This upgrade not only comes with new features here in the forum. The main changes lie below the hood. Most specifically, the session, login and logout management has has an overhaul. So this affects the site, too. Please report any errors or just strange occurences.

List of changes: http://www.spamboard.net/query?status=closed&milestone=5.2+RC1

On the main site I'm getting debugging information at the bottom of each page.

Same here.

edit: Hmm... Looks like the quote function is borked now too. Simply including the quote bbcode tags in a post no longer works. {/edit}

Got this error when randomly clicking on a random game from the Recommended Game: (in this case, Battle Bugs):

Thanks guys, the debugging output shouldn't appear anymore now (does it?) and the error with the comments should be fixed as well.

As for the quote tag, this fails, because there is an unclosed [s] tag within the quote. Although I'm not extremely happy with this, there is no way the forum can distinguish between attempted code tags and regular text which looks like code tags. So the board has to assume this is incorrect board code and once it finds this, it stops parsing to avoid running into real trouble.

Here's the same quote with [s] replaced by [x]:

Yep, the debugging stuff no longer appears on the site.

Didn't notice the [s] tag stuck in amongst all that debugging stuff.
Most forum scripts simply ignore any unclosed tags like that, simply rendering them as text (makes no diff if it's in the middle of some other tag or not).

Yes, but other forums don't guarantee well-formed XML output ;)
