As much as many have been referring to the new release (known for now as "Project Stratus") as "CF2020", it's looking like it may be instead "CF2021", if I am reading the tea leaves right. Let me explain (Hey, the bright side is that 2020 is a year many want to forget, anyway.)https://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2020/10/5/looks_like_cf2020_will_be_cf2021Seattle CFUG - Leon O'Daniel on Integrating Your ColdFusion App with the Thinkific Platform.Wednesday, October 14, 2020 - 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM PDTOnline via ZoomThinkific is one of the top platforms for online course delivery.

However, after I was done with that experiment, it got me thinking about what would happen if a long-running CFThread tag called back into a parent page context after the parent page had timed-out. This is just a quick sanity check to make sure that this will work as one might hope in Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61.https://www.bennadel.co...
