I am in no way qualified as a beta tester, however if you want to see if it's idiot proof feeel free to include me. ????

I'm NOT saying this applies to you FL/GA, but nothing is foolproof because fools are so ingenious!

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the interest. I haven't done it like this before and thought it might be nice to have a small group checking things before victimizing all 12,000 members. ???? ???

I have a test site setup and I've installed the beta, but it's pretty rough around the edges. I'm going to wait until the first round of fixes are released in beta2 before I open the gates. That shouldn't take too long though, I'm thinking maybe a week or so.

Plus, I decided to make the updated site run on PHP 8.0 -- if you keep up on these things, you'll know that PHP 8 has some big improvements to security and speed. With that installed on the test site, I can help achieve compatibility. In my initial tests, it seems that it's already 95% compatible.

The beta site will be accessible by invitation only. Once it's ready to test, I'll post here again plus you'll receive an invitation via email. ????

Thanks again for your willingness to test!

Here's a sneak peek:
