These are just my thoughts about MyBB security updates. I’m not a security expert of any sort, but I just offer my opinion based on the knowledge I have. Over the last few weeks there have been two releases to MyBB to patch potential security vulnerabilities that have been discovered by various parties. I have seen some people who have found these seemingly miniscule updates too trivial to apply to their own boards, despite the fact that I and various other members of the MyBB staff have recommended these updates. 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. This will allow plugins and other features within MyBB Continue Reading
Changes to DennisTT.Net
I’ve made a few changes to DennisTT.Net. I’ve gotten rid of Etomite, and so the blog (and site) is fully powered by WordPress. The gallery has now been replaced with my Flickr account. I hope to get a bit more integration between MyBB and WordPress in the next few weeks after my second set of exams are done.
MyBB Development Update: Attachments
In anticipation of the release of first beta/preview of MyBB 1.2, I’ve been committing a lot of small features here and there. Some of them are from past suggestions on the Suggestions forum on the Community Forums (which proves that yes we do add features that people suggest to the MyBB releases). However, there are others that I have added on my own. One of the sections I concentrated on during the last few days was the Attachment Manager, in both the Admin CP and User CP. I thought that it lacked some functionality, including finding broken attachments. There are Continue Reading
We’re ditching MyBB!
Here is the outcome of one of our shortest MyBB developer meetings: [22:45:13] Chris says: okay [22:45:15] Chris says: we’re ditching mybb [22:45:18] Dennis says: yeah [22:45:23] Peter says: sure [22:45:24] Dennis says: ok [22:45:25] Peter says: 😛 [22:45:26] Dennis says: agreed [22:45:30] Chris says: alright, glad thats resolved [22:45:33] Dennis says: bye [22:45:37] Peter says: bye, lol [22:45:47] Chris says: cya No we were just kidding 😉 Anyway, I’ve got part of my SVN back up, and I’ve started committing a little bit, after having no commits for who knows how long. I still have a lot of stuff Continue Reading
