Miscellaneous Frontend


These are some other pages that are included in the MyBB package.

Contents

Buddy List Popup

Buddy list popup.

On the Welcome Bar of each forum, there is a link called "Open Buddy List". This opens a new window with a list of your buddies, categorized as either online or offline.

You are shown the avatar, current status (online/offline/away), and time of last activity for each buddy. You can also click on their username to be taken to their profile, or click the "Send Private Message" link to send them a PM.

The Buddy List can be modified in the User CP.

Smilies Listing

Full smilies listing.

At any time, you can view a listing of all smilies on the board by browsing to misc.php?action=smilies (for instance, if your board were located at http://example.com/forums/, it would be at http://example.com/forums/misc.php?action=smilies). There are no links within the software to this page.

For each smilie, you are shown the smilie itself, its name, and the code that corresponds to the smilie (the "abbreviation").

Smilies Popup

Smilies popup.

When writing a post or private message, you can optionally include smilies to express your emotions. While most smilies are shown to the left of the message area, there are often more smilies available, which you can view by clicking [get more]. This will open up the smilies popup.

In the smilies popup, there are two columns of smilies. For each smilie, you are shown the smilie itself, and the corresponding code for that smilie. Clicking on the smilie inserts it into your post.
