RE: MyBB 1.6.1 Released
Due to the security issues related to this upgrade, I upgraded mine right away (I learned the hard way a few years ago and neglected up to a week before upgrading -unfortunately this was the mybb 1.4 upgrade dealing with a HUGE security vulnerability that allowed a hacker to gain admin permissions and even root mybb for a backdoor attack later-, while I was in the middle of doing my upgrade my site was hacked and I found myself and my sysadmin in the middle of a 30 minute battle trying to block the hacker and revert things to normal while he undid everything we did, it took some time but we finally outsmarted him.).

I highly suggest upgrading due to the security threats involved.

I would note that my "Trading forum" and "Training forum" had a slight mishap after the upgrade. When I made a new thread it gave me an sql error because I didn't have a default "no image" picture in the /images folder, so even uploading an image wouldn't work unless I had the /images/no_image.gif file in there. I'll post this problem in the "Trading Forum" section as well, maybe there's an update or fix for it, but it made me put the "no image" in there anyways. Tongue
