To make it a little simpler for first time users, should MyBB create a webinstall?
Imho, i don't like anything that controls your board. But i know many new users would like this.
Nah. MyBB is easy to upload.

They can post on this forum for support that what this forum is for.
NOOOOOOOOOOO. BAD T0M. How dare you suggest copying SMF? SMF = evil.
* Dom W slaps T0m around a bit with a large trout.

XD

MyBB is easy to install anyway :p
yeah, like SMF did.
I dont want screw my FTP password to Webinstall Smile
Alot of newbs think this is needed. And since i don't think the team is getting anywhere with any big script installers (or if they tried even), this could be a good alternitive for easy install until then.
Maybe have a php script they upload, and it will copy files from a remote server to the local server, then chmod, and then go to the current install page.
If you can't use an FTP, you can just upload the zip package to your server through your host's file manager, unzip it, then move it to the directory you want it to be in.
Cpanel always fails undo a zipped file or tarballs. I get like half and thats it.
