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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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 you use this for Sticky Thread Purchases?

This issue is marked as solved
I read in the description "subscriptions and single-item purchases". Can this be used for purchasing stickies if a user wants to sticky their thread in a forum?

Single-item purchases are meant to be monetized attachments. You can still achieve this by setting up a subscription, setting a specific usergroup to upgrade to and let that usergroup stick their threads.

Interesting idea. Thanks. I'm currently using MySubscriptions and one problem my users are having is payments that are Pending on PayPal are not being delivered. I get 1 report about this problem daily and it sucks for my users and it hits my sites reputation. Apparently you've solved this?

Yes, the latest version of BankPipe supports webhooks. They are notifications issued by PayPal everytime an action takes place on their behalf, so basically you purchase something -> payment goes pending -> BankPipe waits till PayPal apporves the transaction. Usually, pending payments are handled manually by the merchant; when he does, a notification is sent to your server and BankPipe handles it confirming (or declining) the payment.
