Hi all, Please note that the AccountRight release last night on August 3rd has implemented 2 notable changes. 1) AccountRight MSI 2026.5 is now offline only. This puts MSI the same as AccountRight Server Edition > being offline only and not receiving any further updates after 2026.5 2) AccountRight PC edition 2026.6 released last night, now has an '-allusers' feature which allows customers to install software and updates from a terminal server (how MSI would have been used previously) Please see this article for more information on installing PC edition on a terminal server using the '-allusers' option. For everything that has changed with the latest AccountRight release, please check out the release notes linked below.

Another month down. This time it was Australian end of financial year, typically the busiest time for MYOB and our customers. Please join me in celebrating some of the successes of the forum, its members and its moderators. The main highlights are above We had a 10% increase in member registrations and a similar 11-12% increase in new discussions and replies in the forum. Overall this helps to show that during our busiest month, many visitors and members are able to find the information they need without posting a new question - love this! There are a couple of new names in the Member & Moderator highlights! AmandaMYOB , Princess_R and Mike_James are definitely not new names. These three continue to be an amazing force in the forum moderating discussions, replying to posts and giving advice. Thank you!

Hello community! September has seen some changes in results for the forum. There are positives to be taken and there are also signs of areas to improve. There was a big reduction in pages/posts viewed in the forum last month. 22% lower than the previous month. BUT what is interesting is that there was only a 2% reduction in the number of posts made AND pages viewed per visit is still increasing. The number of replies per post also reduced last month which is a good indication that our community members and our moderators are able to provide answers with less replies (ideally 1 reply) Mike_James and gavin12345 continue to be our most engaged community members based on the number of replies they have made to others here on the forum. But in other areas like the number of visits to the forum, number of likes given and the number of posts viewed, there are some newcomers. Thank you to LisaMPW , jballiono , jlpatch , astonkoedyk and JWorkright for your time on the forum in September. If you have any feedback on the forum or your experience using it, please feel free to add a comment here or send a private message to either me or AmandaMYOB Our moderators kept busy last month as well. Together they viewed more than 5,000 posts and made more than 500 replies. Thank you everyone for being part of the community! Tell your friends - lets make this community bigger and better than ever. Cheers, MikeMYOB Community Forum - August in review
Hello community! August was a great month for our community forum. Overall, there was an 11% reduction in the number of page views on the forum (compared to July) but we always expect July to be the busiest month with end of financial year in Australia so we are still showing a good upward trend in use of the forum. There were also more members willing to jump in and ask questions which is fantastic, we saw a 36% increase in forum discussions with 871 new posts. Our resident superstars continue to be the top contributors when it comes to replies made, visits to the forum and posts viewed. But we have a couple of new names showing up for likes given. Thank you to everyone for your contributions to this great community. Mike_James gavin12345 jlpatch cramptons W_Sailor JenDPT And of course - a big thank you to our moderators Princess_R Doreen_P Earl_HD, Genreve_S, Isaiah_C. If you have any feedback, thoughts, comments, suggestions. Please do not hesitate to reach out to myself or AmandaCLMYOB Community Forum - July in review
July was a successful month for the MYOB Community Forum as we continue to work towards making the forum an incredible resource to our staff, visitors, members and customers. July is always a busy month with the end of financial year in Australia so naturally we saw some increase in things like visits to the forum and posts made. A quick shout out to a couple of MYOB Staff who jumped in to help answer questions. The return of SupportNoteGuy and Ron_T was great to see. Together these two made 87 replies/answers to questions in the community. Thank you! Some highlights are shown below An equally huge thank you to these contributors, users and supporters of the MYOB Community Forum gavin12345 Mike_James mikejenkin cml-72702968 LPGMTAccounts Sovauto Sam_LR If anyone has feedback about their experience in the MYOB Community Forum, please do not hesitate to send me or AmandaMYOB a private message so we can work to improve.
