From a site development perspective, we’ve had a couple very stable years at YMX. That seems to be unraveling right now because two major groups of people aren’t getting along in the "open source" world.
The people at Joomla and Simplemachines aren’t co-developing a bridge anymore. To existing members, they may notice a couple of old features aren’t working anymore. But the major annoyance is that our system of paying for stuff (like subscriptions) seems to be busted. I’m in the process of looking at a solution to get that working.
So, our bread and butter main things for our existing members are working just fine. But we’re going to have to be creative to sort out a couple other issues. Right now I’m looking at a forum module that will allow people to take care of their subscriptions right through the forums. This may actually be a blessing as it handles renewals and everything.
In other news, there was a power outage at the church last night and I get to get reset the network there. This is the first real test of our new server system. If it worked correctly, the battery back-up should have shut down the server correctly. If it didn’t work… my day off may be ruined.
