*Sigh* Why on earth is this crap still being used! So I went ahead and tried to make a site using PHP Fusion and boy was I disappointed! It simply didn’t work for me. There is too much that needs to be done which defeats the purpose of using a cms. If I had to pin point something specific that I hate the most about this platform, I would have to say EVERYTHING!

Php-fusion is one of worst CMS i know. It has a lot of exploits and hacks. And people who have them are often anoied because of safety isues. On the other hand the support community and multilingual support are very good. Installation is easy and it’s a bit seo friendly. But after considering all security and safety isues i could say that Php-fusion is only for amateur websites and webmasters.

I recently installed fusion on one of my subdomains cause I heard some really nice thing about it. But I was really disappointed. I sticked with it because I was too lazy to install something else but it’s way more weak than other CMS like MkPortal or Dragonfly.
It’s good thing that the fusions are easy to install but when it comes to organizing it sucks big time. It has absolutely no support for sub-categories.
To me, it was a huge disappointment. How about for you? Has someone else used it too?

Well, I’ve tried phpfusion before, when I was just starting out. But when I tried Wordpress, I felt that it was way better than phpfusion and so I stopped using phpfusion. Still, phpfusion is not a bad choice for a CMS, you should probably try it out to see if you like it.
