 How to proceed with the forum [message #910] |

On June 29th the question of whether and when to upgrade to a newer version of the forum software was already raised in a posting in this forum.
Now we about 9 weeks later, the FUD software folks have released by now the version 2.6.6, and we are still running a patched 2.6.2 release with some unresolved problems, the most anoying one being the Redundant subscription entries - multiple notifications issue.
So I wonder now what the plan to proceed with the FUD software is. I'd appreciate very much if a clear plan of action with some time estimates could be posted.

as you know we have already been testing 2.6.5 RC2 internally for a while.
The current version 2.6.6 was just released two weeks ago - only one day after the long expected release of 2.6.5.

To get this converging, I'd like to see a clear procedure. Please, make a decision what version we want to evaluate, update the test forum accordingly (if you pick 2.6.5 RC2 that's the easy part), and make a clear statement what functionality you'd like to see tested (this based on your judgement where the weak spots might be). This way we'll have a stable basis and a check list to work on, and also a clear basis for a decision.
I'd appreciate that such a plan of action is posted here, so that we get this finally resolved before xmas

Last monday the test installation was already upgraded to 2.6.6.
This should have been announced to the interested audience (that is you and Olaf Hartmann) in multiple ways (new topic notification + direct email to all test forum users). If you did not receive it, maybe there's something wrong with the mail system on the test host.
Anyhow there wasn't any feedback yet ...
My plan for future upgrades:
- Encourage more users (all grop leaders and moderators?) to review the test installation.
- Keep the test installation up to date with the latest stable release.
- Update the production installation only if serious bugs are fixed or indispensable new features come up.
Alternative solution: keep the production installation up to date with the latest stable release and live with errors that eventually creep in (i. e. broken email notification).

The test installation under http://lxdv12.gsi.de/FUDforum2/index.php seems to have now rather strange access rules to the one and only forum called 'TestForum'.
If not logged in, I see the 'TestForum' forum, and can read the topics and posts:
If I login as user 'mueller', the 'TestForum' forum is not longer visible, the test system is essentally useless when I'm logged on:
That got probably screwed up during the upgrade, because I had posted 5 messages before the recent upgrades were done.
