it's called WDZBB silly.

Hmmmmm I think the only real judge of this board can be surfi.  He knows about all major exploits here and could potentially do some major damage.  Although this is also the biggest mybb forum know to man

I think we should upgrade it would be very good

but the thing is would surfi and everyone else have the time and effort to uprgade?

thanks shawnz

Have you seen the code? No, then you can't make that call.

The way WDZ structured is that his modifications mainly, like shoutbox, and reputation system do not rely on the MyBB template system or as much on the MyBB code.

It would take a day, maybe to test, then a day to upgrade.

Benefits? I can name quite afew, especially for forum staff in terms of moderation.

This board is exploitable.

haha wdz has checked every bit of code and has fixed all the bugs that have been fixed on Mybb 1.0

---

Heh, I doubt it

More features? Blah! Surfi has stolen many of wdz's features so shush

---

... I have? Only thing would be the idea of reported posts in the database, which is now also in several other discussion forums.

I only fix the bugs I know about. I did look through all the code when I upgraded to RC2, and I fixed a whole bunch of stuff, but of course I didn't do much testing of possible obscure bugs because that would have been too much work.

20 seconds? O_o I think quite a bit of planning and preparation would be required to make that happen...

Not true. I appreciate your defense of my laziness, but don't make false statements...

I dunno, I guess I'll extract mybb_1_00.zip and at least have a look...

I think he should make some sort of /test/ directory, then take the time to install, etc, etc.  After that, when it's done, just use mod_rewrite OR move the files to the root of "msghelp.net".

ok, but I only said what WDZ once said... And it wasn't pointed towards the code, but towards the features and stuff, which I do can "compare" from the original.

The only thing that should be changed in RC2 is the upload systeam it's hard to post a pic or a file compared to the new vertion. Other then that I don't see anything wrong with this.
