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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

Failed installation of MyTwitterConnect v3.0

This issue is marked as solved
Hello

I am trying to install MyTwitterConnect Plugin in promo2day forum: https://www.promo2day.com/

After I complete all steps I have an error on installation:

"A connection test has been made, and your server's 443 port seems to be closed. Twitter needs port 443 open to communicate and authenticate users. This test might fail under certain circumstances: you can still install the plugin and give it a try by clicking here, but keep in mind that the connection test has returned an invalid response. If:

you are running on a dedicated or premium hosting, you most probably have access to a port manager or something similar. You can easily open 443 port on TCP protocol by accessing the manager.
you are running on a shared hosting, or you don't have access to a port manager, you must contact your host and ask for port 443 to be opened for you. This is the only way to let your users login and register with Twitter.
The installation has been aborted for security reasons."

I sent to one.com support team about port 443 and they replied that it is already open in all domains

Can you please help?

Just click on "here" where it says so ("you can still install the plugin and give it a try by clicking here") – it's a link which bypasses the connection test. As you can easily read from the error you received, the connection test may fail under certain circumstances, thus why you can try to install it anyway.

Glad you succeeded. That error is unrelated to MTC, looks like an issue with ProStats (a plugin I haven’t developed and for which I don’t provide support). Looks like an incompatibility with the latest PHP versions (7+). Contact its author to solve.
