Steven,
I have included one of the sites I am developing that uses connections in this response. I can not give you admin privileges due to security policies within are department. I have loaded up 7.3.5 to show you the issue we are experiencing with that version. I know you mentioned it seemed like a logic problem and was resolved in 7.3.6 but I want you to be able to look and make sure that was correct and not a mistake on my part for not providing enough info. In version 7.3.6 I loose all my connections on the page and in the dashboards control panel as well, nobody appears and I am given no results when looking at the page. In 7.3.5 it keeps my entries but not the photos. If you scroll down on the page I provided you will see near the bottom that there are a few connections with images but it just shows the spinning wheel. When I look at the html in firebug it shows an <image> tag there for the person but no “src=” . If I add a new connection in 7.3.5 it will show the image and the src as being “wwwroot/wp-content/connection_images/” and will show my connections from previous versions but will not show any of the images from earlier versions. In 7.3.1 as I mentioned earlier the src was, “wwwroot/wp-content/blogs.dir/34/connection_images/”, which is specific to images in that blog. The current version 7.3.6 pulls up no results with (‘CN_MULTISITE_ENABLED’, FALSE); or not and I have not added any new connections to 7.3.6 as well since it seems like it might be reading and writing information to an entirely different string in the Database as it does not find Connections entries or information from older versions. If loading up 7.3.6 or 7.3.1 can help you figure out the issue I can do that as well today.
