Before you start

I'm about to start a community of a university which will have approximately 15000 users; but the authentication system does not let a user open a new window ,i.e. with his sign-in name. If the system will stay like this or there is no work on this bug; i'll consider other CMS's. Thanks by now.
With kindest regards.
Lashae-

I've read the issues list, and although I'm installing on *nix, I want to use some dates outside of Unix epoch for "history posts". If I make this change, I think I want to change two or more of the db tables. The two candidates that jumped out were "node" and "entry", but I'm new to drupal's terminology - any suggestions as to whether I should just change all the time columns to double and ensure that I convert all log times, current times, etc., to doubles via the adodb_* toolset? Or should I be using mysql's datetime?

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

We're hesitating between Notify and Subscription modules for a new Drupal site. Is Subscription doing the same that Notify but with a wider range of options from the user point of view? Are both equally stable? Has anybody tested both? Could you recommend websites using them?

Thank you.

My curent setup 4.2.0 and I want to upgrade to the latest version.

Is it simply a matter of backing up both the database and the directory installation, copying the new version over and running the upgrade script?

Is it that easy?

I'm using 4.2 right now but have run into bugs with the queue and taxonomy, I've searched the forums and have found no resolution to my problem.

I read that 4.3.2 doesn't have the problems with queue and I would like to upgrade. My question is, I'm also using these modules.

They all say that they are for 4.2, but if I upgraded would they still be useable?

I am wanting to set up a new site for a campaign to promote Commons-based peer production methodologies for governments. The other contender was phpBB as I really like that forum and have found that for campaigns like this that forums are the most important aspect of the site.
