MyBB 1.4 Feature Tour
MyBB 1.4 is a major release of the most powerful, free PHP and MySQL forum software available. There's over 50 new features, many behind the scenes optimizations and a complete rewrite of the Administrator Control Panel. Take a look at the tour below for a small snapshot of exactly what's new and improved in MyBB 1.4 or take a look at the full list.
Built-in Template & Theme Editor
Customization has never been easier
MyBB 1.4 includes a completely redeveloped theme system and an updated template editor to make customizing your forum easier than ever. Now included is syntax highlighting, multiple stylesheet support, both a simple and advanced stylesheet editor, and improved template searching.
Multiple stylesheets
In previous releases, themes only had a single global stylesheet, which you could edit from a lengthy and disorganized page in the admin control panel. With MyBB 1.4, you can now create additional stylesheets that can be used either globally or on individual pages (and individual actions within those pages). This is in addition to the global stylesheet, and a set of pre-included stylesheets that contain styles specific to pages such as the User CP, Mod CP, and thread pages.
New simple and advanced theme editors
MyBB's theme editor has seen a complete rehaul for 1.4. MyBB now lets you easily edit every selector in a stylesheet, not just a predefined set. Rather than displaying these all on a single page, you only edit one selector at a time. This remains quick and easy to use because MyBB uses AJAX to load and save each selector. By doing this, the only content loaded is the content you need - you don't have to reload a lengthy page of options every time you make a minor change to your stylesheets.
Additionally, MyBB 1.4 offers an "Advanced Mode", which allows users who are more familiar with CSS to edit the stylesheet directly. You also can use the Advanced Mode to add new selectors, which you will then be able to edit using the simple editor.
