Originally that forum was meant for that, but it seems people just tacked other uses for it, so I let it stick.
Maybe a stickied thread could be enough for a list though.

That would be good - with links to the post where they can be found.

Hmm, so how do you think a Wiki would help?

Well, I think we could set up an XThreads wiki - to show off what XThreads can do (like the whole "wiki" would be an XThreads implementation). The "wiki" would be made out of first posts and posts maybe. I read the manual over at http://www.php.net/ and in the comments there are often nifty things.

We could do something like that here - like how to add a switch statement in a plug in, or how to get certain info out of an SQL query that is handy in MYBB plugins.  Many snippets on the web need a bit of tweaking to get right for MYBB usage. A more ambitious article would be about adding a custom page- without a custom page plugin, just making it ourselves - I don't mean some kind of static page, but one with a header and footer and able to handle variables (like queries from the DB etc).
