Hi all,

We are now accepting more beta testers to test the beta of MyBB 1.4. We have already been beta testing MyBB 1.4 with a select group of testers for the past several months. We’ve fixed over 500 bugs since the beginning of testing several months ago all while including countless small suggestions to better your experience with MyBB. Now everyone can make MyBB the best it can be by contributing your feedback and bug reports.

Procedure for applying:
To apply as a beta tester, please go to your Group Memberships page and join the “MyBB 1.4 Beta Testers” Group. A member of the MyBB Group will approve your request. After this is done, you will see a “MyBB 1.4 Private Beta Download” forum on the MyBB Community Forums Index. From here you will be able to read the rules and download the beta. Do NOT PM staff members asking to be added to the beta.

The beta is now closed, since MyBB 1.4 gold has been released

We thank you for your participation.

*vBulletin 3.7.2*

As promised last week (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?p=1582084#post1582084), today sees the scheduled release of a maintenance version for vBulletin 3.7.x.
…

*vBulletin 3.7.2*

vBulletin 3.7.2 Patch Level 2 (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=282133) has since been released, the current download now contains this patch.

As promised last…

First of all, thank you to everybody who has submitted a staff team application in the past few months. We are pleased to announce five new staff members to the MyBB Team.

Chris will be joining us as a support team member. nickman, LegosJedi, yottabytewizard, and ZiNgA BuRgA will be joining us as developers. Please join me in welcoming them to the team!

In addition, we are rolling out a group of experienced MyBB users who are named the MyBB Mentors, identified by their light-blue username and also on the Forum team page. We have invited several knowledgable MyBB users who regularly answer questions on the General Support forums to be in this group. Although Mentors are not officially on the MyBB Staff team, you can expect more reliable answers from these users, as they have shown they have more experience with MyBB than the average user.

We hope with these community additions, we will better serve the MyBB Community with both support and development.

*vBulletin 3.7.1 PL2 / vBulletin 3.6.10 PL2*

An XSS flaw affecting the vBulletin URL redirection system has been identified. It could allow an attacker to trick a moderator or admin into…

Nearly two months after our last stable release we are announcing the first release candidate of Phorum 5.2.8 which is a bug fix release over 5.2.7 fixing lots of issues found.
Some new things were put in too.
This includes:
- the rewrite of the bbcode module done through the MySQL-conference this year
- new APIs for Ajax usage and newflags
- some more hooks for better module integration
- updated / new documentation from Andy Taylor - mostly in FAQ and Admin Docs.

Please test this release and let us know any issues you encounter with it.

You can download it from our downloads page (see "Current Development Version" there).

This is the excerpt from the changelog:

Quote
Changelog
2008-05-25 11:57 mmakaay
* Added the conference 2008 rewrite release of the BBcode module to
the tree.

2008-05-25 09:35 mmakaay
* Added javascript_filter hook (for things like javascript
compression). Added a refresh=1 parameter for javascript.php to
let it ignore the cache.

2008-05-19 15:51 mmakaay
* The javascript.php script automatically loads the Ajax client
code, so modules can be sure that they can make use of it and
don’t have to load it specifically. Templates can now contain a
"javascript.tpl", which is loaded in by the javascript.php code
automatically. This corresponds to the way that the CSS code works
(where you can create a "css.tpl").

2008-05-08 15:00 mmakaay
* Added a new API layer for handling JSON data (final goal: Ajax
layer)

2008-05-08 14:56 mmakaay
* Added a new API layer for newflags handling.

2008-05-03 13:53 mmakaay
* Backported the phorum_switch_template() function from trunk to
5.2. This new function makes it possible to switch the active
Phorum template to a template that is stored in any directory.
This is for example useful if a module includes a full Phorum
template, where the template is packaged with the module code.
With this new function, the Phorum can activate the module’s
template without the need for the admin to copy the template to
the main templates directory.

2008-04-29 16:41 mmakaay
* Fixed #740: Mark read in folder (classic index) goes back to root
(thanks Oliver!)

2008-04-29 16:03 mmakaay
* Fixed #754: Display name filter was not included in pagination
(thanks Oliver!)

2008-04-29 16:01 mmakaay
* Fixed #738: problems with German help file for smileys module
(thanks Oliver!)

2008-04-29 15:54 mmakaay
* Fixed #757: Fixed typo in hook call for "posting_permissions"
(thanks Alexey)

2008-04-17 15:24 ts77
* use the correct default language for announcement conversion
(fixing #734)

2008-04-03 08:42 mmakaay
* Fixed #735: Added missing backslash in JavaScript code (thanks to
Oliver Riesen)

2008-03-23 00:24 mmakaay
* Fixed spam flagging by SpamAssassin for rule
SUBJECT_NEEDS_ENCODING. This prevents spam flagging of mail in
case the admin uses a name that contains special characters in the
"System Emails From Name" field. Encoding was implemented using
the Quoted-Printable description from RFC 2045.

2008-03-21 11:25 mmakaay
* Fixed spam flagging by SpamAssassin for rule FROM_BLANK_NAME
(From: contains empty name). This prevents spam flagging of mail
in case the admin did not fill in the "System Emails From Name"
field. This resulted in a header like: From: ""
<admin@example.com>

2008-03-21 11:16 mmakaay
* Fixed spam flagging by SpamAssassin for rule MSGID_FROM_MTA_HEADER
(Message-Id was added by a relay). This prevents spam flagging of
mail messages that are not sent for new message notification (for
those we already generated a Message-Id header).

Like the vBulletin Blog, the vBulletin Project Tools add-on will also be receiving an update in the near future. There has been great feedback on the features you want in the Project Tools, from…

The skins work with 3.7.1 PL1… it’s a minor update.

Hi all,

As you may have already noticed, we’re now running the beta version of MyBB 1.4 here on the MyBB Community Forums.

We’ve been moving forward internally with the beta in preparation for this stage and I’m happy to announce that we’re now closer than ever to a release.

Our intentions for upgrading these forums are simple:

• Get the front end of MyBB 1.4 in the hands of as many people as possible. This is the portion of MyBB that needs the most testing as it’s what’s most used by your users
• Ensure that the MyBB 1.2 through 1.4 upgrade is as smooth as possible. This upgrade does a lot of work behind the scenes, restructuring the database and rebuilding the themes. We need to ensure it’s as stable as possible

As this is still beta software, we expect there are going to be bugs, anomalies and other related issues - please report anything you find in the discussion thread (and shortly the MyBB 1.4 forums)

Thank you,
MyBB Group

In the background, we have been working on YaBB 3.  However, before it is ready, we need to continue providing a better system in the form of YaBB 2.  Our next planned release will include bonus features (more than the small things recently added to 2.2.2), along with the normal bug fixes and security enhancements.

With this poll we’d like to determine what features (if not all of them) we should definitely include.  This list was compiled by the YaBB Team from the most popular mods used at BoardMod and the most universally useful.  Our goal with adding features is always to not slow the forum down or add things that most people won’t use.

When Transverse Styles launched we had a focus: provide our customers the best designed internet bulletin board skins that are sold at a cost efficient price, coded to the latest web standards, and given the highest quality support.

Today, four years from the start, Transverse Styles has thousands of satisfied customers who have created many vibrant internet forum communities. We’ll continue to release the hottest bulletin board skins available and always look forward to working with you.

James
