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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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
Languages files are missing in alert settings!? Thats just after the installation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tested every alert to make sure they work. See results below.

When someone edits your posts [Works]
When someone opens your threads [Works]
When someone closes your threads [Works]
When someone moves your threads in another Forum [Works]
When someone warns you [Works]
When someone revokes you an active warning [Works]
When someone suspends/unsuspends you from posting [Works]
When someone sets/unsets your posts to be moderated [Works]
When someone suspends/unsuspends your signature [Works]
When someone edits your username [Works]
When someone edits your signature [Works]

! When someone deletes your threads [ Doesn't work ]
! When someone deletes your posts [ Doesn't work with both soft and permanent delete ]
! When someone approves/unapproves your threads [When unapproving a normal thread by thread moderation options (normal= no approving was needed] it gives you two alerts, one unapproved and one approved, although it should just give for unapproving. However if you are approving an unapproved thread, its fine]

Further alert type suggestions:
When someone accepts your buddy request.
When someone removes your from buddy list.
When someone merges your post/thread.
When someone splits your post/thread.

P.s. another thing i would love to see is an alert type when someone changes your groups or add/removes your primary group. (if possible)

I have found another issue, maybe thats the one you mean @Eldenroot.

If you stick/unstick a thread by thread moderations options, you get an error from the browser and the thread isnt sticked/unsticked.

"The uniting-people.com page isnБ─≥t working

uniting-people.com is currently unable to handle this request."

Thats what i get.
I confirmed it by uninstalling moderation alerts pack, then i could stick/unstick threads.

Is there any progress with this? The stick/unstick issue is really a pain.

I've managed to fix the 4 faulty alert types and the language issue, but it's likely I will release Moderation Alerts Pack with the new alert types suggested by @Brenda as a 4.0 version given the 3.x serie has been a mess so far.
