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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

This issue is marked as solved
Hi Shade. I know the plugin still in beta stage and I hope soon there is an update for more stable version.

Anyway lets talk about my issue. Two different member in my forum couldn't send message because they had corrupted conversation.

Please check the screenshot in attachment. I'm clicking "Start conversion" but nothing happens.

Hi, which version of MyBB are you using? Did you upgrade your forum recently?

Mybb version is 1.8.21. I never updated. Mean, when I first used it, I installed it as 1.8.21.

Mind to specify the uids of the users who are having troubles messaging?

These "suspended" messages are just dust which is not either in the Sent or Inbox folders. I will fix this in the next beta so you will not see the count, you can ignore it for now. It is not related to corrupted conversations, which I have not found btw.

I'm having a similar issue -- the "Start conversion" link doesn't initiate the conversion process. Is there an easy fix for this? I can see a bunch of JS but the link isn't causing that script to run. I'm using 1.8.22.

Edit: The converter runs on a smaller test server. On my database/server with 170,000 messages, it doesn't seem to start at all.

Is there a manual URL I can enter to initiate the conversion process? The JS/AJAX converter doesn't seem to like the 170k messages.

It should prompt a fail message, asking you to report the console output. Mind to check your browser's console?
