1. Men when 1.6 is out, ill stop paying vB

2. for [b]User Notes for Mods and Admins[/b], I will definitely change User Notes for Admin only and ignore Moderator 🙂

   finally, the next sneak prev.
   awaiting the 3rd previews 😆

3. any expected date of release?

4. Nice. When will 1.6 be released?

5. that is awesome 😀 you do great job guys. 😀

6. Very nice. Mybb is the best board ever!!

7. I just love the ‘more secure admin login’. Will it also send the IP of the possible hacker, so we can see who he is and maybe ban or suspend him? That would be just great.

8. I can’t wait for MyBB 1.6! This is going to be great!

9. All very nice features although I do think display name needs to be added as that is also a security issue with mybb.

10. MyBB 1.6 will be the epiphany of the already-amazing MyBB. All these features just add to the anticipation of the final release. Cannot wait!

11. Good Job Team 🙂 Nice one

12. the release date please

13. This is looking really good – the admin notes plug in from Yumi for 1.4 is one of my faves and I’m delighted to see it included as core in 1.6. That add moderator system looks quite handy too. I’m really looking forward to MyBB 1.6.

14. I’ve been waiting for this. It’s looking really good.

    Now I get to look forward to Part 3.

15. great job, waiting

16. Wow, I cannot wait for this, it looks really cool, keep up the GREAT work MyBB

17. Man, this looks better and better. I am guessing only a weeks to a month. (To let it settle :P)

18. @Amy, no that is absolutely not a security issue. Please do your research first.

    Everyone who keeps asking for a release date or suggesting them, please stop. There is no release date (estimated or otherwise) at this time.

19. Display names will be added in 1.6? This is a great new feature and I think that only IP.Board has it at this moment.

    Thanks! 🙂

    • Speeder, No it doesn’t have Display Names. Not sure where you read that?

20. Nice!
    Definately looking forward to this!

21. I’m really hope for this version. The 1.4 version has few bugs that make me ilfeel. Especially on Quick Reply that sometimes didn’t respect whenever I push the button.

22. Nice !!! These features are useful.

    I want the Plugin Importing is easier for developer to writting (InstallCode: import settings, templates. Uninstall Code: remove, settings templates…etc)
    The developer still Install&Unintall and check IsInstalled by manual code, this way isn’t safe

23. Can someone answer me please? Speaking of the ‘more secure admin login’, will it also send the IP of the possible hacker, so we can see who he/she is and maybe ban or suspend him? That would be just great.

24. Awesome job guys! I can’t wait for it 😦
    Keep up the good work!

25. Can’t hackers exploit the “More Secure Admin Login” to lock admin accounts? The other features are great. I can’t wait to see the new theme :D.

    • @Kenshin Hasekura Na, not really. Take a look at the code if you want and you’ll see what I mean.

      And there’s no new theme. Not sure where you read that. It’s coming for 2.0

26. I like to new admincp security measure, thank you.

27. MYBB really rocks and i think its easier and better than VB.

28. @Ryan I did my research. Having display names helps protect your username from hackers, who try and log in as you or one of your staff.
    Plus it is a big issue when switching from ipb to mybb which I am thinking about doing. I mean the biggest issue is the fact that when we were first using the converge we now have members with email addresses as their log in name because at first with the converge you had to use email address as the username.

    • @Amy, Obviously, obscurity improves overall security HOWEVER it is only a small impediment for a hacker and you are making it sound like its a security vulnerability. It is not.

29. I am really looking forward to 1.6. The features look awesome.

30. Wow! I can’t wait until 1.6 is released 🙂

31. Great, as usually.

32. Well I am drooling over mybb 1.6! The features are fantastic! I can’t wait for it’s release!

33. I’m starting user of MyBB. Long time I serach for good script and I think MyBB is best for me. It have a friendly user interface, transparent and free. It’s not soo advenced like vBulletin or IPB but better than simple PhpBB or SMF (for me). I wait for 1.6 😛 Maby in futere MyBB may have competition in Poland of UniBoard (new script, successor of Callisto) 🙂

34. @Ryan it was not my intention to make it sound like a vulnerability just but does improve overall security. Not only does it help in the security I mentioned but it also helps with openid, facebook connect and twitter log in, which at the moment ipb has. I am still unsure if I want to make the switch.

35. More Secure Admin Login- this option is sure going to cause problems if the forums would have users who tend to harrass and lock admin accounts unnecessarily

36. Well I think we’d like to hope most people aren’t sad enough to do that. It can easily be unlocked again by the admin, and I believe it logs the IP of whoever locked it out (don’t quote me on that, can’t check right now). We’re not going to not do something like this because some idiotic users may do stuff like that.

37. I’ve only started using MyBB a couple of weeks ago and I am well impressed. Compared to the other forum boards I have tryed out, MyBB is far the best. Looking forward to MyBB 1.6

    My thanks goes to all the developers for making MyBB freely available for us to use. I am totally 100% a fan of MyBB. I say, WOW!

38. MyBB 1.6 sounds great! All the extra security measures which are being released and all the other features feel like something which should have always been there! 🙂 I will definitely try to make the switchover when it is released. I hope the Afresh series templates will still work though as those were great templates to use…

39. @Hospitality Welfare

    That can easily be solved by renaming your admin directory as described here – http://community.mybboard.net/thread-44977.html

40. Yeah, mybb 1.6 will be epic 🙂

    Thanks mybboard devs

41. The MyBB team has continued to raise the bar in free forum software. Many of the additional features of 1.6 are ,imho, needed and overdue.

    I only hope that they continue to improve MyBb through the 1.6 to 2.0 series without bloating it like many of the other softwares have done. (not mentioning any names).

    A fine job done by all involved.

    Just a quick question…when 1.6 is released, could someone please include a readme or forum post with instructions to update plugins and themes to work with the new version? I have many plugins and themes (many of which are custom) on one of my boards that I would hate to part with.

    Sorry for the long comment xD

    • Most plugins should work with MyBB 1.6. Some hooks are different and there were changes in the admin-cp. These changes are very special (they affect only some plugins) so there can’t be instructions for everything.

42. Eagerly waiting for Mybb 1.6, best wishes to the latest version.

43. Hi
    In my opinion, the only weakness is the absence of a quite advanced editor.

44. @Pars: Our current editor fully supports BBcode. Could you please be more specific about the functionalities you are looking for?

45. @Huji Lee: I think, he is looking for a wysiwyg-editor.

46. In my opinion, the only weakness is the absence of a quite advanced editor.so i think u have to do on this to improve your site.
    ………………..

48. I realy can’t wait until it is realeased 🙂 , it has nearly all features I had looked for in MyBB 1.4.
