hi guys i was thinking to start this so i did.I will not ask you how to install mybb.
But what are the necessary steps to make your forum better
1.Like what kind of plugins you use in your forum.
2.About sittings.
3.About Theme.
4.About Seo suggestions.
I only create this thread to help beginners i also learning from my own mistakes now i know a bit about mybb for example if there are 4 level about learning mybb i am at level 2.
I know how to create and design themes.but i cannot create plugins yet.
What programming language i need to learn to create mybb plugins.Sorry if you find it weird
1. The ones you need. One admin may want a shoutbox, another not, etc. The only must-have are 2-3 antispam plugins, in my opinion:
http://community.mybb.com/thread-110224.html and maybe Google SEO.
2. Settings you mean? As above, they depend on your forum. Also hosting may play a role and force you to turn off a feature or lower down a value.
3. Again as above, find/make a theme that suits your needs or hire a designer to create it for you. You and your users need to feel comfortable on it. We can't decide for you.
4. Use Google SEO.
To create plugins you need to learn PHP for server-side and Javascript for client-side.

thanks for reply and your suggestions i hope this information will be helpful for someone
still waiting for more suggestions from other member
Suggest about any thing that might helpful for someone
1. Honestly plug ins are helpful but try to limit to what ones you use, check if they have been listed as being vulnerable. More you have, the more you leave yourself open to attack. There are some great plug ins all around. You can see a nice list on these couple sites:
For security plug ins I'd suggest:
http://www.mybbsecurity.net/
For general plug ins:
http://mods.mybb.com/
Paid plug ins:
http://www.mybbcentral.com/
Free and paid plug ins:
http://yaldaram.com/index.php
http://forums.mybb-plugins.com/
It also depends what forum you have, and all that and try to make plug ins work with your site to make it better. If you can do it without a plug in, try that. It's also great practice for coding as well when you need to follow tutorials and edit core files.
2. Settings is something you will need to play with on your own, there are tutorials and guides around this site and the internet in which you can use settings to help your forum stop spammers or even enhance your security.
3. I HIGHLY suggest getting a PAID theme created by a professional designer. If you plan on going anywhere with a forum. There are a few designers I can suggest to you.
http://www.audentio.com/
http://demonate.com/
http://myskins.org/
If you want a free theme you can choose one on the MyBB site as well but always leave credits to the designer even when editing a theme to your liking. Yes, do edit it too, or people will act poorly to your site since you did nothing really to it except use someone else's design.
4. Use Google SEO plug in, it helps pretty well.

5. Creating plug ins.. well you got your answer above. It takes a lot of practice and there ARE tutorials on them.
