oldgym, an 7.x to 8 upgrade tool will be available for the final release, but read the beta test program text carefully as it does state not to run the beta versions on live sites, one of the reasons for this is that there will be no upgrade path between beta versions.
I'm waiting to hear feedback from users on the Calendar System to decide what changes need to be made to it, it maybe necessary cessicary to make database changes in order to accommodate the changes, which is why you may not be able to upgrade from a beta version.

actually i spoke too soon, lastnight i was pending my hosting company to install the database to my live site. this morning as i tested i was not able to log into the admin section of the forum. i left the log in as the default "administrator" "letmein". when i attempt to log in to the admin section i get the same error i have been getting with version 7.9
Error:
Only members with sufficient permission can access this page.
A security error has occurred with authentication.
Please ensure that JavaScript is enabled in your web browser, and you are not using a saved or cached copy of the page.
Yet, on the top, it says I'm logged in as the administrator. iget this error no matter what browser or comuter im using. you can try it too just go to northshore.com/forum
Ive had this problem with 7.9 and i was hoping that 8.2 which is cookie less would solve the issue. Its got to be somethig with my hosting environment because this app runs fine on my local HD.
ive investigated the following suggestions by borg..
1. An ASP file on your site uses session.abandon
2. The sites application pool keeps rcycling
3. You are using load balanced servers
4. You are using a win2003 server app pool farm
5. You are using an unpatched win2003 server (win2003 origianly had a bug when it was released and the ASP session kept being dropped)
and none seems to be an issue.
im so frustrated becasue i totally love this forum, i tried snitz, vbulletin, itcn.com and yet webwiz beats them all out..
oh well

Luckly for you I have already thought of this situation and v8 beta 2 also has support for load balanced web servers and web gardens, which should also fix your problem.
1. Open the file 'functions/functions_session_data.asp'
2. Set the variable 'blnDatabaseHeldSessions' to True:-
Const blnDatabaseHeldSessions = True
This will then mean that all session handling data is stored to the database instead of in the web servers memory.
Also in v8 beta 2 for extra security you need to re-login to the Adim Control Panel through the file 'admin.asp' as a completely different, more secure login system is used for the admin area.

Hey Borg that seemed to fix the issue on my live server with forum v 8.2, now I know it is possible for me to use webwiz forums!! yipppeeee!!
as for 7.9 version this simple fix does not apply so i will just need to wait for the final release of 8. in the mean time 7.9 is not working so i will be forum-less for a while.

At the moment feedback is really positive for beta 2 with only a handful of minor bugs reported and no-one up in arms demanding new features to be added.
If nothing else crops up this week I'm hoping that I can update the beta 2 version (with the few bug fixes) to Version 8 RC1 (release candidate) next week, for running on live web servers.

Hehe... when we are talking about features :D
I still think that some kind of a warn system would be really handy to have.. really like the one that exists in the Mod forum :P

Although not a warn system as I wanted something more generic Beta 2 allows the admin and moderators to enter notes about the user when you edit a persons profile. These notes are then displayed to admin and moderators in the users profile. This can be used as a warn system as you can enter notes, such as the number of warnings you have given that user.
