I've gotten a few of those today as well.

Still having problems with the "logging in" thing, although It hasn't done it yet after I check the "remember me" box, BUT, as I said before, I had never checked that box in the past and didn't have this problem.

(Just adding this info for troubleshooting purposes.)

Out of curiosity, what CMS is the main site using?

It's a custom CMS I wrote called "Soapbox". It is a MySQL database with PHP utilizing the Zend Framework.

How do you like the framework? I've been doing LAMP development for about 10 years now and have been more prone in the past 2 or 3 years to write my own CMS's rather than use something out of the box.

I'm currently developing a site for a Delaware Open Carry/2A Advocacy group out of need and at a pace faster than I'd like, but we currently have a bit of momentum going with some press contacts that I want to take advantage of.

Is Soapbox open source, by chance?

I love the framework, most of the code is very, very well written and designed. There's a few spots where I've noticed some silliness but overall I like it a lot.

In the last few releases they've been duplicating a lot of the good functionality of ruby on rails.

No, it's not even complete. There isn't even an administrative interface currently, I do my administration via SQL queries, heh.

One day it may be though, but even if I did I would have 0 time to support it or write documentation.

Same for me with a lot of my personal sites, heh! If it ever does go open source, let me know -- I love the look and feel of the mainsite.
