I was just wondering whether it would be possible to make a vanilla styled forum for mybb. It's really great that mybb seems to have the best theme all over the internet and I love flexibility.

So basically a single forum layout?

Well there may be an option to see all the threads on the site.
But what I 'm thinking is the default forum layout view and postbits rearranged to look like a vanilla forum. ie forums/categories by the right/left, topics in each forum/category listed like in vanilla forums, and being able to easily create a thread or perform common functions from the sidebars without being taken to a new page.

Thats sounds pretty complex using just what MyBB has. I really would suggest hiring someone just so its done properly.

That would be a whole different plugin if it is possible, which I am not sure.

You could do it template wise me thinks. Just would be really hard to do right.

Maybe I will be forced to do it myself (even though I am not a web programmer), I think I can learn what it will take.(2011-02-04, 01:55 AM)Matt G Wrote: [ -> ]Quote:and being able to easily create a thread or perform common functions from the sidebars without being taken to a new page.

So, if anyone has suggestions on what steps I should take, I'd love that. I'm currently a c-sharp programmer.

Well in theory you could do it using a form, pending the MyBB parser would allow it. (It'd be basically moving where the quick reply is.
You could do it in a plugin. The rest would just be CSS and HTML.
