Go to sleep Akismet, Stop Forum Spam is coming

Jan
3

Akismet is activated on my MyBB forum. It comes by default. But still there are load and loads of spammers signing up and posting on my forum.

There is not an option of deleting all the posts of spammers at once which sucks. I decided to give Stop Forum Spam a try.
Let’s hope it does the job better

Facebook Connect for MyBB Released

Nov
26

After long a long development and testing stage, i am releasing the long awaited “Connect with Facebook” plugin for MyBB :)

My plugin is based off the Facebook connect plugin Ali Razavi wrote for his site www.alilg.com. He was very kind to release it freely to the MyBB community. May Allah bless him.

Future plans:
I plan to make the plugin fetch people’s Facebook profile picture as avatar during registration. This feature would also be available to existing users.
Another thing i’d like to implement is to allow the users to fill required profile fields during registration.
There may be other things that are not coming to my mind right now :D

What about “post to profile” features etc?
I do not plan to add these features. I may add it in version 2 which will take some time to come. I think i need to stay focus on the basic functionalities of this plugin i.e. login and registration with Facebook. Anything else would be called “bloats” and would distract me from making the core more solid and secure.

To get more info and download the plugin, go here:

Nov

I released an alpha version of the plugin i’ve been working upon recently. It is a major refactoration of the Facebook connect plugin Ali Razavi wrote for his forum AKA AlilG.

The plugin is supposed to let people register and log in on MyBB forums with their Facebook credentials.

I need people to test the plugin and review its codes.

Visit the official page for the release of this alpha version for more info and download:-

Banning 80+ Users

Nov

I banned 80+ users on my MyBB Modding forum. I did a search for all those who had links in their signature and banned them ASAP at one go :D

Unfortunately, i didn’t find any option to mass clear the signatures. I’ll have to run an SQL query to do it :(

Anyways, its always fun to ban :P
