Is that somekind of scotish shower ? Because you said:

http://forum.yetanotherforum.net/yaf_postst10872_Forum-throwing-errors-after-DNN-551-upgrade-and-forum-upgrade.aspx

I now realise I am just talking to myself. So, perhaps I have to accept that Yetanotherforum is an excellent product when installed from new, but does not upgrade very well.

I spent too many hours now on a site that I can no longer use Yetanotherforum. I have uninstalled, and reinstalled, to find that whenever I click anything on the forum page, it takes me straight back to home page. There is no option for me to do anything any more.

Oh well, it was good while it lasted.

I hope a forum moderator can read this whole topic and just delete it.
I have think I can not continue with these forums unless I just stick to one version forever.

Thanks for ride.. pity it was never for long!

 YES ... THAT WAS ME...  did you read the posts after that??

I got a smackdown and deserved it... NEVER EVER USE A BETA ON A PRODUCTION SITE...   I broke that cardinal rule. One of the issues with open source / free software is that the public has the opportunity to test and it is through that that bugs are fixed, and this changes the nature on how free software should be used.

In the early days of DotNetNuke, I lost customers, business and sanity for goodness knows how long being all excited living on the edge trying everything new on production sites.  I go over enthusiastic and didn't read the big BETA in the install... *sigh* and it got me.

And I'm a bit fiery at times with my frustrations .. . as some people might know.

One thing I don't do is hide behind anonymous complaints and I am not perfect (although my husband of 23 years, and my grand children think I am).

So NO, no Scottish shower Costas Zividis, just broke a rule, using a beta on a production site and someone else had experienced the same issue - it was to do with some permission changes and it's been fixed.   I should go in and update my comment.  I got more sleep after that - because you must know what it's like to work late at night and do something like..... an upgrade that goes wrong - DNN does have the record for me losing more sleep than any other thing I've done.

I have since learnt my lesson and now I have an offline snapshot of my larger sites and test until my hearts content our new DEV SERVER sitting right here in my office.  In fact, it was that problem that finally made me change our infrastructure to make it easier for me to create a dev environment locally because it was not as good as it is now.

And I need to tell you - the forum not always been as good as it is now.  And that is the case for DNN - I have been so close to using other CMS solutions due to the ongoing problems that have plagued DNN as well as also being very critical of DNN, but since promising myself to NEVER use the very latest DNN - unless there is a security issue, we all play pretty well together now. I am happy to let others solve the problems whereas in the olden days, I wanted to provide as much support as possible reporting bugs and issues to developers, but many people took this as a personal attack on the software and I was unable to provide a solution since I don't code. I can only describe problems and when they occur, so I realised that I should spend more time providing help for people who wanted it, which I do now.

So thanks for being the star Costas Zividis to bring this to everyone's attention as it now reminds me to say -

I DID LEARN AGAIN, LATE AT NIGHT, NOT TO DO AN UPGRADE ON A WEBSITE IF YOU WANT SOME SLEEP AND NEVER USE BETA SOFTWARE ON PRODUCTION SITES.

I still stand my ground - this is the best forum ever and in spite of my frustration, I am incredibly impressed with what has been done.
