Everytime I post a comment, ot try to PM I get the "invalid session" message, any idea why that might be?
Thanks for your help

Well.. It appears that this new (recent) upgrade.. changed the way it works:

Are you on AOL or some kind of dial-up ISP?

Please let me know.. and I WILL find a way to make this work...

did it again, not too sure what's going on, sometimes it worls and sometimes it doesn't.

The problem is some ISPs don't arrange their IP allocation particularly well, either for historical or other reasons ... AOL is one significant culprit. So what happens is that users can jump between completely different Class A (this is a full 32bit block of IPs) networks, e.g. 100.100.100.100 to 200.100.40.40, etc. This renders IP validation completely useless for such situations

Hmm .. please keep me updated on this. What is your ISP (I'm curious)?

AND .. if anyone else encounters this problem.. please let me know.

If this is a major problem for you guys.. I will roll it back to the previous version.. and we shall all be happy.
