After just 1 day of testing I'm delighted with the ease of installation and new features. I'm particularly pleased I no longer need to fiddle so much (copy files and edit) when a new release comes out because header, footer, birthdays and SMTP Port are now in the database. Thanks! I still have to copy the \uploads folder (fair enough) and my CSS styles files (which also need checking line by line for some releases - painfully). Also log files (optionally). I can live with that but a couple of other things might easily be added to the database "control file". - Some may not realise, but searches are restricted to "recent" posts or topics only. Consequently, I edit quick_search.asp to change the hidden field AGE from the default of 6 to 9999. This field could be in the database.
- Also, I edit search_form.asp to change the default ("selected") for AGE to 0 (Any Date). Again, this field could be in the database.
A couple of small matters I noted in Admin: - "Enable Custom Haeder and Footer:" - spell HEADER
- "Topic Rating System: When enabled this allows Members to rate Topics on a scale of 1 to 4, 4 being the best." - SHOULD BE "1 to 5" with 5 as the best I believe.
Looking forward to the live release! Great work!

Just tried the "Server Requirements Test" - admin_server_test.asp.
It ran at 50% CPU on my twin core server for a while then timed out (message below). Do I really need to extend the default time-out period or is something wrong...is this an intensive process or is there a fault. W2K server with MSSQL2005 hardly loaded at all! ------------------------------------------------------ Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0113'
Script timed out
/forum10/admin_server_test.asp
The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeout or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools.

Ladder Groups:
In admin it says "Click the Ladder Group Name to change the details and settings for that Ladder Group." However, all I can do is create and delete a group name - what details and settings? What am I missing here? Using Beta 2 (http://forums.webwiz.net/ladder-groups_topic29322.html)

Thanks for the feedback.
The "Server Requirements Test" should only take a few seconds at most to
run. It does connect to our license servers to test for connectivity, I
suspect you maybe running on a closed system or behind a proxy and so
this part is causing the timeout.
On the Ladder Groups page you can click the Ladder Group Name to edit
the name of the Ladder Group. There are no other settings associated
with Ladder Groups.

Many thanks...yes I suspect the licence server was/is the issue. Indeed when I registered the software a day or so ago using my URL and code the licence server took ages to confirm but it did work eventually.
I don't think there is a firewall type block therefore...also its notable that CPU was so high during this waiting period.

After replying I tried again. On clicking the test, the mouse went egg-timer but no page changes displayed. W3WP.exe was running flat out even after I quit the browser...it eventually stopped.
I then tried the V9 test which worked in less than 1 second. I then went back to the V10 test and that too worked....not sure what happened but it became unjammed... EDIT: Yes this happened again...I noted that ASPJPEG was required, installed it which necessitated an IIS restart. After that the V10 test "looped" again. However, when I did a V9 test the subsequent V10 test worked perfectly and instantly. Something is hanging up IIS on my box...

The only change between version 9 and version 10 on the server test page is the additional test for ASPJPEG

Thanks...strange, remains outstanding.
A further issue in both IE and Opera...I can see on the tabs and/or in the address bar our logo (favicon). In V9 I always see it, in V10 I see the WebWiz logo instead EXCEPT when I click on ADMIN then our logo shows up.
