What does 600k users have to do with anything? If the script itself is functional and secure, what's the problem? Sure the script has a few bugs here and there.. i'm trying to help and resolve them.

Disabled it and nothing changed.

i just wanted to address this.

the reason it's in RC as opposed to beta is because at the time of each of the RC's (maybe bar one) there have been zero known bugs. when i went without a bug for three days straight i could've declared it GOLD however i never because i'm actually querying whether or not i should sent it GOLD before i fully phrase the project. See the thing here is that there's a grave error in judgement in regards to GRPS and my standing on it. i never released it because i want to give something to the community, that's actually secondary. i released it because i felt my community could benefit from the added exposure this script would give it. i'm sorry my hearts just not pure enough for me to bang out RC's seven days a week without getting paid. yeah it'd be nice to get BOTM and imo i deserve it for how innovative GRPS has been in regards to enhancements for vBulletin alone, but i don't control the votee. and yeah i'd love to say that my inbox was ringing with donations but it hasn't. however despite all this i continue to work hard to provide the best product that i possibly can.

You talk about the installer? i have no idea what you're on about. i mean honestly. 90% of the problems regarding the installer have been an issue with people not knowing the relative path/directory of their forums. however did i let this deter me? no and as a result come RC9 having a feel for my "target" audience i took that bit out of their hands. the only problem with installation which cannot be called anything bar my fault is that it doesn't work from one sub domain to another. my bad, it's an unforeseen drama. however the alternative as unpretty as it may be is to run the script below the forums directory. now if that's what you call an incomplete installer so be it. i call that an end-user problem in which i've again and again, been willing to check out peoples forums and give them the exact text they need to input. bare in mind, so such a simple task people over at vBulletin.com are being paid for this.

As for complaints about SQL errors? where? as far as i can count, there's maybe two, three as a stretch experiencing time-outs and as a result, i've agreed to look into them. that's as far as it goes.

Now in all honesty, knowing that RC10 is literally that bug (the time-out one, which requires further feedback) and 'fixing' an unforeseen vBulletin option, i think i'm well within my right to say that you're scaremongering and for no good reason at all. You're more than entitled to give your opinion, but don't defend it when it's so cheap and uneducated.

But alas all of this is just my opinion.

I have been using this for a couple of weeks and haven't got one problem

1/ see below.

2/ fixed in RC10

3/ good good.

4/ fixed in RC10

at present it's an add-on i haven't decided what i want to do with yet. to the point that i've not even decided to install it on my site. it's like half installed :ermm:

this is what i would suggest for you to do.

1/ close your board temporarily (about 15 minutes downtime)

2/ open your config.php and add to the top of it (around line 22) 3/ go to each of the pages that give you the timeout problems and at the bottom of your page click on "Explain" is you can't get that far then simply ammend to the url to show at the end.

4/copy and paste (ctrl+a => ctrl+c) the contents of that page to an email and mark each email with the page i.e. groups.php.

5/email them to the address at the bottom of the instructions (install.txt)

6/ when you've sent all of them, then email me and i'll review them.

while i think i know what the problem could be, i really need confirmation.

yup in the next RC (RC10)

can i get a butchers at your site please?

I do believe that brings me up to speed in this thread, have a good Friday night all.
