Personally I think this should be included in the core of Mybb, like wordpress has it.

Sure thing, will do.

Nice one. Great work guys, keep it up!

This is an awesome plugin, great job guys!

Nice! Download Mode sir! Hope you can share more mods.

Good idea!

thanks!

do you try this plugin,maybe you can find older version and try update it from the plugin,to see how to works

Thank you for this plugin, Polarbear541 and Vernier!

I guess, if I use this plugin for upgrading, every code changes that might have been made before are gone?

What about renamed admin-folders? Any chance to integrate an according setting to the plugin?
