yes that is true too.

In my option its all the admin and mods call, if they want to spend time for a maybe securer version (i dont know that for certain) and i love that feture in the newer verstion of attecments like the option to insert atechment into post. Maybe someone could make a mod of the new fetures and still keep the rc 2

EDIT: verstion to version, I hate you Lou!

Its exploitable like Surfi said

boards need upgrading.  Like I said this is the biggest mybb forum running its going to get attacked at some point tbh

---

But it cant be upgraded it a few days like other forums. Due to the fact that it is huge and due to all the mods that have been made, itll take time

Btw, this isnt DZBB or anything. Dz has done a lot of work on it agreed. But this is still running MyBB. Thats the bottom line. Though dz has customised it with a lot of mods and stuff so it is more user friendly (not that mybb isnt but you know what i mean )

Why do you people care what version is running?

The board works doesn't it?


The staff should decide if the board will be upgraded or not.

@ Surfi test some known sercuity bugs and see what a potential hacker could do to these forums. Remember this is one of the most popular mybb forums around making it likely to hacks.

Plus the mods are already done and the basic code is wrote. It just needs to be changed to work with the new mybb files. Which some mods maybe hard however the lasest posts one it a new page and should be easy to update.

Plus mods maybe even improved when the update occurs. However we totally understand if updating the forums can take months and probably the whole process will start next month, as this is a busy season

The answer to when this forum will be upgraded to the latest version of MyBB (currently 1.01) is avaliable here: http://community.mybboard.net/showthread.php?tid=...pid=35029#pid35029

Also, if you would like to know why it is taking so long look here:

Shortly Chris did say on his forums (or blog, cant remember) that a newer version of MyBB would be avaliable, myself as well as many other people of MyBB's forums have reported over 30+ bugs with end-user and back-end code. Chris is also reminding us that MyBB code is dodgy and all his efforts, as well as the rest of the Development team, is on cleaning and setting a guideline. But MyBB latest version has fixed many vunrabilities as will the next version, and the next version and the next version, and the next versi... Not one person, nor one BulletinBoard avaliable to us is Secure, therefore if the forums were to be upgraded anyway, it would still have exploits.

The good side, and I agree with many other people is that you should always have the latest version of any product you may have in your posessions. Saying that means that it isnt our business to dictate what the admins should do and shouldnt do. And seeing as thats that, i recommend that this thread be closed (im not demanding therefore im not dictating).

Dang it's already on 1.02!

Well from what I have notest WDZ has been active the last littel while on MyBB Community Forum. He has never realy been active at all since RC2. But anyways most of his posts are about the MyBB main code, variables and function so he may be working on transfering his mods over or just seeing how hard it would be to upgrade.

Anyways this isn't for sure just what I have notesed over at MyBB


WDZ Feel Free to correct or change anything I have said

Well, what I'm currently working on is just going through every line of the code, finding bugs and security holes, and trying to get a good understanding of how everything works.

I haven't started "porting" any of my modifications yet. Sometime in the next week or so I'm going to set up a test board on my localhost, which will be very helpful for testing modifications. I never had that when modding RC2...

It's good to know you are hard at work and that you decided on a new method to test your mods

A quick update...

For the last 2 weeks or so, I haven't really messed with MyBB at all. The current release is quite buggy IMHO, and the developers have made tons of fixes [partial list] that they haven't released yet. I don't want to waste my time finding/reporting/fixing bugs that they already fixed. Also, I expect that a lot of code is going to be changed, so any modifications I do may have to be re-done after the release.

About the release date... we are doing our best to get 1.2 out of the door ASAP, as it fixes many bugs I think the community wants fixed.
