I got started with SMF through YaBB SE, which I discovered after visiting the website for a band whose CD I had just purchased. I liked YaBB SE because it was different - it had more fun bbcode options than phpBB and it wasn't something that everyone else was using (at the time there were only a handful of forum systems out there - phpBB was the big one of course, then YaBB SE and IPB. On the premium side of things there was vBulletin and UBB/UBB.Threads but vB was the only popular one). I eventually set up a forum on boardnation so I could play around with YaBB SE. Eventually I decided to set up my own site because of the limitations of boardnation (free hosted forum - limits as to what modifications you could install and such), so I set up a fan site for a band I liked (not the same one that introduced me to YaBB SE). I followed the development of YaBB SE and was one of the ones who migrated to SMF when it became available. I've stuck with SMF all this time because I like the price, the community and the features.

There are still a bunch of open issues for 2.1 on GitHub but I have no idea if anything else is planned for 2.1.5 or not. I wish I knew what was taking so long at this point.

Thanks, I did see this. There are a few others on the SMF mod site, but none are marked for 2.1.4 - depending on how my site does, I might take a closer look this one.

I do use the menu mod from SMFPacks.

If you play any older games I wouldn't update to the nvidia 50 range.
They have disabled 32bit physx older games run very badly on the new 5080.

Back to the topic at habd - any 2.1.x progress anyone knows of?

I have zero need to update but I thought I'd do the maths on a new build (not including GPU as my 3090 does what I want).
AUD $3,300.    So that's a nope.

Mine's OK 

Using the default settings in Brave

Just had a quick look and I can't see anything Chris

I don't know if there's a live preview yet, but you can follow the progress on the new theme here: https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF/pull/7933
