Account switcher is an absolute must have in my opinion, and its one of the first I install 😄 Beyond that, I have Pages, Newpoints, a Discord webhook that alerts my Discord to new posts or members joining etc. Which I absolutely love and must have on all my sites now haha. xThreads is awesome once you figure out what the hell to do with it. I need constant help with it, but I've found I can do some really cool shit with it 😄

I recently pieced together a code to allow members to change their own usergroup (of course to the specific group set for that link), less work for the staff and users don’t have to wait for staff to get the time to update the usergroup.

@Kit the Human most variables in all things don't like numbers first. Code just doesn't like it. You'll find the same issue in PHP too.

^this is brilliant. You're my new hero.

I hate documentation in posts XD and besides, you can do some sexy stuff with pages. Account switcher...well, it's HTML annoys me because it's not terribly flexible (as you customise your theme, it starts to fall apart) but it's damned useful.

ID variables are a godsend, I swear. My favourite trick with them though was (to save myself rewriting the same code) is thus: class="miniprofile group{$usergroup['gid']}" So, you can do all your applicable to all groups with .miniprofile For the stuff you want to be unique to each group? .miniprofile.groupX Beats copy pasta all the time! (I don't know why, but you can't start a class with a number, so you have to add a word or letter in front of the variable.)

My favourite is the Custom Pages plugin because I need my documentation in pages, not posts. But I also love the prostats, avatar on the index page and Mention Me.

I love customizing postbit stuff so it's coloured according to each member's usergroup. I used to do it in a really clunky McGuiver-esque way by sticking the {$post['usertitle']} variable into an element class name. It corresponded to a bunch of classes I had in my css like; .text_Member {color: red;} .background_Member {background: red;} etc But now I've learned about the magic of {$usergroup['gid']}. It's less work and much more flexible.

Was there a variable that made your life easier? A clever exploit of myBB's features? A feature that you didn't know existed, but you found it and huzzah! It helped.

Like it says on the tin people, what plugins do you like to use for your myBB sites?
