The site is based on a cobbled together combination of Wordpress and phpBB. Most of the members didn&#39;t even know there was anything other than a forum. The Wordpress side had been neglected content-wise. The phpBB side was just a question/answer type of operation, nothing to really keep members coming back for anything other than posting a question.<br />Another member, who had a huge presence on my former site adding a lot content outside of the forum, was wanting to be able to do that again. When this current site became available and a short conversation with that member I decided the best way forward was to move to Composr (for many of the reasons you stated in your post).<br />For me, Wordpress isn&#39;t an ideal full feature CMS. phpBB is ok as a stand alone forum, but limited in what it&#39;s able to provide for a whole site. I needed the site be able to have a single sign in for members to be able to access certain content based on permissions. In the past, ocPortal (Composr) was able to provide what I needed for a CMS, so it was my first choice this time around.<br />phpBB front end seems to be very user friendly. phpBB&#39;s back end (ACP) is a little haphazard. One of my biggest issue is permissions. There are 3 different tabs dealing with permission. Each tab has multiple choices down the side to click on. Too many places to make mistakes. A few weeks ago I was needing to adjust permissions for a new user group. I swear changing permissions on one thing changed it on something else in another place.<br />Another big issue is spam. I phpBB seems to be a huge spam magnet. It took about 3 weeks of making adjustments to get the spam under control.<br />Back in the ocPortal v8-9 days, I did 6+ months of research on spammers. Chris used the data I gathered to help improve spam detection in Composr.<br />I am a little hesitant about moving to Composr because of it&#39;s current state, but I know Chris turns out quality work so that makes it a little easier. I&#39;m hoping Chris will find a way to get v11 to a stable release state. I don&#39;t think Composr will see any migrations from other CMS&#39;s since the forum importers are outdated. I&#39;m currently working on a project (written in basic) to clean up phpBB posts that the outdated phpBB importer can&#39;t do. I&#39;ll do the cleaning up in phpBB&#39;s database then do the import.<br /> <img alt="permissions_1.png" src="https://nerdonthestreet.com/uploads/attachments/682ddce3b98db4.84553768.png" title="permissions_1.png" /> <img alt="permissions_2.png" src="https://nerdonthestreet.com/uploads/attachments/682ddcffcb9ce0.55073206.png" title="permissions_2.png" /> <img alt="permissions_3.png" src="https://nerdonthestreet.com/uploads/attachments/682ddd3576f045.79200174.png" title="permissions_3.png" /> <br /></comcode-quote><br />//// PUT YOUR REPORT BELOW \\\\<br /><br /> Add: Add: Font Size Color [Font] Arial Courier Georgia Impact Times Trebuchet Verdana Tahoma Geneva Helvetica [Size] 0.8 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 4 [Color] Black Blue Gray Green Orange Purple Red White Yellow This is a reported post for a post in the topic [post param="GeSHI and Composr 10"]1000[/post], by sholzy [quote="693"] This current site is a small community for a basic programming language.
