. Seriously.

I added a poll cause I'm awesome .


I like SP better, I've used TP, and it was my first portal, but SP seems faster and easier for me. I love the features (especially the way articles work) and I've found it really simple to use.

I work on SP's strings too (I'm Language Coordinator), so I'd hope I preferred it .
For the record, that's not why I prefer it, I honestly came to SP because I liked it, and THEN was put on the team
