Greetings all,

We currently have a few open positions on the MyBB Team for support and development roles. If you’re interested in becoming a part of one of the most powerful, free forum applications available today, we’re interested in hearing from you.

Current vacancies are as follows:

• Development Team Positions
  We’re looking for people with a strong background in web development with PHP and MySQL as well as a solid understanding of how MyBB operates in both code and functionality to become an active particpiant in our development team, preferably having released MyBB plugins or modifications at some stage. Knowledge of other database management systems such as PostgreSQL and SQLite is also highly favourable. You must be able to work well with a team and work under project management.

  Your primary position will be working with myself and the other developers to bring new releases of MyBB out.

• Support Team Positions
  We’re looking for people who are dedicated to MyBB and have a solid understanding of the functionality of MyBB and have experience in managing a forum themself, an understanding of PHP and MySQL is not required however may be beneficial. You must be able to work well with other team members. You must be able to communicate clearly and correct in English.

  All we ask of you is that you’re an active participant in both supporting other users with MyBB and can do so in a professional manner.

Please note that all positions are on a volunteer basis, you’re under no obligation to stay with the MyBB Group if you have other commitments that need attending.

Applying

All applications and requests can be submitted through the following form on the MyBB website: http://mybboard.net/contact/?subject=team-position

Please include the position you’re applying for, background information on yourself, information on your knowledge of MyBB, PHP & MySQL experience if necessary and any other information you wish to include.

If you don’t receive a reply, no – we haven’t forgotten about you, it’s just that there are usually too many applications to individually reply to each one. Private messages containing applications/team position queries will be ignored.

Note that existing and active community members will be given preferential treatment for these positions due to their existing dedication to the MyBB project.

Thank you,
MyBB Group

Welcome to the MyBB Development Blog, the place where from now on we’ll primarily be talking about what is going on behind the scenes at the MyBB Group as well as taking a look at upcoming features in new releases.

We hope to keep the blog fairly active and we’ve got quite a few posts planned already:

• Extensive MyBB 1.4 Control Panel Overview
  A series of posts which will contain a full overview of the MyBB 1.4 Admin CP including many screenshots, feature overviews and our design and technical decisions.
• Advanced Plugin Development Tips & Tricks
  A few tips and tricks for getting the most out of the MyBB Plugin System.
• Regular MyBB Tips and Tricks
  Ranging from security related tips and tricks right through to uncovering some of the more hidden features and customising your copy of MyBB.
• Behind the Scenes
  A look at how things happen behind the scenes with MyBB, including our development process.

I hope you’re looking forward to being able to discuss some of the things above with us on this blog, as we’re very much interested in your feedback for a lot of the above to help improve MyBB in the future. Stay tuned for another post shortly.
