Hello! I am in need of assistance with my forum ( http://worldskimap.org/ ) I need help with adding a world chat, point system and themes/backgrounds anybody who can do it is welcome they will become developer in my forum

Hey there welcome to FP! There's a point system you can download from the MyBB website called Newpoints 3. You can download it from this link:

MyBB - Free and Open Source Forum Software

The official homepage for MyBB, a free and open source PHP forum software.

community.mybb.com

I also recommend taking a look at the themes on their website too. You could commission someone to make the graphics for your forum or even a theme if you'd rather go down that route. I'm not sure what you mean about world chat though. Do you mean a shoutbox? You're probably better off integrating a Discord server with your community if you want quick chats.

First off do you have access to a FTP account? You need one in order to upload files to your website. You'll also need a program such as FileZilla to connect to your webserver from your computer. Next since you mentioned you wanted a shoutbox, the first plugin I came across in the ACP was DVZ Shoutbox. Here are the instructions to install it on your forum:

The installation is not fully automatic so the plugin will not mess with your styles or templates. Complete the following steps to set up the plugin:
Upload the files from UPLOAD to your MyBB root directory.

CSS Code
Copy the CSS included in the package (STYLES.txt) into your theme stylesheets (for example global.css).

{$dvz_shoutbox}

Insert the {$dvz_shoutbox} variable into your index template (Index Page Templates of your theme).
Install the plugin in the ACP

As for themes you could post in the Themes Request subforum on MyBB's support forum which you can find here.
