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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

Discount Code Expiration Date Not Working

This issue is marked as solved
Shade, I think I found another minor bug...when I select an expiration date for a discount code, is reverts back to zero when I save it.

Doesn't seem so for me. Possibly, this is due to a different date format: what are you using? (Settings > Date and Time Formats > Date format)

Guess what, I missed the Discounts feature when adapting date format, so right now it's stuck with the usual format day-month-year instead of USA-style date format, while the backend processing correctly adapts to your board's date format. Thanks for reporting.

For a temporary fix, edit the date generated by the picker manually by swapping days with months (eg.: 19/12/2019 becomes 12/19/2019).

Ok, that seemed to work, I swapped the date to 11/30/2019 and saved it. Opened it up to check and it reverted back to 30/11/2019 in the date field. Before, it changed back to zero every time.
