"Powered By MyBB" question?

1. Manually but they're very easy. Plugins, upload some files, activate, themes, upload some images, import an XML file. Once you know where everything goes it's a 2 minute job.

2. The merge system, info on the downloads page and Wiki. Note that only SMF 1.1 is officially supported by it as SMF 2.0 is still in RC I believe, but there is an unofficial 2.0 converter which seems to work very well.

3. 1.4 as that's the current release, 1.6 is still in beta, but very near release. Personally speaking I'd convert to 1.4 and then upgrade to 1.6 rather than converting to 1.6, until all the kinks in the 1.6 merger are found and fixed, if there are any.

4. Yes, and there's a setting (global and per-user) to put it back to classic (down the left).

5. I believe there is somewhere yes.
