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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

I've just pushed some updates on GitHub, download and replace your version with the new one.

Your regip field in mybb_users does not accept the Facebook guy's IP as it's too long. MyBB's standard regip field length is varbinary(16), which should handle IPv6. To my knowledge, there shouldn't be IPs longer than IPv6, so you'd want to check your regip field length in your db; eventually, you can raise it temporarily so the Facebook guy can register.

Note that this is not a MyFacebook Connect issue, as he would fail to register even with the standard registration form.

It is not related to

longregip" => my_ip2long

some users show long IP address similar to this one : 2a01212:2

is the error related to this?

And can I increase length of the regip in phpmyadmin? it is currently 16? make it 20 for example?

Will this cause any issues?

Ah well, good spot. my_ip2long() has been deprecated in a recent version of MyBB. Get rid of it to solve.

How can I do this please?

I found it in: class_facebook.php

Do i just delete the row? or it is present in many locations?
