Login & Logout
  • Login: User login attempts (successful and failed) are usually logged. This may include details like the IP address, timestamp, and whether the login attempt was successful.
  • Logout: Some forums log when a user logs out or their session expires.
Post Creation
  • New Post: When a user creates a new thread or post in a forum, it is recorded in the database.
  • Post Editing: Any edits made to a post are logged, including the timestamp, editor, and changes made.
  • Post Deletion: When a post is deleted, the action is logged with the reason for deletion.
  • Post Report: If a user reports a post, this action is logged, often with details like the reason for reporting.
Thread Creation and Management
  • Thread Creation: When a user creates a new thread, it is logged in the database.
  • Thread Deletion: Deleting a thread is logged, including the reason.
  • Thread Editing: If a user edits the title or content of a thread, the action is logged.
  • Thread Merging/Splitting: When threads are merged or split, this action is recorded.
User Registration
  • New User Registration: When a new user registers, details such as the username, email address, IP address, and timestamp are recorded in the database.
  • User Activation: If a new user account requires activation (via email or admin approval), this event is logged.
Key Tables Involved in Logging:
  • mybb_users
    : Stores user information such as registration, profile changes, and suspension details.
  • mybb_posts
    : Logs individual posts and related actions (edit, delete, report).
  • mybb_threads
    : Tracks thread creation, editing, and deletion.
  • mybb_modlogs
    : Contains logs for moderator actions.
  • mybb_adminlogs
    : Stores logs for administrative actions.
  • mybb_session
    : Contains information on user sessions, such as logins and time of last activity.
  • mybb_reportedposts
    : Stores reports of posts made by users.
    Sessions in MyBB:
    • Stored in
      mybb_sessions
      : Includes data like session ID, user ID, IP address, timestamp, and user-agent.
    • Purpose: Tracks user logins, active pages, and session activity. Expired after a period of inactivity (e.g., 15 minutes).
    • Security: Helps prevent session hijacking and fixation by regenerating session IDs after login.
    IP Address Logging:
    • Stored in Multiple Tables: Includes
      mybb_sessions
      (login IP),
      mybb_posts
      (post IP), and
      mybb_failed_logins
      (for failed login attempts).
    • Purpose: Tracks user actions, detects suspicious activity (e.g., multiple accounts or brute-force attempts), and enables banning.
    • Security: Useful for monitoring login patterns, detecting spam, and applying IP bans.
    Regarding this information, can the Admins tell exactly which logs it is applied to (Logrotation), I think I will answer these questions to everyone's satisfaction.
This forum account is currently banned. Ban Length: (Permanent)
Ban Reason: Selling real IDs/docs is not allowed
