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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

[Quick Question] Unread Posts Behavior

This issue is marked as solved
Firstly, great plugin. Thank you for writing this.

We started off by integrating with Google. Flyover could not have made this process any simpler. I love the simplicity of the registration page where you can adjust your username, the profile fields you migrate, and so forth. (It was somewhat tricky on the Google development console's side of things. I'll be happy to write the steps I used to get it working on Google for anyone else who may be interested!)

However, ever since installing this, we've had some weird behavior with "view new posts" and so forth. I first noticed it when I would write new posts, but then I'd visit the board and they'd show up as "unread." Now, new posts are often written but they don't show up in the "view new posts" search consistently.

We're unsure if this is a Flyover related issue or if this is perhaps PHP 7.4 (which we upgraded to in order to install) or otherwise. But I wanted to ask here first. I suspect that it's dealing with unread posts on an IP basis rather than a user basis because the issue most frequently shows up when I switch from my cell phone to my laptop. Does Flyover change anything regarding how this is done?

Just wanted to ask here first!

Thank you in advance,

Hi, thanks for your positive feedbacks! Flyover does not alter anything about that part so I believe it is unrelated. Note that PHP 7.4 is not necessary for Flyover, you just need 7.1.
