[edit] Other Notes
[edit] PHP Compatibility
After February 2008, all versions of MyBB starting from the major version release after 1.4.0 will not have PHP 4 support any longer. That is, the MyBB 1.4.x series will be the last series to have PHP 4 support.
The PHP Group has discontinued maintaining PHP 4 since December 31, 2007. Also PHP 5 has been released 3.5 years ago (at time of writing) and has many improvements over PHP 4 which the MyBB Group wants to take advantage of without having to write backwards-compatible code.
If your web host is still using PHP 4, we encourage you to urge your host to upgrade to PHP 5.
