I just wanted to drop by and say how awesome I think PortaMx is. I been using smf since 2006 (i think) when it was in the rc versions along with a popular smf portal system. Over the years I tried quite a few different portal systems for smf which never seemed to match up against the more popular one. I been playing around with PortaMx on my 2.0.4 test site before I switch over from the 1.1x versions and I have to say I am totally impressed.

I'm not going to say anything bad against the other popular portal system as it is nice software and I been using it happily. But I am going to say here is one that can finally rival it and give smf users another great alternative choice.

In my opinion PortaMx has a nicer and faster layout to set your options, it is simply a breeze. Although at first impression the simplicity might throw you off thinking it may be lacking in features but this is definitely not the case! It's lacking nothing and has some other nice features not include in the other, such as the css block options. (Which totally rocks!). You can actually make the blocks look the way you want.

I could keep raving on how great I think it is but I don't want to make this post too long and bore people with it when the people who already use it know how great and powerful it is already. So I'll end it here. Just wanted to put my 2 cents in and say I hope you continue on with this project and everyone who can should donate! To ensure its continuing success! (I'll be making mine  )

Thank you .. and of course .. this portal will be developed continue, that is a fact

I was looking for a decent Forum - CMS to replace my e107 installation.
After a lot of searching and testing I had two finalists. phpbb3 and SMF. So I installed both and started the search for a good portal.
- In the case of phpbb3 I ended up with something I had to hack 12 files for (do I live in 1999?) in order to get it running.
- After installing SMF I noticed a link in the Admin panel with "install portamx"
A few minutes later I had a portal up and running. Without even using FTP!

PortaMX proves how website software supposed to work in 2008.
Hope you guys conquer portal world.
Thanks!
