This is an easy solution, but I don´t realize it´s related with mybb side (Prototype)...

if you don´t use this trick your popup (smilies) and Editor won´t work at all

Uhm..What's the point of this?

[aglioeolio]

What´s the point of "prototype" in mybb?
exactly the same I think...

but jquery from google is lightweight

The point is because it makes all of the requests - using quick reply, editing a post, etc. - easier. And Prototype is lightweight too, you just need to get the minified version of it.

LOL, I don´t wanna start flamming or something like Windows x Linux, Manchester x Liverpool,etc - it´s just a quick tip nothing else

don´t bother if you don´t mind

Prototype is a heavyweight compared to jQuery - everyone with a well informed opinion knows that. When 1.4 was developed, jQuery was just starting as a library, and Prototype was the most popular back then. That is why it's developed with it (or at least, that's what I remember people saying!).

Why not just include the jQuery library after the Prototype library, and use

jQuery.noConflict();

You can then use jQuery as a command ( jQuery("#target").attr("title"); ). This is probably the preferred way, especially if you're using Prototype and developing something that is cross-platform.

Precisely. You really don't need a long work around, just use the noconflict and it works fine with MyBB.

Is there any thought to changing out to just using jQuery in future releases?
