Features
From administration to posting a reply, MyBB is a forum package full of useful and to-the-point features for both you and your visitors, helping you to make running your bulletin board as easy as possible. Take a look at the tour below to explore some of MyBB's best capabilities, showing you why you should choose MyBB over any other discussion board. You can also check out the MyBB Community Forums if you wish to see a copy of MyBB in action.
DBMS Support
Support for multiple database types
MyBB supports the following types of database servers:
- MySQL v4 and above
- PostgreSQL v8 and above
- SQLite v3
It doesn't end there though - we'll be experimenting with support for additional database server types for future releases too.
Database fall-over support
With MyBB, it's possible to specify a list of database servers that MyBB should attempt to connect to. If the connection fails or an error message is received while connecting, MyBB will then move on to the next available database server in the list.
This is fantastic for large forums who have database replication configured and multiple master servers spread out over multiple locations.
Master/slave replication support
MyBB also contains built-in support for master/slave replication support. Larger forums requiring more than one database server will be able to set up automatic replication between their servers and have all write database queries fed off to a separate server than all content is fetched from.
