I am familiar with SMF forums and features and their great community. phpBB3 history (for me, so please no flaming) has proven not to be as secure when reading about the vulnerabilities.

That is your opinion and respected. This post is not intended for ?his is better than mine? discussion honestly. I switched for my personal issues including money factors, slow speeds, and for the lack of support if you have modifications installed. I did have an owned license but was not going to continue to pay $30 every year after paying $160 for the initial license just to stay current. My comments and opinions are stated above. vB is a great PAID forum software. My new forum software is FREE and I am quite happy with it and it is almost exactly modified the way my other was but quicker load times.
I was hoping that some old friends would post and see me off rather than a discussion of which is better.
Again, thank you all for allowing me to use your free modifications with my former vB software.
