SMF Feature Wish List for SMF

Shawn Gossman · Sep 24, 2025

What is YOUR wish list for new features on upcoming SMF updates?

What features would make this free forum platform a lot better and why?

I don't have a wish list for SMF. It's been like 10-15 years since I last used the software, lol.

But I think they were one of the latest ones to update their software (free platform-wise) to actually be responsive to mobile devices.

I don't know if I'd ever seriously use SMF again, but I'm interested in what people would want to see from them to entertain the idea of using that platform.

I'd never use SMF personally, but they need to step away from the traditional forum design to become a big player again.

The first AAF was started with Simple Machines Forum if you can believe it! It looked good, too!

Back then, it was "modern" but now it's not. If they could look more like MyBB, they would be a decent software as far as design went.

Wow, you had impressive stats! I know I'm always saying it, but even though SMF feels ancient compared to other software, I still prefer it to other software for its ease of use. Wish I could find the stupid quick reply though lol.

If I couldn't use premium, I'd choose SMF any day of the week!

You just have to get the write theme to make it look more modern.

The default theme is definitely not modern, LOL.
