RE: Help with MyBB by Val on 07-03-2006 at 01:04 AM

Hello welshboy222,
How to create forums and categories in myBB:

  1. Log into the Admin CP
  2. Look on the sidebar for "Forum Management" and under it you should see "Add New Forum", click it.
  3. Fill in the info, the main thing the separates a forum form a category is the "Parent Forum" section. Select "None" to create a category and select a category to create a forum.
  4. Hit "Add Forum"
    [/list]

Hi,

The best place to ask for support is on the MyBB Community Forums, http://community.mybboard.net

Alternatively, you can view the MyBB documentation on forum/category management at http://wiki.mybboard.net/index.php/Admin_CP_Forum_Management

Take some time, look around. All your threads make it seem like you can't learn anything on your own. Just try, look around, maybe you'll learn something.

I have and now I'm really stuck:
I want to change the logo but i've looked everywhere for that
Also I want to change my rep but how?


RE: Help with MyBB by lordy on 07-03-2006 at 03:31 AM

you can't change your own rep... only other users can do that

I believe he thought this possible through the admin cp. This is NOT possible. Not technically. You'll have to upload stuff via ftp first.
RE: Help with MyBB by welshboy222 on 07-03-2006 at 07:58 AM

I got a problem how do I upload a picture to my ftp client I want my logo on my site but I can't get the logo. How can I get a pic using the ftp client?

The theme file is not for the current version of myBB you are running (). If you still wish to install it, please change 'Ignore Version Compatibility' to yes.
How can I change Ignore version Compatibility? Also Should I, I have version 1.1.5


RE: Mybb help by musicalmidget on 07-03-2006 at 07:51 PM

On the import theme page, you can check a box to ignore the version compatibility of a theme.

For future reference, your MyBB related questions are better asked over here...
