Administrating MyBB - good practices

[xiaozhu]

This is weird, I tried changing it, but it didn't change for me >.<

Edit: Fixed! It was a template problem.

Now, replace the default text copyright with that image. This prevents script kiddies from finding your site by googling "Powered by MyBB" but it still leaves the copyright in tact for all to see.

I should note that I have not gotten an official answer on whether or not it's "Ok" to do this. I would think so, though, and unless Chris or someone else with MyBB Group specifically says "don't do that" then I'm going to keep doing it and I recommend that the rest of you do it as well.

I did it. You can see it here, at the bottom where the copyright text was.

But, instead of using the print screen button and having to crop it out, I recommend using Snapper, a Firefox extension that lets you 'snap' a portion of the page. Like just the copyright. And it gives you the correct size and only that 'snapped' picture. You don't have to crop!!

Having 'coypright' on your forum for being the official MyBB copyright lines isn't enough!

This is not allowed FW:

   
It has to include the exact text in the original copyright, not just a link to mybboard.com

WHAT? That's not what it shows on mine! It shows:

PS. Try refreshing the page... that might help

Your site has been messing up with images recently...I can see the copyright image now, but almost all postbit images (quote, pm, find) don't display...

Thanks for the tips, I just implemented them on my forums.

Is there a built in feature for backing up my databases?
