The MyBB Humanization Project

[Greg Winston]

Well, from what I can see 1.8 is the same as 1.6 (I am talking about what you see, not what you don't see ).
Let's hope 2.0 will be better and will improve the (new) user experience.

I don't know how 2.0 will be 'better' with an improved new experience.

Apart from AJAX notifications (new reply to a thread, new PM, etc)threaded PM conversations, profile comments, I don't know what else MyBB is missing.

MyBB still needs to remain as forum software. What Brad-T did is great for niche forums that don't need the old forum feel to it, but on the other hand there are thousands of forums out there that need the older 'look and feel' to them.

If you don't like the way MyBB looks, design a theme yourself like Brad-T did It's fun and very rewarding.
