Hi all,

Well, I took the plunge and upgraded to 2.5.2, my forum has been up and running for about 18 months now.

Some things have changed and I'm not sure whether things are broken or if it's just changes in the upgrade.

1) Images: When users upload a JPG file, it used to be that clicking on it would bring the image up in the browser, now it want me to open it up in the external viewer program. Is there any way to change this back?

2) Try as I might, I can't enable "Use Aliases" or "Multiple Host Login", even if I edit GLOBALS.php manually, it doesn't seem to work.

3) The Logged in users list seems to act erratically and I can't see the invisible users (when I'm admin) any more.

Any ideas here or pointers? I'm liking the new version, just some minor glitches.

Fixed in 2.6.0 I think it has to do with how browsers handle attachments. If I recall correctly it displayed images in some browsers and tried to have you download them in others.

Use aliases should work, I know I was trying it in 2.5.2, multi host login I am not sure, all I know is that it works in 2.6

As of 2.5.0 logged in user list shows cached data (10 minutes controlled via admin control panel) so you are not looking a the 'live' data.

Are admin users allowed to see invisible in 2.6?

How stable is RC11? When you expect a stable release in the 2.6 tree?

Thanks for your help!

The admin can see what the invisible users are doing, however on on the logedin list shown on the front page the admin will not see details about invisible users.
