MyBB Community Forums

That is all I can say.

At first I was skeptical about using MyBB instead of more known forum softwares such as SMF, phpBB, or vBulletin (since we had a vB Leased License) but the other Admin convinced me to try MyBB. So, I agreed and we installed it today, and I must say, after only one day of use, it is already making its way up to the top of my list in forum softwares!

So far I have only really used it as another member would use it, but from a member's perspective, it is VERY easy to use.

From an Administrator's perspective though, it is easy to use also. The forum management works GREAT incorporating the best features from multiple different forum softwares into one. Same goes for thread moderation, the best features from other forum softwares are packed into MyBB.

The themes are great and abundant, I was able to find a professional theme for my site within 5 minutes of searching, VERY pleasing to me.

All and all, I just want to say, congratulations on making such a great forum software! I don't say this about most forum softwares this early (if at all )

Yeah... MyBB pwns.

'Nuff said.

If more people would give it a chance I think more people would agree with you, but too many people won't even try it, so sadly, they are missing out.

Thanks for the kind comments!

The next version of MyBB (1.4) has a completely new Admin Control Panel which is much much more powerful, so stick with MyBB and you will be rewarded

I can't wait for it, Dr. Poodle. Will the Admin CP have tabs, kinda like phpBB 3? Or are you not allowed to reveal any of 1.4's secrets?

Sorry, my lips are sealed! You are all going to have to wait

Personally, I hate the tabs. It means that to do anything, you have to click two links.
vBulletin's "expand" feature is nice though.

Well as long as it remains as easy to use with the same great features, I'm sticking with MyBB for all of my forums!

And just a suggestions, if you are making a major change like redoing the ACP, wouldn't that be considered a 2.0?

Actually, it was already posted elsewhere (by chris) that the ACP will feature tabs

We originally were going to go for a 2.0, but things shifted around and ideas got thrown about and we ended back up on 1.4

Tabs? Hmmm sounds interesting
