We planned to release 7.0 first, but since it still needs about 2 months of work, and since we have a handful of critical bug-reports for the current version, we decided to release 6.1.5 as soon as next week.
It's a very quick update, so only critical issues will be addressed. Please report bugs found in 6.1.4 here and we'll update the list in the Trac. The 6.1.5 milestone is now added to Trac. We still plan to release a bigger 6.1.x update after 7.0, but this one is needed urgently, so we couldn't wait. With 6.1.5 we plan to change our license pricing and will do license transfers. A new licensing policy will be used for Dolphin too. Waiting for your reports.
Below is the legacy version of the Boonex site, maintained for Dolphin.Pro 7.x support.
The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.

pagination in groups does not work.
pagination on friends list does not work.
Ray IM, if you make it full screen and then shrink it, the text input box and enter key cover the video control buttons and profile image in lower right of IM
more to follow
my account does not work! TRAC/DOLPHIN
login and password.. !!
sorry for the inconvenience, but I can not use your interface to give you the error reports. or gave me an email for the reports of Beug.
you dont have access to enter TRAC, this is for staff and developers only
infact all media limits need to be removed, as old members have filled their quota on my site and its set to the maximum.
there seems to be a limit to the size of emails that can be sent, and they are sent with 1/2 the content missing. and no warning that they are to long.
ray chat should have cookies to save peoples font settings in chat and IM

Groups:
Private groups still show forum and members. Instead of the group being private.

If the Google toolbar is in use in Firefox then half the Ray modules do not work correctly.
And the spell checker in the Google toolbar wreaks havoc on tiny_mce text area box which is used everywhere throughout Dolphin. Perhaps the FCKeditor would be a more compatible choice.
Given the huge popularity of the Google toolbar, esp here in the US given I do not know how see more
Having said that i'm very happy with the efforts you have put to get the products where they are. Keep it up.
yes it is needed, i pushed hard for Boonex to make a 6.1.5 for people that have invested a lot of money on mods that want to keep their 6.1.X sites. its good to hear there will be a 6.1.6 too.
I started using this product just over a month back, but I simply love it. However, a lot more effort is required is to stabilize it. How can we contribute and help the steering team? I vote along with Sammie and Kinuthia

Thank you. Good news.
mbstring have a lot of settings that affect orca and groups and also other things, it is the cause of some of the missing text after someone uses a letter with a hyphen over it, the rest of the post is missing on the standard install and settings for mbstrings, this is why we all need to sing from the same hymbook.
type of server. Dolphin installer will not accept see more
unread messages in ray im and others, can be read via the database, they should be encrypted as they are private and personal, so no need for a webmaster to have access to the messages in the clear, its the same as passwords in the clear,
Ray chat, admin should have the choice see more
If it doesn't do it the first time just refresh and you'll see it eventually.
* Firefox 3 and Safari are not fully compatible with Ray: Noticable issues - chat / IM do not always work, Presence does not always load, Ray widgets tend to lose license information in the admin panel.
* Admin Panel / Moderation: In Dolphin 5 we used to have breakdown of unconfirmed, rejected, suspended, etc.. In 6 we only have inactive or active categories making it see more
quote of the day needs to be fixed.
rayz suite and RMS configuration needs to be attended to and not write to a flat file, and be able to communicate with a mysql database.
double posting in the av chat room.
forceable IM sessions without invite or notice.
remove Desktop from the for sale see more
This is confusing because the reader of such IM message is thinking that the sender is online...
Hudge number of Cupid mails are generated (the same hudge number of MySQL errors too) and none is sent.
Logins - If you login using the ajax popup, you are redirected back to the index page. If you login through the form you are directed to the member.php. Surely both should redirect to the same place, preferably member.php?
(Or maybe will these bugs fixes be easy to find in Trac - Dolphin - Timeline ?)
I think greetings should default to requiring a member be logged in to send it.

but:
8 - The New Beginning
So, 8 years behind. Versions “8” coming soon. We have high hopes and huge plans. The next year is the BoonEx year!
This was mentioned by unoboonex 232 days ago. And now only 4 months before the next year is finished we start reporting 6xxx bugs. Maybe unoboonex means with the next year the calender year, but anyway, it is 8 months ago.
I have sure nothing against unoboonex or the team. see more
Dolphin 8 is just a new core now. We have framework, engine, core modules. But there's no front-end yet. Even when released it will need at least a year to catch up with Dolphin 7 functionality set.
Dolphin 7, as you see, is close/coming soon, but it is a major upgrade. It needs testing, debugging, tuning, etc. Meanwhile we have thousands of DOlphin sites running on 6.x.
6.1.5 is a "patch" see more
Definitely it looks like that I miss understand or miss interpreted your statement in question about V8 from August 2008:
Versions “8” coming soon.
Anyway, I can understand now much better the situation and I really see more
yes this is great news, i pressed for this, but understood your work with D7 so didnt push for it untill after D7, having said that i am sure a lot of people are greatful that you have brought it forward and this Does show that Boonex listen and take onboard what we say, and it is a huge step in the right directoin for customer care and relations.
the script calls for Bottle.mp3 but the file is named bottle.mp3 (lowercase B) this means it dont work in chat and caused 1000's of 404 errors in cpanel logs.

Will there be a upgrade from 6.1.4 to Dolphin 7 or not? With upgrade I mean some web procedure or instruction "how-to".?
The Guestbooks need major security upgrades (Preferably restricted to Logged In Users only)
Orca has some major problems with Ads from Google, and sometimes OpenX. (Orca will generate a blank page with Out-of-Memory errors)
If you "Enable New Gallery" in the admin area, then you can no longer select a photo from the list and have it display. (The caption appears, but the photos continue to rotate)
On another note, it would be a good thing (for slower connections) if the RAY video player had a configuration option that would allow an admin to set the amount of buffering the payer must have in memory prior to video playback.
Also, would it be possible to get a confirmation that BOONEX is still planning to open-source the RAY modules and RMS?
Poll questions on the front page are always displayed even if a user has already voted.
I can reproduce the Ray Presence problem 9 out of 10 times on 4 different machines I have tested it on. That one is obviously a problem. Just log in and click on My Presence. It should fail to load most of the time.
I will have to get more detailed list of specifics for the others. Most of the modules work, but have glitches mostly with editing and administration. I will produce a list when I have the time. see more
Example: You have english as predifined and you also have the spanish language avaliable. If you press spanish the language will apear in spanish, but if you go to a different page, it goes back to english. Also, when you receive a kiss from someone and you click the email to send one back, it would be nice if you could see more
You are not currently an active member. Please ask the site administrator to make you an active member so you can use this feature.
How Admin is not an active member. Admin must enter in any area and can add, delete or modify things.
If we login as member and add classified or other things, again and again we have to login as Admin, as Member to post, check and modify.
I have set the menu to two lines and the top row of items cannot use the submenu at all because they are wiped out before you get to them.
Also - some submenus become the default and display all the time whether the main item is selected or not.
In short - the current system is full of bugs - please fix it!
As well as the submenus being unusable because they disappear when you try to click them - I sometimes get one submenu frozen on all the time. Really bad look as it effects all visitors!
How about some pagination on this forum too guys??
In forums, admin should be given the option to move posts to the right forum topic. I have posts in my forum which is in the wrong place.
What's the point of having a buy option in events and classifieds if people can't actually purchase anything.
Same problem with 'search events' when chosing a specific country...
Lets say you have a fresh dolphin install and this line in inc\header.inc.php reads as follows.
$site['url'] = "http://efriendsrock.com/";
no www in the url.
The you log into the site checking the box to remember you.
So now the site will automatically log you in because a cookie has been set.
Now lets say later you change that config line to add a www to the url like so.
$site['url'] see more
This is no a bug. Dolphin work with url from installation moment. So if you made url without www - site will work with this url, without 'www'. In header.inc.php exists redirect system which will prevent users to use URL site with another prefix (without www in this case) - see code from //check correct hostname comment.

Customize Profile - changed font family
background image of the site will change to a blank page - and you lose the background image
