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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

Warning illegal offset

MyBB version 1.8.21 & PHP version 7.3.7

Since it's rather a warning than an error I think it can't hurt but I still want to share the warning I get when going to the board settings of flyover (Board settings > Flyover settings).
I know this isn't the sub thread flyover but it is hovercards relate since the warning says so

Here is what I see on the screen:

Warning [2] Illegal string offset 'row_options' - Line: 469 - File: inc/plugins/hovercards.php PHP 7.3.7 (Linux)

Warning [2] Illegal string offset 'id' - Line: 469 - File: inc/plugins/hovercards.php PHP 7.3.7 (Linux)

Thanks for reporting, this sounds like a little incompatibility with PHP 7.3+. Anyway, you can turn warnings off in the ACP and let them be logged in a file instead (which should be standard practice).

Warning [2] Illegal string offset 'row_options' - Line: 1643 - File: inc/plugins/bankpipe.php PHP 7.2.24 (Linux)

Warning [2] Illegal string offset 'id' - Line: 1643 - File: inc/plugins/bankpipe.php PHP 7.2.24 (Linux)
The issue extends to bankpipe, with similar errors, though I'm using PHP 7.2.

These errors are shown in a list of 10 warnings when switching to the Flyover Settings tab. 8 of them are 'row_options' and 'id' being referred to in bankpipe.php, the remaining 2 errors are the ones that the OP reported.

Thanks. Anyway these are just warnings, you can turn them off displaying by enabling error.log logging.
