MyBB Community Forums

How about an "Optimizing and Securing MyBB" forum?

Topics would include security, mysql changes, and other custom alterations for sites.

I think this is something a lot of the community could benefit from. Although those posts could be placed in the tutorial section, due to the nature of the topics, it should have it's own section.

I agree, because there is no proper section, and alot of people try to get these out of Tut threads. Labrocca, i assume you would be one of the main posters? Being the super admin on HF that you are.

+1 Vote. I <3 security discussions.

Yeah...I posted this tut just now:

I guess that's fine to go there but it just doesn't seem like a fitting category.

Quote:This forum contains a selection of member posted tutorials covering a variety of different topics and areas in MyBB as well as server and file management.

The description is fitting but maybe they can alter the actual forum title. Seems somewhat misleading imho. It's under "MyBB Resources" which is good but a renaming to "Security, Server and Site Optimization Tutorials" would be more fitting.

Most of the tuts in the area are plugin or template related.

Not to mention a place where users can discuss security and performance will benefit everybody more than a place strictly dedicated to tutorials.

I agree, but make a strict no, "Can you do this for me" Rule.

Maybe SEO can also be added.

Security, Server, SEO and Site Optimizations

Here's a copy and paste of a similar category on another forum I frequent often:

Quote:Technical & Security Issues
Configuring and optimizing web hosting servers and operating systems, developing administration scripts, building servers, protecting against hackers, and general security (SSL certificates, etc.)

Something like that maybe?

Speaking of SSL. I wonder how MyBB does with allowing SSL for logins and the admincp. I would be very interesting in having that feature.
