Most of these forums, including payed (vbulletin) are pretty easy though, all of those "install and ready to go" stuff. Not like you have to compile your custom kernel from scratch..

And how about SMF (Simple Machine Forum)?

Well no but when I tried to install myBB it was all like "mySQL Database not found on localhost. Please install a database on the webserver." (Actually it was because the sql server was not accepting incoming connections from the internal ip. (phpserver: 192.168.67.200 sql: 192.168.4.93 and the owner was being a butt and not listening.)

sounds like a server issue, not really a mybb issue. Need to ensure the MySQL server daemon is running and port you are choosing is correct (default is 3306).

For those looking at other forum software options here is my planned outline for other platforms

2. phpBB
3. FluxBB
4. SMF (Possibly if enough people ask for it and i feel it is used enough)
5. Wordpress
6. XenForo
7. IP.Board
8. vBulletin

The only issue with developing XenForo, IP.Board, and vBulletin is that they are all paid applications and as this is open source I am not making any money from it. I may start accepting donations if people actually find this idea useful and helpful.

I also want to point out that because it is open source I do it all in my spare time and I do have other projects that are higher priority between work as well other opensource projects that I am working on which would include a feature like this.

I am glad so far that people love this idea and that it is actually being used.

I know I am gonna make a test server for ya.

then why did you imply it was a mybb issue if you knew for a fact it wasn't?

The reason nothing is being displayed is that you have not configured it, you will want to go to Settings and the second option down will ask you to enter the MySQL information for the SM database.

Note: I did realize a flaw with the config is that when saving it will continue to display the password on settings so I will be changing that in the next release which I am working on packaging now and it will not display the password plainly.

I did enter it.

So I got a few questions regarding this plugin:

I want to create a sub-domain where it only has feature to pay for admin ingame through a MyBB donation system which auto adds them as admin on the forum and it reads that through MySQL then add them as admin ingame.

Thanks.
