Hi, Is a good idea to protect with .htaccess the Admin folder?

Thanks.

The admin panel is already very safe however if you really want to add that extra bit of security then i suppose it wouldn't hurt. Another good idea is to rename your admin directory, there is a guide to doing this in the WIKI. Also have a look at this blog post on securing your mybb isntall http://blog.mybboard.net/2008/02/06/secu...tallation/

FYI: Renaming the admin is very easy.
