What would you like to help out with?
I think most of us are limited to standing ready with the fearsome brow mop.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
And I do wonder--would a "remember me on this computer" option be useful in addition to the "remember me ALWAYS" we already have implemented?
If it were there, I would absolutely use it.

I'm a) a decade out of the industry and b) about to head into summer camp fundraising and tour, but I'd be game. I could probably start taking a look at parameterization, at least digging through and seeing what was site specific that would need to be generalized. Even if I didn't do the coding, just the checking, would that still be useful to you? Once I got in and puttered a bit it would quickly be clear if I'd be able to do any code or not.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hey, thanks, Liese!
Let me just make sure the main test site has the full up to date production code and then I'll give you credentials. Any dynamic pages where we're making any assumptions about the site's name (Phoenix as well as Buffista) we should pull out. I *think* the emailing should be fine--it defaults to the email address of user #1.
Profile address good?

Okay--the local test site is running the latest PHP 4.x code. I have tested the basic functionality on a 5.2 server and found the big issues, but I think it's ready for a first wave of five or so testers.
Can I have five volunteers? And please tell me if your profile address is the one I can use to send you the test site information.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What do you need? You all are speaking a language I don't understand.

ita, I can test, but I'm not sure what you need?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But yeah, I'm happy to do whatever.

Just use the new board and see if anything breaks. Click on every link, type in every box, search everything, do everything.
We're not concerned with any of the pages ending in .HTML, just the .PHP ones, which is where the heavy lifting happens.
When something breaks, here's what I need to know:
- What is the URL?
- What time did it happen?
- What did you do?
- What did you expect to happen?
- What happened instead?
And if you could indicate which tests/functions you tried even if they didn't fail, that will help to tell what's not broken.
I'll email you with the URL to the new environment. Profile addresses?
