Is there any way in which a windows application could post private messages into MyBB

We have an application and intend to use MyBB as a support forum.

The application needs to notify certain users of specific events from time to time.

Does anyone know if there is a way this can be done.
Yes it's possible. You could write a special API for MyBB and the windows program.
Or simply access the database directly...

Would be quite easy to create a client application doing this, if you have a static IP or a shell access!
Zack Magee did it already if i remember.

InstallMyBB? Nope, that only installs MyBB. That is, if that's what you mean.

No that wasn't it. It was before that.

API would be more secure in most cases.
