The usergroups moderation function is broken.

Can you be more specific please? And have you tried 6.9? Is the bug there too?

yeah, it's in 6.9 as well. it's a link bug. I can prolly fix it easy enough soon as I have a little spare time. (manual entry of the correct link works)

There's also a bug with the notify function. 6.8 and 6.9.
It fails with a 503 smtp error if using smtp and just simply fails
if not using smtp. It was working (both) prior to the upgrade to the
6.8 with 2.0.6 and patches. I temporarily disabled the function until
I have time to look at it, or it gets fixed. It could be a code problem, or
it could be corrupt database or ...

I've also had reports of more invalid session problems. But I've not had time to look into that one yet either. That will be my priority today. I suspect it's just screwed up cookies, but we'll see. You'd be surprised, or you prolly wouldn't, how many people can't follow instructions to enable cookies, then tell you it's a problem with your system. (sorta like me right now. *grin* )

AOL users will still get invalid_session messages, i have seen several reports about notifications not working, even at phpbb.com, but the odd thing is it doesn't affect everyone, the ones having the problem must have something in common but at least i haven't been able to figure out what it is :/

The usergroups moderation part i'm not clear about, can you give us more details?

Grak! It's a template/style problem. Caused by the Chronicles PhpBB style. It's got links hard coded inside it, instead of using the variable names.

I'll just have to hunt them all down and take a hammer to them.

I wonder if it's causing the email problems too ? maybe, maybe not.
I'll have to look into it more first.

Thanks for keeping us posted so we didn't continue looking Smile

I wonder if anyone else has any tips regarding this. I installed a mod designed to disable session checking with phpbb for single users, but it's not set up to work on admins and I am one of the people getting an invalid session error constantly. It did only start when I installed my new firewall/antivirus software but I can't track it down. What I have been doing is changing the name of the site cookie regularly and this seems to take care of the issue. Not the best fix though...
