Need to find/hire help with upgrade, but not sure where to post such a thing if there's even a place in the forums here with Bruce and Company.

Don't want to violate any of his support forum rules, but this isn't a clean simply copy the files in upgrade due to some minor tweaking of colors, additions of smilies, and a paypal button so I need to "look for hired help" somewhere - where else but a place where forum EXPERTS hang out!

Hi Bill

If you want to send me a PM we can have a chat about the upgrade. I think I'm fairly up on forum software and mods - as we have often used them and made tweaks within the software ourselves. Ask Putz22 for confirmation if you want a character reference LOL

Wa-hoo - we're on  the latest code - at least until Bruce comes up with better.

I noted one issue, and I THINK it's my computer, as my OTHER computers don't do this - on my Vista machine with Firefox, it kept logging me out when I'd say send a PM, then go back to the main forum page, or I'd wait a bit and refresh, or be at the main page for 15 minutes then click the latest topics button, and I'd be logged out.
None of the other computers or browsers did this. So far today, it's not doing this.
I also need to ask Bruce how our server load is now with the new forum, the way it pings and keeps sessions and the addition of our banner management software - if we're still ok on resources.
That was a lot of change in a couple days time.
All went well and smoothly. It would seem to me that Bruce not only takes great care and pains in his software design and code, security and all, but he also seems to design all this and take at least as much time on the upgrade process. I've never seen software any easier to upgrade.
I'd bet for every change in the forum code, he takes that much time in making sure others can upgrade without breaking. This must take HOURS!

Maybe it might be if you are using the Quick Login, as I generally use the main login page, where it gives you the options Keep me logged in - requires cookies

Log outs are normally cookie related issues as I'm pretty certain that none of the changes on the actual software would cause this. Also I think the ping action is so minimal it is hardly noticeable on resources but Bruce would need to clarify

I've always used the "quick login" I guess since day one.........

I"m not noting it logging me out today - in fact, the opposite. All day it's said last time was yesterday, and all posts since then are being treated as unready by me.

Did you see the note from another user, I think I'm seeing the same thing. You click to list all the new posts since last visit, spend 30 minutes reading them, then a new post comes in, and you click unread or new again, and suddenly, you are back at the beginning, they are all marked new.

As you have recently upgraded you should clearout all cookies set by the forum to ensure that nothing is left.

You should also try using the full login as this can take the last login date from the database and also update the same helping for more accurate unread/read post display.
