when you manage many MyBB sites or have separate test sites - you are on risk of mixing up sites in Admin CP - there is no information about site you manage in this screen except url in browser.
I suggest to make small change, which should reduce this risk.
in admin/inc/class_page.php find and replace line
echo " <div id=\"logo\"><h1><span class=\"invisible\">{$lang->mybb_admin_cp}</span></h1></div>\n";
with
echo " <div id=\"logo\"><h1><span style=\"float:right\">{$mybb->settings['bbname']}<br />{$mybb->settings['bburl']}</span></h1></div>\n";
then you'll see your AdminCP like this:
[
attachment=24639]
Will be nice if it included in next versions.
Can't you just look in the browser URL bar? That's what it's there for.
yes I can, and I always do that. but this disturbing me.
if it so easy to look in browser url bar, why MyBB shows the Board Name on every non-AdminCP page ?
Its a good tip. I was just copying template/theme data amongst two sites and its more comforting to have something simple to distinguish quickly between the two.
I would think that the ACP should show the default theme's logo of the site its connected to rather than the generic MyBB one. However, when working with a test site, that does not always help.
From a member's point of view and an administrator's point of view, they represent two different things.
If you're case you might find this useful but most users only manage one site.
Frankly I would find a big notice like that highly annoying. There are other ways you can identify each site such as a favicon. You don't even have to check each tab to see which site is which with that.
May I ask what size monitor and at what resolution you are using Malcolm?
i am on a 24" WXUGA at 1900x1220 so its a lot of extra eye movement to keep going back and forth to review a favicon.
its not so bad when I am on another monitor, but the big one where I do most of my work, it does make a difference

just replace h1 tag to something less annoying.
there is many ways to identify site which you manage right now, and everyone use what he/she likes. I share what I like.
I'm on a 19" AOC Intl at 1440x900. I work at quite a rapid pace so usually I just skim over the tabs. It's not a big issue for me.
However I do think having the board name and url stamped across the admin cp is over kill. If you have a long url/board name then it will generally be more annoying then useful.
I think that the board name prefixed before the page title would be the best solution.
