I’ve been syaing it’s coming for a while, but the new MyBB Mods website finally went live today. The new website boasts a host of new features and improvements. I mentioned some of the important ones in the official announcement, mostly so as authors could begin making the required changes to their submissions as soon as possible. However, there are plenty of other things that weren’t in the announcement. Here are a few…

The statistics page has had a major overhaul. You can now view the latest submissions and updates, the most popular submissions and the highest rated. Additionally, for each, you can choose to view only submissions of a certain type. For example, I could click “most popular downloads”, and then filter the results using the options on the left to view the most popular plugins only, or the most popular themes, and so on.

With the help of some AJAX magic, you can edit your reviews inline, just like you can in MyBB or on the MyBB Ideas site.

When you make a submission, you can specify a link to a live demonstration of your mod or theme. If you enter an address here, it’s automatically shown to users along with the other options on the information page for your submission.

It’s not so much just me running the mods site anymore. I’ve had help from a number of people and I should really take this opportunity to thank Chris Boulton and Tikitiki for their help during the development of the new site. Together, we’ve really worked hard on this update and we hope you enjoy the new site!
