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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

Can this plugin replace default avatars in forum posts?

This issue is marked as solved
I installed this plugin and it works great with Hovercards but it is not replacing default avatars in forum posts. I did click the link in the plugin list but no letter avatars.

Yes. Letter Avatars just adds the link to the avatar in the users table; posts fetch avatars from that, along with basically every other service and plugin available, so Letter Avatars is cross-compatible. If you are not seeing the avatar in posts, your theme might be to blame for.

Yeah, I am running Flatty theme and it does have some unusual coding! I wish I knew what was up with it because it is a nice touch!

When I am back I can look into it, as Flatty is a widely used theme and others might stump across this issue. Shade#7731 if you want to talk on Discord which is easier, then we can post the debugging results here.

Ok I sent a friend request (I think..LOL! I haven't really used Discord much)

Sorry for the late reply, forgot to update everyone. This was a problem with the remote avatar setting. Letter Avatars requires remote avatars to be permitted.

In what way? Letter Avatars still requires remote avatars.
