MyCode - MyBB DocumentationThis General Forum "Tips" Topic was the result of questions being asked by Forum members, who find the MyBB Forum software less than intuitive.
Our hope is that this series of "Tips" posts will assist our Forum members to be able to effectively use the MyBB Forum software.
This Topic is locked to keep it concise, without extraneous posts. If Forum members want to respond to a Topic post with questions or comments, they should open a topic in the Hasleo General Forum.
You may notice that some quotes have a "green arrow pointing right" after the name of the author of the quote. By hovering your mouse over that green arrow and clicking it, you will be taken immediately to the quoted post. In such cases, the same link is included at the bottom of the quote, because it is understood that some new Forum members may be unaware of that feature of the Forum software program. That is why the visible link is repeated at the bottom of the post.
Posts that are quoted from "Forum Team discussions" are available only to the Forum Administrator and to Moderators. As a result, no link is shown. There will be no green arrow and no link at the bottom of the post.
Most, if not all, of the posts you will see in this "Tips" Topic will not have that green arrow or a following post hyperlink. That is because the Editor, garioch7, was continually baffled by the idiosyncrasies of when creating posts for the HBS FAQs Topic. During the Forum Team review process in the Moderators Forum, admin and al3x provided invaluable assistance to him. He was shown how to fully exploit the capabilities of MyBB.
Topics/posts about MyBB were rarely raised in the HBS Backup Forum, so that is why most, if not all, of the cited posts in the "Tips" will have no hyperlinks.
More future posts are being considered as well, based on a comprehensive review of Forum posts dating back to when the HBS product was first released in May 2021 that identified common questions.
We hope this Topic and its posts will assist our users and customers. Thank you for selecting the Hasleo Backup Suite as your backup solution and for joining our Forums.
The second Primary Link opens the MyBB, Version 1.6 MyBB documentation, whereas the current version of MyBB is Version 1.8. That is intentional, as explained by the Forum Administrator.

You will also note, if you are accustomed to using BB code on other older Forum platforms, that the MyBB implementation of some BB codes is somewhat different from that used on those Forums. Some users, like the Editor, were surprised when some BB codes he used on a well-known Forum did not work correctly with MyBB. The very basic BB codes such as bold, italic, and underline are identical, but the quote and other more complex BB codes are unique to MyBB, so Forum members are encouraged to review the two primary links.
The question of why the Hasleo Forums chose MyBB as its Forum software platform and whether it will continue to use MyBB has been raised previously, since some other Forums use more sophisticated Forum software platforms.
The Forum Administrator explained the reasons for this decision.
(10-15-2026, 01:11 PM)admin Wrote:Hasleo Forums was launched in 2014. At that time, the popular open-source forum platforms included MyBB, phpBB, and Discourse, among others. phpBB was powerful, but its layout was traditional and its admin backend had many options, which created a learning curve for new administrators. Discourse was still too young. MyBB's default appearance was generally considered more modern and attractive than phpBB's, so we ultimately chose MyBB.(Forum Team discussion - Partial Quote)
After years of use, MyBB has indeed shown some issues. That said, we currently have no plans to replace MyBB. Migrating to another forum platform would be a major undertaking and risks losing data and links; unless a new platform can fully support migration from MyBB, such a move would be difficult to justify.
Since MyBB will be the Hasleo Forums software platform for many more years, it is important that our Forum members be provided with the information to use it to its full potential. This initiative by the Forum Administrator and the Forum Team is intended to address that need.
To facilitate our Forum members being able to test what they have learned about MyBB from this Topic, a new Testing and Scribbles Topic is being created in the General Forum. Please refer to the Post 1 of that new Topic for details about posting in that Topic.
