DennisTT and rh1n0 decided it would be fun to see exactly how many sub forums can be nested.

    Animus (February 17th, 2008, 9:07 am)

    Im rly worried bout the themes resp. the compatibility of the themes we’re using now, according to the (opt) vertical design there must be major template-changes, no?

    Oops, sorry forgot to ask on my previous comment, but,

    On the “condensed footer area on the index page” I noticed “Today’s Birthdays” is gone. Where is this going to be located?

    Thanks

    crsoft (February 17th, 2008, 10:07 am)

    @DCR maybe it only shows when there are Birthdays?? maybe wrong but any ways.

    @Sebastian: It has been stated that there will be a moderator control panel in 1.4 - yes.

    YottabyteWizard (February 17th, 2008, 7:01 pm)

    Awesome!… I prefer the old 1.2 style of reputation instead of the warning system… but oh well, i hope there is a mod for this….

    Anyways, everything is just sweeet !! Good job!! Make me a beta tester!! I want it now!! -j/k-

  22. 22.

    Staff Response: Chris Boulton (February 17th, 2008, 7:29 pm)

    Hi YottabyteWizard,

    The reputation system in 1.2 is still in 1.4, however the warning system is a completely new feature that can be used by staff only to warn users up to certain levels before action is automatically taken (posting permissions suspended, account banned, etc)

  23. 23.

    Kikkerking (February 17th, 2008, 7:35 pm)

    Very very neat. :D

  24. 24.

    Faisal Shah (February 17th, 2008, 7:39 pm)

    Well, According to me. MyBB 1.4 is a good release. After all it’s the result of year’s effort. SO it must be special ;)

    How ever, I will use the Hoteditor for editing/Posting the text. But i like this because it will be more Secure.

    So best of luck to Tikitiki and all other developers and Staff for their
    release ;)

    FAISAL SHAH!

    it look like cool i think. thx to everyone.

    (P.S.: DennisTT i like your signature. “Weeeeee a beta! Time to break things!” it pretty cool too. lets break :D )

    Paretje (February 17th, 2008, 10:39 pm)

    Good work!
    I was happy to read that the vertical style optional is, I like the horizontal style, but it’s a good option ;)

    Ow, and I see that there is more hierarchy in the UserCP and a lot more icons, the hierarchy is absolutely a good thing!

    Incredible….

    Can I also suggest a Photo Gallery gets added, that can tie into the user profile? This would make MyBB over the top.

    Thanks! :)

  33. 33.

    Rovin (February 18th, 2008, 8:10 am)

    I love this! I practiclly crossed through every free forum software to get to phpBB and eventually here. Great work!

    When is it released? Soon?

  34. 34.

    mimic (February 18th, 2008, 12:08 pm)

    no,no I don’t like the new look in post style at all it’s like phpbb/vb it has limit on postbit option too.

    I like the old one lot of better.

  35. 35.

    crsoft (February 18th, 2008, 12:42 pm)

    @mimic if you read the post it say “The new (optional) vertical style post layout.” see the word optional.

    amin (February 19th, 2008, 8:03 am)

    i’d like to know , is there any difference between 1.4 and 1.2 in quick replay?
    and another question is it possible that i use mootools and jquery in new version of mybb?

  43. 43.

    Staff Response: Justin S. (February 19th, 2008, 8:19 am)

    Kruzzen, actually I believe there are 60 subforums there - 30 for Dennis and 30 for rh1n0. So in total, there are 63 there - but of course, you can add much more than that. ;)

    Amin, quick reply in MyBB 1.4 uses AJAX, including new post detection and new page detection based on your settings.

  44. 44.

    blueparukia (February 19th, 2008, 8:24 am)

    @Animus - Themes can be imported via the wizard. Few template changes would be necessary - as you can choose between either horizontal or vertical postbit - users also have the option in their User CP - though I’d imagine this could be disabled if you wished for only one type of postbit.

  45. 45.

    Staff Response: Justin S. (February 19th, 2008, 9:45 am)

    “…though I’d imagine this could be disabled if you wished for only one type of postbit.”

    To remove the option in the User CP, you can always just take it out of the templates.

    “I like the optional vertical style post layout, but would really like it if the author information could be placed at the end (or bottom) of posts rather than at the top. Otherwise, lots of great changes” - rcw

    I’m sure it’d be just a simple template change. Just moving the postbit author block under the message, I really doubt it’ll require editing more then one template.

  58. 58.

    Jasper (February 23rd, 2008, 10:33 am)

    Looks sharp, keep ‘em coming :)

    How is the template system coming along for v1.4? Will it be easier to truly modify the structure of the forums?

  59. 59.

    Staff Response: Tikitiki (February 23rd, 2008, 5:32 pm)

    Jasper, the ACP Template page has been done for a while now. I’m not sure how the structure of the forum correlates directly to templates unless I’m missing something.
