I updated the forum software to a new version. Let me know if you see any issues. I will have few more updates in the next weeks.
Thanks,

I had to switch to using IE9 because when using Chrome I couldn't log in to reply to a post. It was OK before.
HTH.

Having Log-in issues when trying to access the PAD thread. Using a Mac. Cannot log directly into page 6. I can log in to page 5 but when I click over to page 6 or click "Next" it logs me out.

Not specific to this version but I always have to F5 after logging in or it wouldn't let me in ( Mozilla ). If I am the only one, it must be my settings though I doubt it, as it never happens anywhere else.

Works on Opera. I had to re-block the ads.

Kind of annoying, but it probably saves the server some traffic.

FF 11 on Win/7 64bit.
It stopped needing me to do it yesterday (or day before), so who knows!
Oh yes - and the forum does seem faster than before the upgrade. Did you do a db reorganization as well?

Well, I did not see any difficulty..... but that is not saying much. Does this mean we can violate rules and blame it on the new updated version? ........just joking a little....
Maybe it is my imagination, but could the resolution be better? It looks more clear..... or am I crazy?
UPDATE 12 hours later.... I am on a Verizon Hot Spot and yet the NRF seems to load much faster. Is this a result of the improvement? If so, great!
And, once again, thanks admin & mods for all the work....

I could not find an exact list of updates for this version of bbpress. My guess is that it was mainly bug fixes and overal perfromance improvements. This is the last update for their "legacy" version. The next update 2.0 is completly new and different - it integrates in the Wordpress database and I don't think I will ever upgrade to it (I compelty messed up the blog database while testing it). If the current version becomes too limited and annoying, I will have to switch to another forum platform. I want to continue to keep the forum and the blog as two separate entities (separate databases, isntallations, etc.)
@spraynpray - I tested it with Chrome on Win 7 and was able to login - try to clean the browser's cache and maybe even the cookies. Checjk also if you are using the latest Chrome version.
@Rx4Photo - what browser are you having problems with on a Mac?
@sevencrossing - I temporary removed the "Report" feature until I figure out how to fix it.
@Paperman - is this happening with other browsers as well? I wonder if it is some kind of a setting in the browser.

I don't mind pushing an extra key if I need to post something, so don't worry :-)

Looking good in Mac Safari.

The problem must be only with Firefox on Windows, because on a Mac it works fine (using the latest version).

Geez... I just logged in with Firefox....on a Mac.... no problem....it seems
But then I do not even know what F5 ing is....I have not had any problems with Firefox, running all over the forum this morning

F5 is one of the the function keys at the top of your keyboard, and in most browsers it's a shortcut key to tell the browser to reload the page.
The issue is that pages that were loaded before I log in need to be refreshed after logging in because it says I'm so still logged out, as if the browser is keeping a cached copy of the pages and you have to tell it there's a new version. Even after logging in I sometimes have to refresh to see new activity on the main forum screen. It's really not a huge deal, but it never happened to me until recently.
It happens on firefox and chrome on my windows and linux pcs, safari on my ipad, and whatever browser is on my android phone.

I made some changes to the cookie files - let's see if you still have to refresh the page in order to stay logged in.

Seems to be working here, on Chrome.
Posted 1 year ago # -
yes, I tried it too and I did not have to log back in
Posted 1 year ago # -
I think I figured it out - I get logged out from the forum if I visit the blog. If I stay on the forum only, my session is retained and I don't have the re-login.
Posted 1 year ago # -
I'm not sure about that. Sometimes I'm already logged in when I connect to NR and most of the times I am not. It usually throws me off when I go to the blog and come back , but sometimes it doesn't and I stay logged in.
The only pattern I found is if I'm logged out, I can't log in without F5 . And sometimes F5'ing once doesn't work - I had to F5 4 times to get logged in a few minutes ago.
