[HOW TO]: Know the real username of a user in SMF(Simple machine Forum)real username
SMF is a PHP based forum(Community board) which has been used widely. I am going to teach you how to get the real username of a user or many users. First go and register in a SMF forum. Then goto the profile page of the user of whom the username you want to know. After that click on “PM(Private Message)” and then in the “To:” section you get the real username of the certain user.
You can also get the username of different users at once by “Composing” the new message and then “Click find user” and find the user by the current fake name and you get the real name of the user. By this you can get the real username of a person on the Forum that you wanted.
This trick may work at other free PHP discussion board like phpbb, vBulletine and more.
Please forgive me for my poor english.

hi there friends. I’m really into website building and I have been looking allowing for regarding that exact forum software for a forum I wish to launch shortly. The prices for the vBulletin looks good. But for that amount, I can pay for a good host. I will probably use SMF. what is your opinion?
