got it

changed this in the bridge file to match my admin group

      // Group ids
      $this->admingroups = array(2096);
      $this->guestgroup = 1;

i might be getting mixed up but i thought you supplied the code in the announcement about the update
From the announcement thread:
Manually fixing the weakness will of course only address the vulnerability, but will not fix the non-security-critical issues that have been taken care of in cpg1.4.19
If you need details, start a new thread on this, but it should be pretty obvious: the manual fix described in the announcement thread will only fix the security flaw, but it will not cure the other non-critical bugs that have been fixed with the release of cpg1.4.19. This being said: perform a real, genuine update as suggested in the docs instead of just fixing the vulnerability. Upgrading coppermine is a breeze, so there's no reason to be alarmed or afraid from performing the update.
