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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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
A user tried to do a subscription on my website but got this error.

I have no idea how to fix this.

Ok, it's a 6 hour time difference. I tend to get up early in the morning, my time.

We can try for 1:00 pm your time, which is 7:00 am my time.

Would that work for you?

Ok, is it possible for me to link a short video that you can view?

It might explain things a bit better.

It's clear in the first few attempts of clicking on the 'Add to cart' button, the red "malformed error" shows up at the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Now, I am pretending that I am a new user and I thought I made a mistake. So, I pick the next option and click on the 'Add to cart', again that red "malformed error" shows up.

I look at the bright red 'Cart' button at the far left side, it is showing (0), which makes me think that I did not do something correctly as a new user.

However, if I go ahead and click on the Cart button, the next screen shows the 2 different subscription options that I already picked on the previous page. That adds to the user's confusion.

That is when I end the video.

Two things are going on... Bankpipe is showing that weird "malformed" error message and it is not relaying the correct amount of subscriptions to the 'Cart' button.

Yeah, I suppose there’s a server error, as they usually produce this kind of malformed response errors. I will have a look at it directly later on your site.

Ok, that's good to see that it's something that I didn't do wrong.

Just for your info... you can check out real quick what my setup looks like when kawaii set it up at the beginning of this year.

I don't know if the setup has any impact on the issues with Bankpipe.

@Serpius's issue was related to BankPipe being altered. Restoring its integrity solved the issue.

When you state "restoring its integrity", do you mean restoring the messed-up code back to its original code?

Again, thanks for your assistance in fixing this.

Indeed.
