Farewell

Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I announce that I cease all development and activity in the programming universe indefinitely. My career has reached the turning point I was not expecting for at least another year, leaving me highly off guard and without laid-out plans for this hobby's continuity. I have begun a 5-year residency program in Neurosurgery which is clearly not compatible, time-wise, with programming.

I gave in all my passion for developing, and you gave me back your loyalty and trust, even when I did not deserve that much. Now it is the time for payback. I release all my present and past work as Open Source software, in the hope some talented developer will continue maintaining and expanding my vision of a modern, sleek forum software. The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.

I hereby thank Euan, kawaii, andrewjs18, Ben, Matt, Omar G., effone, Eric J., Devilshakerz, Wildcard, JordanMussi and all the other team members I have had the opportunity to work with when I was a MyBB team member. I thank Tomm M, my mentor, who inspired me to pick up coding with his piece-of-art plugins. And finally, I thank all of you MyBBoost subscribers who have helped me getting through my toughest university years economically.

Yours sincerely, Filippo

ThunderBoard beta 6

Lazy loading uses JavaScript and it can be blocked if there are JS errors, look them up in your browser console. As for the bar color, you can adjust it by tweaking around with the app-loading.css stylesheet added to every theme.

Hi Shade,
I don't see any JS errors in my console, is there anything else that can be causing it ?

I will tweak the app-loading.css for sure.

Between I found a bug, if I changed my theme using quick theme selector, it doesn't change the theme to new theme even though theme has changed in MyBB settings. The old theme stays for a while.

Regards
WallBB

Not that I'm aware of. If you can provide a test board I can look into it. Thank you for spotting that switching theme bug, I'll add it to my to-do list.

If you need admin login, let me know.

Can't find anything wrong. Images load fine for me.

You can see the theme selector now, I didn't realize it was not there before.

Preloading content


A new preloading functionality has been developed and applied to the upcoming beta 6 which – as always – is running on MyBBoost which serves as a live testing area.

Preloading content enhances the perceived page speed by displaying a static page – a page which doesn't change – with the least backend processing; the actual requested content is loaded in the background using AJAX. Psychologically speaking the gain in speed is quite noticeable even though there are not any real performance cuts.

The plan is to add smooth animations and to further cut down backend processing before displaying the static content.

Hi Shade, will this also be part of beta 6 ? :)
Also I have one more question which I believe should work fine but I thought I will ask. Does thunderbird support html 5 syntax as well ?

Edit: Just found out that in case we are using html5 syntax for scripts, URL / is removed. It might be possible that you are using type="text/javascript" to identify those blocks. The below js error comes in console :-

"Loading failed for the <script> with source “https://URLjscripts/pjax.js”."

i'm testing on a localhost with lamp and for now i can't allow remote access to it.

About the Issue, for example:
if Thunderboard is enabled will be loaded the original "forumdisplay_thread" instead of the global one ("test_forumdisplay_thread") that i've created

It's a known issue which will be addressed in beta 5. In the meantime, you must use the rebuild global variables tool in ThunderBoard's ACP module every time you add or edit a template.

I believe this issue still exists with Thunderbird 5. I installed Thunderbird after creating templates for xthread.

I will look into these issues and address them when I'm back. Thank you for testing ThunderBoard.
