So, I wrote some code to fix the #237 Mybb 1.8 bug. I had cloned the mybb/mybb repository locally using giteye. Fixed the code. Then I went, and committed with a comment saying "Fixes #237 - message here" Then I did the push. I was hoping this would create some sort of pull request on the github side connecting it to the bug and letting the developers know they could pull in the fix if they liked it. Unfortunately, this failed.

What would be the correct way to submit my patch?

You have to fork the repository and commit your code to your fork, then create the pull request manually. Only MyBB developers can work directly off the mybb/mybb repo. Smile

EDIT: Nevermind if you saw my question in this post. I figured it out. I had to create a pull request, and switch the base. I got it updated.
