We may need some programming help. Starting salary will be the same as an admin.

Please PM me.

PHP programming needs far more education than admin tasks. In order to attract those rare talents, I think you should make that:

"Starting salary will be twice an admin's salary."

I think it depends what the admin salary is. If the money is good enough... you'll attract people.
So... how much are we talking about here? Or is it a secret?

Well, looking at L19's revenue model I doubt 1X or 2X matters...

Mh… methinks there IS a difference between one beer and two beers.

I...I can't tell if this is going over people's heads or everyone is just in on the joke... Do I speak up and try to help? Or am I just making a fool of myself?!

Heh I’d also at first thought about that joke but then thought I’d faintly remember some donation request and poll about how to use the donations, and I (just as faintly) remembered that there was some talk about a beer and a pizza or something for the admin

<edit>

I mean, IF it was that certain number then JB could have offered triple the amount, no?

It is only double. We're saving the third beer as a performance bonus, to be awarded if the programmer actually fixes the 'connection timed out' bug.

but is this a php bug? or a sql db bug? (or some combination).

personally, I suspect the database.

That's always been my suspicion, too. That and/or some combination with the datacenter and how they admin the db server(s).

As said, if you're getting a 552 error, there could be many possible reasons as the server is rejecting the connection mid-request. Anything from a DB issue, PHP, http server or even a cron job could be an issue - so I would recommend perhaps changing your request to a LAMP developer (assuming that linux, apache, php and mysql are indeed the technologies being used here), in order to find your successful candidate more easily. Good luck!

I am no expert in this area. But has the admin checked the log files? There must be some clues in the log files.

A performance bonus an excellent motivator!

I have experience in coding PHP, but I can't commit because I'm currently under contract.

If theres anything I could help (coding questions), don't hesitate to ask me.

If style in need hit me up. I of course also work, but can help a bit in the weekend.

The 552 relates to server setup mostly. Might also be a bit of a phpBB clunkiness issues.
