Hope it helps someone - a lot of work went into the play testing...IGNWed, 05 Oct 2011 19:40:00 GMTWith the site contents going 100% free, developer resources were still behind a login. The conversion to free necessitated code changes which broke the login routines. These have been simplified and rebuilt. The results are a fully successful security model with 99% reliability on the routines working. Sometimes the admin functions are locked out for unknown reasons, but a temporary fix was put in place and the site login routines re instituted. The temp=true temporary access restriction was removed from many materials and a complete play scenario access model put into place; contents will be migrated to that over time.
