MyBB Community Forums

Hi all..

I'm not sure if this is an appropriate question to ask here but here goes...

I want to set up a forum for a small society (< 100 members) and am thinking of using MyBB. I installed a test system (v1.6) and have added a few forums. All looks good except that I have had two problems (both fixed - the info here is great and the support looks good.)

The first was that the admin account got downgraded to moderator when I was trying to change the email address. The second was that emails were going out without text (looked like a corrupted British English language pack, I swapped to US English and it's OK).

These could just be teething problems brought on byfinger trouble due my inexperience but I worry that they might be symptomatic of underlying lack of robustness.

Can people reassure me that I'm not likely to be plagued with such problems in a production system?????

Both of those issues seem to be down to human error (I'm not sure how the first occurred but it would require you to select a different usergroup for the user, and the second would be due to using a language pack which hasn't been updated to the most recent version). MyBB is used on forums ranging from a few thousand posts to a few million. The largest MyBB forum had over 30+ million posts and nearly 2 million registered accounts.

MyBB is in constant development and has been around for a decade. It may not be the most robust piece of software but it's fully suitable for anyone to use.
