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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

Symposium - Modifying the Private.php page

This issue is marked as solved
I'm trying to modify the messages page which i think is (Private.php), however, i can't seem to change anything...?

I also tried the Symposium conversation template but no luck. Any help is appreciated.

The USERCP displays on top of the messaging, and can't seem to fix it. I was thinking of completely removing the cp, leaving only the messages.

You can customize Symposium appearance by editing templates; private.php is the core MyBB file which you should not touch. If you are using a custom theme, you will probably need to alter a lot since Symposium is built on top of the default one.

Conversation list is symposium_conversations (and subtemplates), a conversation is symposium_conversation. If you are unsure which templates to edit, you can always open your browser console where you will see the templates names.

I just removed the {usercp} form the conversations and it's also cleaner imo. One last question (sorry i know i've asked you already a few questions).

ON the "symposium_conversation", when in conversation, the "Send Message" button is 90% under the 'textarea/codebuttons". Any idea how i can fix this...i just need to bring the "Send Message" button a bit lower.

You can add a <br> just above it. Note that theming related issues are usually not covered in the support I provide, which is limited to technical issues (otherwise, it would be impossible for me to keep up with tons of requests; this was a simple one so I made an exception). I’d advise you to hire a designer if you can’t wrap your head around theming in MyBB.

I understand. The <br> worked, i thought it was an issue within the plugin template, but it seems it is a theme issue.
Thanks again.
