Platform Upgrade / Functional Enhancements to Like Plugin - rdprdp01 - 07-29-2025 Please be advised that MyBB recently discovered a security vulnerability that could enable a Bad Actor to take control of the Forum by executing a sophisticated attack via a Post. We installed MyBB 1.8.39 to mediate that risk. Details about that security risk can be found at the following link: https://github.com/mybb/mybb/security/advisories/GHSA-q4jv-xwjx-37cp A summary of all benefits for upgrading to MyBB 1.8.39 follow: Key details: Version: MyBB 1.8.39 Release Date: June 2, 2025 Type: Security and Maintenance Release Security Fixes: Two vulnerabilities addressed Other Fixes: 16 issues resolved If you really want to get your geek on, details can be found here: https://mybb.com/versions/1.8.39/ This update caused problems for the "Liked / Thank You" plugin. Although it was undetectable for end users, a constant stream of error messages were logged. In a few days, the error log file grew to 18 GB in size, which could eventually take down the Forum because it would exhaust all of the available storage if left unchecked. Mostafa and I will update the "Liked / Thank You" plugin over the next 5-10 days to correct the errors. We will also expand the functionality to include other reactions than just "Like." Please be advised that Cormanus was instrumental in helping identify the reactions most appropriate for our Forum. He researched other Motorcycle Forums, provided examples, and helped guide the development of the use case which appears below: Updated Use Case for Like Plugin End User reviews a post End User opts to select an icon expressing a reaction: Like Love Informative Cool Funny Wow Sad End User can select only one reaction per post. End User can also add a textual reply but it will follow the standard posting protocol of MyBB. We plan to build a "palette" you can use to hover over a reaction icon, see a textual display of what it represents, and then click the reaction you want to post: See an example forwarded to me by Cormanus, which we will use as our model: More to follow. Enjoy your week. RE: Platform Upgrade / Functional Enhancements to Like Plugin - peterbaron - 07-29-2025 Uff, thanks god we have good forum doctors who medicated this issue! Well done, thanks David.
