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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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 theme?
Shade 26 Sep 2018
No, ThunderBoard is a plugin which aims to speed up MyBB boards by turning each page load into AJAX calls and other enhancements.

Sorry, I'm having some trouble installing this. All my resources return error 500 on installation.

Hello, could you please look into your server's error.log file? That's where errors are stored when pages return 500. I will be glad to assist you into installing ThunderBoard, although I may warn you that it's still a buggy plugin and it works good only on themes with little modifications.

Good news: I succeeded into stabilizing TurboLinks, so it’s likely that today I will start a small testing phase for ThunderBoard beta 6 here on MyBBoost before releasing it. Minifying resources was troublesome, so it has been dropped; same for images lazy loading. I hope that by simplifying the plugin it will be tested by more people, given feedbacks are always crucial in a plugin’s success.

Again #pidXXX is not working, you are not redirected to the specified post, but just to the thread... I had reported this in beta 3 IIRC? However everything else seems ot be fine on my local test board.

Beta 6 is not out, so you have tested an outdated version. I think however that post redirection is not working here either. Beta 6 is only available on MyBBoost’s site for now.
