It was reported to me a bug that Bytes were actually not being deducted when bumping. It probably worked with the API but definitely was not deducting from the thread bump. Seems that there is a conflict in the query flow causing this. The fix was to make sure the Bytes are deducted in the shutdown sequence.

You can read more about Shutdown here: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.r...nction.php

MyBB actually has a shutdown function in their query class $db->shutdown_query() which is what I used to fix this.

Anyways, after spending a couple hours on the frustrating bug I have decided to lower Bump costs.

Regular/L33t 150->100
Ub3r 100->75
Vendors 50 (no change)

Also, my alteration could potentially cause side-effects in other functions where Bytes are added/subtracted. If by chance you see any odd behavior related to that please report it to me. Make sure the Bytes system is working properly please.

Enjoy and thanks.

Sorry for giving you that headache 😅

I thought I was tripping and so did a couple of other users until I showed them I wasn't actually being charged for bumps.
Glad it's all fixed up now.

I was definitely being charged for my thread bumps. Glad it's fixed.

You were using API though right?

Nope. I manually clicked the bump thread button.

I currently do not use the API for thread bumping.

Interesting. Well, I was able to repeat the bug myself over and over. And even though it's showing the bump and fee in the Bytes History, it was not actually subtracting the Bytes. Since you're Bytes rich, are you actually sure it reduced the byte amount?

100% positive because Eran PMmd to even test bump (he didn’t disclose anything to me)

So I did a test bump and I indeed had 50 bytes deducted.

I was bumping regularly and I noticed the reduction as well. ( button )

I was being charged also, through button not api
