Unlimited categories/forums and subforums
Detailed forum access permissions
Disabling increase post count
Page compression

Polls

Thread rating
Custom profile fields
High powered module system
BBCode
User levels

Probably the most advanced thing is the admin panel, it gives you almost full control of your forum
and a bit more happy.gif
I made this out of tutorials and used tiny bits of code from other siftware

SCREENS happy.gif

I'll add more later
Tell me what you think of the theme happy.gif

I updated the admin panel a little, instead of going immediately to configuration it takes u to a page with info about your forum and some help

I have a demo set up on my apache server
http://192.168.1.100/YMbb2_0/index.php
I can't say that it'll always be online...

I think it's nice.

How easy will it be to customize? Is customization done via style sheets or the admin panel?

The reason I ask is because I'm interested in using it for my website.

i think its nice. ive wanted to make my own forum script. i think its a great addition to the forum script family smile.gif
nitsuarox
Thanks wozzy and creactive happy.gif

almost the whole site can be customized via the admin panel

Themes are done with php files and css file for the style which can be modified via admin

the php files you can modify in the admin panel for the theme are:
footer.php
header.php
quote.php
tablebutton.php
The other files are
Theme options, like theme name and stuff
and then the tabeleheader
and the CSS

Really the only file you have to modify to drastically change the way it looks is the CSS

Just so you know that link does not work.
That IP address is an INTERNAL IP address, only you and people connected to your router can view that.
You need to find your external IP address and also make sure you have port forwarding enabled to your computer. http://ipchicken.com tells you your external IP. If you need help getting it to work, contact me, my site http://trippin.uni.cc is being hosted off my personal computer right now.

hey! it's done I just gotta make it's site
Jetteh22
Whoo! I'm excited.
I might use it for my next project so get the site up.

uploading the files now happy.gif
Jetteh22
I'm subscribed to this so post when the site is finished.
nitsuarox
Well it's released but it seems that on the zymic server it messes up some images and messed some files up in the upload process
you can download it now just go to ymbb.zzl.org

WAIT! zymic messed a ton of files up! so I am gonna switch over to another host...
but download is good happy.gif
Jetteh22
Wow. I think it's really good (from what I can tell with the slow servers).

My question is, how easy is it to customize? Did you make the codes nice and readable?

And...

Some spelling and grammar issues..

Ie: " Dont have new topic access . Dont have reply access "
is what it says..

IMO it should say:

You don't have new topic access. You don't have reply access.

At first i was like "Eh?"

EDIT: I also don't see a way to log in?
EDIT: I also registered and I'm not showing in the members list?
nitsuarox
xD sorry that was probably my friend who did that.
and yes it's VERY easy to customize
Jetteh22
read my edits
nitsuarox
login is supposed to be at the bottom can I have a screenshot?
Jetteh22
http://imgbin.co.uk/uploads/imgbin-486408b71fcdf.JPG

That's the URL to the screen shot - scrolled all the way to the bottom.
IE 7.0
nitsuarox
oh yeah in my post above it said that zymic host messed it up
if you download it and run it somewhere else it should work
Jetteh22
Okay - When I get home sometime tonight I'll download and put it on my own server. I'll test it out, ect and give you a better review tongue.gif
(might even put it on featured sites on my new site)
nitsuarox
lol I forgot to chmod everything xD it should be all fine

I'm still however moving it to a new host
nitsuarox
You'll prbably get an error in /forum/themes/YMbb/functions.php on line 1
and /forum/replacements/YMbb/replacemets.php on line 1
just put a space after <?php
