Features
MyBB is a forum package full of useful and to-the-point features, helping you to make administrating your bulletin board as easy as possible. We highlighted some of MyBB's best capabilities, to show you why you should choose MyBB over any other discussion board. You can find these highlights on the navigation on the left of this page. We also have a General Features Overview which contains a general features list.
Security
MyBB puts your board's security first.
Extensive measures have been put in place to guarantee MyBB's security on your web server. We've performed security audits and rewritten code to make sure that no vulnerabilities are left unpatched in MyBB. In the off chance that a vulnerability is found, you can be confident that we're already preparing a patch for immediate release.
Speed
So fast you'll have to chase it
MyBB has been optimized to be speedy on any occasion; be it a large or small forum. Whenever we make a change to the core workings of MyBB, we first ensure that it will not cause a disturbance in the speed of your board. Several features have been rewritten to be optimized for larger boards while still working on smaller boards. Regardless of whether your forum is big or small, you can be guaranteed MyBB will provide you with the speed you need to get your forum running.
AJAX
MyBB makes use of AJAX to enhance its features
MyBB uses AJAX technology throughout to make its features quicker and easier to use. In MyBB 1.2, inline editing was added to allow for faster editing of posts from the thread page and thread titles from the forum page, and keeps you from having to load an entire page to make one small edit. In addition, auto completion was added to private messages to make finding the user you want to write to easier. MyBB 1.4 added still more AJAX-based features, such as an updated quick reply, the ability to mark a forum as read, an updated buddy/ignore list manager, an updated thread rating system, and the ability to select PM recipients from your buddy list. Even the Admin CP utilizes some AJAX, such as in the settings search and the theme manager. In all of its uses, AJAX refines the user interface and makes MyBB even easier to use.
Inline Moderation
MyBB's inline moderation makes management easier
Inline moderation can be found throughout MyBB's forum and thread pages to make mass moderation a breeze. Inline moderation allows you to perform the same moderation task on multiple threads or posts, or just one. You can even create your own moderation tools using MyBB's custom mod tools. Inline moderation is just the beginning of the extensive moderation systems you'll find in MyBB.
Permissions
Extensive permissions allow for complete control
MyBB features a vast set of tools for thorough control of your users' access to various parts of the board. Every user group has a large set of permissions for various features in the board, as well as varying permissions to each forum. With MyBB, you can control every level of user with ease, and can easily block access to any part of your board to some groups, while leaving it available for others.
