This forum runs on horrible software. One of the wors UX that I experienced with open source software.
What was driving the decision on choosing MyBB instead of amazing alternatives, like [Discourse](https://www.discourse.org/)?
Seems like simply the usual Pine64 way of doing things.
edit: I'm now discovering that it doesn't even support the de facto standard for simple formatting: Markdown.
I have had the following problems so far:
- It shows alerts for replies I have read: there are 2 replies on a post, it shows 2 alerts. I click the first, read it then scroll down to the other reply, and read that also. But the “Alerts” button still shows `(1)` for the other reply, and I have to click it to make it disappear.
- My replies in DMs are not shown in a conversation view.
