MyBB 1.2 Beta: Multi-quoting

I’m going to be posting this series of screenshots in new posts now. One of the new features of MyBB 1.2 is multi-quoting. This function allows you to select as many posts as you want, from a one or more threads, and have them all ‘pre-quoted’ in the message box when creating a new thread or reply. The following screenshot shows the postbit. The multi-quote button is the one to the right of the “Reply” button (which was “Quote” before 1.2).

These people seem to believe that just because no harm Continue Reading

MyBB Development Update: Moderation

I’ve also been working on MyBB recently and I’ve added a significant feature to MyBB 1.2 a few days ago, which I’ll let you people guess what it is. The feature was not requested due to popularity (I don’t think many people had suggested it on the MyBB Community Forums), but within the staff team there were some who supported this feature. I’ll start off with this clue and add more hints later if requested: A couple of months ago, I converted most of the stuff in moderation.php into a class.
