If you need a tester from user side then I'll be able to apply but I've never had much in the way of forum software training.or most of what you want. I have some experience in html and minimal experience in PHP but i might have forgotten most of it to be honest.

What if you just want people to go in, change settings, and see if they can break things?

Because I can totally do that.

"Be available to work on Technology issues and projects as they appear." That's very vague. Would you provide a couple examples of things you've asked your team to do recently?

Here is a quick list I could throw together by skimming our form topics / off the to of my head... We have been troubleshooting a number of site errors that users run into, as an example the infamous copy/ paste [COLOR=#3E3E3E$4 white-space: normal]bug[/COLOR]. We also have had a number of small site updates / security patches (and the breach last year). A number of projects related to raising process, a database build, group themes, the big prep and testing of a fair number of forum / CMS software. We also answer site related questions in AtWT. A lot of what we do is find ways to break the software we use so we can come up with solutions before anyone even knows there was an issue. :D

There is more but I'd have to dig more for detail.

Biggest project for the next little bit would be the testing and implementing Xenforo though that likely wont be the only active project.

I hoped this helped.
