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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

Problem with notification emails

This issue is marked as solved
I am getting some strange email notifications when a members purchases a subscription. I also did not even receive 1 with the last transaction...

Sample email received:

Dear merchant,
jpaz has purchased the following list of items:

    Site Supporter

This transaction was 75&Suggestion - Migration;, of which 2.48&Suggestion - Migration; were retained in processing fees. A net revenue of 72.52&Suggestion - Migration; has been credited to [email protected].

Best regards,

The weird stuff is simply the currency which is not properly formatted into the corresponding HTML entity. I'm working on it.

Just wondering if this has been addressed yet? I am still receiving weird text in my notification emails...

Dear merchant,
[url=https://www.7173mustangs.com/user-jd79]JD79[/url] has purchased the following list of items:

[list][*]Raffle Ticket[/list]

This transaction was [b]3&Suggestion - Migration;[/b], of which 0.43&Suggestion - Migration; were retained in processing fees. A net revenue of [b]2.57&Suggestion - Migration;[/b] has been credited to [email protected].

You can ignore it for now. It's just HTML entities of currencies (in your case, I desume $). This may be as well an issue with MyBB's core and how it handles entities in emails. Not top priority.
