I was wanting to make my forum when it was first installed MyBB but then I found out all about all this hacking stuff... So I was a bit wary so I went with phpBB. But in the end phpBB is crappy.... I've added as much security to my forum as humanly possible.

Well to a point.

MyBB needs to include all the possible security measures one could implement in their installation documentation. Seems like just following the directions they provide will leave a forum vulnerable ...and thats not fair to their "customers."

 

[Gizmo]

I've changed admin directory, hidden admin link, and added a secret pin of 50 characters.
So I should be safeish.

Ugh, 3 more hours til my weekend starts. Can I borrow a time machine?

 

[Gizmo]

On MyBB forums now except for this one the signature images show as [Image: http://google.com]

Well without google obviously... Even the MyBB support forum

 

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

That might be fixed in your settings I think. I see signatures there.

 

[Gizmo]

My signature shows up as

Instead of

It works fine in Chrome but in Firefox and Opera it doesn't work right.

 

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

Odd. Hope you get it sorted.

I queried at MyBB Support. It also happened when Enter Username Here had Dump Load on MyBB.

Forums can be strange

 

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

Yeah.... Someone is always having an issue with something. Technical and personal alike.

 

[Gizmo]

If there were never issues and the world was perfect I wouldn't want to be born

 

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

Lol. Yeah perfection is overrated.

 

[Gizmo]

LMAO.

It was an account problem. Although how on earth did it happen in the first place because I was able to see images perfectly fine, then refreshed then cya images.

All fixed now. I had to enable 'Display images in posts.' in Edit Options.

I converted from phpBB 3.1 to a friends IPB license then to MyBB. So it could have something to do with that.

 

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

There's probably an SQL query you can run to fix all members settings, make images show up.

 

[Gizmo]

I did an SQL that was provided to me by someone on MyBB support forums.

Odd issues that show up post merge.

 

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

I know all about merge/conversion issues. This forum has been on 4 different softwares.

 

[Gizmo]

When I merged from phpBB 3.1 to IPB everything showed up as unapproved. Did you have that problem?

 

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

We converted the phpBB version to vBull, then the vBull to IPB then finally to MyBB. The only real issues I ever ran into was broken BB codes all over the place.

 

[Gizmo]

Broken BBcodes.... I love those.

The is back. How's it going?
