Re: [Phpgroupware-users] Personal, default and forced settings reset themselves

[Guillaume Courtois]

Hi,

I've had this kind of problem a few monthes ago, I did not have time to dig,
and now it's gone. All I have done is upgrade cvs version of phpGW and all the
servers (apache2, php, ...)

Maybe if you can, try to upgrade ?
