Things You Can Do w/ MyBB

If you have never used MyBB before, you might be surprised by some of the features it has! This page is here to help you worm your way in and out of MyBB and how it works for us on Boss of Bosses.

Account Switcher
Account switchers aren't anything new, really, but MyBB has them. In order to link an account, go to the User CP, and at the very bottom of the "Miscellaneous" category in the sidebar, you will find the "linked accounts " option.

Tagging
You can tag other players! To do this, type @[Username], making sure that their username is spelled correctly and is cased properly. (@[Boss of Bosses] and not @[boss of bosses], for example.) The person you have tagged will receive a PM letting them know that you have tagged them, and in that PM they will automatically be provided with a link to the post in which they were tagged.

You can edit your tag settings here.

Thread & Forum Subscriptions
You can subscribe to any threads and all forums, and receive instant e-mail notifications whenever a new thread has been posted or a reply has been made. This is very useful if you are a group leader, as you will get an e-mail notification when someone starts a new topic in your group's area. It's also a helpful way to keep track of posts you owe.

If that isn't your thing, you also have the option to not get e-mail notifications. Either way, all subscriptions will be documented in your User CP. This is a great way to track your own threads, so long as you have subscribed to all of them. There are quick links to these subscriptions in the member area of the header.

You can subscribe to a thread when posting it; you will have the option near the bottom. Or, to subscribe to an existing thread, scroll down to the bottom and find "subscribe to this thread" in the bottom left corner of the page.

HTML in Posts
Although you can use BBCode in your posts, you may also use HTML. This is great for those of you that like using posting templates- which you are more than welcome to do, provided you can remember to close as many tags as you open. You can't mess up the entire board by closing one too many div tags, but you can make that specific thread look pretty silly- and that isn't very nice, is it?
