    I'll set one up as soon as the files have finished uploading. :)

    If you're going to set up a copy to start learning it, I would recommend starting with MyBB 1.4.x right now, as 1.6 is still in development ;)

    Please remember that MyBB 1.6 is still in development, in a pre-beta stage.

    The forum I set up is for novelty purposes only. Do not look for bugs at this point (as there is no way to report them); instead, explore some of the new features. :) I'll try my best to keep it up to date with the latest revisions, but I can't guarantee anything. Also, I have disabled a few things in the Admin CP (database backups, PHP info, etc.) for security purposes. Finally, I have used a script to load in some fake users, threads, and posts to fill up the forum a bit - you are free to post your own threads and posts.

    There are three accounts:
    demouser, demomod, and demoadmin

    The password for all three of these accounts is:
    demodemoDEMO

    Enjoy!

    Just tried it for a minute or two and seems pretty good :)

    I haven't tried to use MyBB in the past, but I'm going to have to look at it a little closer now ;)

    Thanks for setting up the demo site Justin! :D

    Justin,

    Thanks for setting this up. I've used MyBB as non-admin and it's quite appealing. I have to reiterate what Peggy said above. :D

    Justin,

    I logged into the ACP, how comes it says v1.4?

    The version number is always the last thing changed before release. If you look around the ACP, though, you'll find a number of things (thread prefixes, updated forum permissions management, multi-user actions, statistic graphs, etc.) that aren't present in MyBB 1.4.x. :)

    I am definitely glad to have switched to myBB from SMF.Gosh It is for me so much nicer to work with.

    :D

    I would think that 1.6 would be available by late next year.Since there would be a lot of bugs and such to fix first.I assume myBB group already has a beta tester group ready to tackle the early stages of beta testing.Will there be any running report on it?

    Cheers for myBB!

    I've reinstalled the test forum located at http://bellomandesign.com/mybb/ to use the latest 1.6 revision. The three accounts remain (demouser, demomod, demoadmin) with the same password (demodemoDEMO).

    I did not import fake users and posts this time; however, I have imported some fake statistics (actually, RCTgo's statistics) so the new Statistics page in the ACP can be properly demonstrated. I won't say much, but log into the Admin CP, navigate to Tools & Maintenance, and click on Statistics. It's a very nice new page.

    Enjoy. :)

    ohh I love the browse themes tab :O (yei! I'm there! I think I'm gonna update that theme so it gives something better for beign the first page). Ohh drag+click :D I like the idea! I'll suggest something on the tracker (even though it's probably not gonna be made on this version :P).

    Thanks Justin!

    Now that MyBB 1.6 is feature-complete, I've reinstalled the forum again. :)

    It has the same users (demouser, demomod, demoadmin with password demodemoDEMO) and I have also imported RCTgo's statistics. As before, you can access it here: http://www.bellomandesign.com/mybb/

    I just took a look-thru the adminCP, especially the Styles area. Could you please refresh my memory as to why this script is still free?

    I really like MyBB. Styling looks like it would be very easy. The .css' are grouped exactly the way I had thought (hoped) vB's would be.

    Very good job Justin.

    Perhaps MyBB is where your styling future lies? ;)

    Could be. I also have another script that I'll be looking at in a few months.

    I know I love the styling of it. It's one of the easiest I've seen.

    Thank Ryan Gordon for the theme system in 1.4, as he wrote it. And it is really, really nice... I certainly love it. :D
