Any coders around here? You guys think we could get support to make a plugin for it?
I'll be honest. I really don't have the time. A few years ago I would have, but I've done much harder things for MyBB. I wrote a little CMS that was about half way complete and had about 7000 lines of code. ACP was completely finished and it worked great. Just never had time to finish the front end. I actually tried it out the other day and couldn't get it to load pages. I had a bug in there and my code was so complex I couldn't understand it. I apparently used to be pretty good at PHP.
But I already wrote a decent status updates plugin for MyBB. It had some bugs so I never released it, but it works well enough to enable here. We could scrap the profile templates completely here and redo it entirely, write some code to put a custom background and "cover photo" in place, and make the status updates take up the majority of the page, and have a little sidebar for all of the misc fields. Pretty much what MyProfile was trying to do before they gave up and just made it a collection of extra features.
I'm planning to quit my side job a couple weeks before I move in August, I'd have time to do the PHP part if anyone wants to do some template and styling work. That's what I don't have enough time for anymore. We could release a community plugin and it'd probably drive a little traffic here.
