What you can build
Simple Machines Forum organizes a community into boards, topics and member accounts. It suits groups that value a conventional discussion-board structure with moderation tools and a durable archive of replies.
Technical planning
Plan spam prevention, attachment limits and outbound mail, and test themes and modifications before applying forum updates.
Open the official documentation
Confirm the application release, PHP extensions, database, scheduled tasks and access your project needs. Application editions, licenses and extensions are separate from hosting.
Before you launch
Invite a member and test posting, moderation and account recovery.
Invite a small group to register, post, report content and recover an account. Test moderator permissions and email notifications. For federation, also test how remote accounts and content appear to your local community.
Compare communities & conversation
Upload volume, simultaneous connections, search, notification delivery and moderation workflow can matter as much as registered users. Test registration and account recovery before launch.
Confirm your Simple Machines Forum release and deployment requirements with the team before setup. The hosting option on this page is a starting point; installer availability, compatibility and installation support depend on the application and plan.
