We do a bit of free web hosting for some sporting clubs at work. I shouldn't need to spend time testing packaged software, I just want to install it and have it work.

DNN shouldn't need to be a big part of my life, I have other more important things to do, like paid work for clients. I want to install DNN and have the portal admins run their own sites.

I don't want a stream of abusive emails about the portals not working. I don't want to waste late nights working of stuff like this.

It's 10:45pm and I'm still in the office, another night without seeing the kids. It's not even paid work.

DNN v5 is a complete disaster and a gross embarassment for whoever was involved. If it had been flagged as a beta release I would have stayed away from it.

well, the point is - why put DNN v 5 up on the main download page when it is know to cause enormous amounts or grief?

At least mark it as "beta" or "pre-release" as a warning not to use it in a production environment.

Hopefully people will see this post and warning before downloading DNN V5.

DO NOT TOUCH DNN V5, IT IS UNSTABLE AND WILL CAUSE YOU GRIEF.

Are you saying everyone who downloads DNN needs to test it first?
