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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

Folders Missing?

This issue is marked as solved
Hi Shade...I just installed Beta 2 fresh on my forum but I don't see the folders anymore. I have an INBOX section in user cp nav but under it is CONVERSATIONS(0)...that is it.

Also, PM links from postbit and profile take you to the conversations page but do not populate the "Send to:" field.

That's how Symposium is meant to work: it hides the normal folders and replaces them with a unique link for conversations. It's stated in the release thread as well.

The second issue has been already reported here: Current bugs - beta 1 and will be fixed in the upcoming versions where multiple recipients will be rolled out.

Ah, OK...I read this and thought there should be folders like in messenger:


If you did not have copies of sent messages in your "Sent" folder before Symposium was installed, conversations will just include the other user's messages and will look like a monologue. Messages sent from when Symposium has been installed onwards will have hard copies in the "Sent" folder by default.

Nope. That refers to the "Sent" folder before Symposium is installed. After installing Symposium, folders are hidden and messages in the "Sent" folder are displayed in conversations mixed with those in the "Inbox" one. This is how Symposium displays conversations.

Ok, I gotcha! Looks good! I am going to wait for the PM links issue to get fixed though,,,I know my members use that a lot for classified ad posts and stuff.

One other unrelated question...what alert is it that pops up when you are mentioned in a post? I'm not sure if it is already in Alerts or something you added?

It's part of DVZ Mentions, the plugin I'm using for mentions. You can turn it off if you'd like from your alerts settings, you should find the row "Receive alert when mentioned in a post?" in the middle.
