Personally I think this should be included in the core of Mybb, like wordpress has it.

Sure thing, will do.

Thank you for this plugin, Polarbear541 and Vernier!

I guess, if I use this plugin for upgrading, every code changes that might have been made before are gone?

What about renamed admin-folders? Any chance to integrate an according setting to the plugin?
