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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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 is a plugin currently in development stages which aims to speed up same-page loads on MyBB forums.

Features


ThunderBoard loads same-page changes with AJAX using TurboLinks. For example, you can switch between forum pages without reloading the entire page and changing just the necessary elements. This lets your users enjoy a faster and smoother navigation. See the picture above or test the plugin by browsing between pages here on MyBBoost.

To install and configure ThunderBoard, read ThunderBoard documentation

I dont have any idea what could be added in future to get faster loading.

With smalltext class - thats really weird - cannot see it working properly (maybe it is affected by JS issues you mentioned above). I am looking forward to see fixed anchors and redirects (at least anchors, redirects can be disabled). Thank you

I would like to help you with testing. If anything, just let me know. I am looking for stable release (really huge improvement in loading times).

Thank you!

The next beta version will feature an improved handling of optimizations which are currently ran at runtime. The automatic recognition algorithm uses too many resources and can slow down the PHP processing time up to 0,1 seconds, which translates into a (barely) noticeable delay. By processing scripts at installation (and template changes) the impact on the server should decrease significantly.

Amazing! What about anchors, is it something difficult to fix?

I shall add a patch for that thing too.

That would be nice, because redirects and anchors are the last two things why I cannot use this on my live forum (users complain about it and report it as bug). However Thunderboard gives me about 40% faster loading times (I just need to wait for your fix for css issule which is not properly loaded sometimes).

Hi @Shade - what about finals, all good? I hope so :) can we expect stable build soon (or at least beta build with mentioned fixes). Thank you!

I have fixed the redirection issue on the working copy, whereas I haven't looked into anchors yet. I have just finished setting up a git environment to shift the development to a local copy of MyBBoost, so it's likely things will get a lot faster than they used to be.
