What is the status of the new patch?

[lorraine]

None of my frequently read groups are working correctly now. The subject contains an image tag or table data with profile info,  and the author is not correctly identified.   I hate to be a nag*, but when can we expect another patch?   I have no clue if Yahoo has stopped with the changes or not.  How long do they have to stop before you consider them really stopped?

Thanks,
Lorraine

*Actually, that was a lie.  Sometimes I really enjoy being a nag.  ;D

Hi Lorraine,

I have to come clean & tell you that Alex has moved to Kiev & he has no access to a PC at home at the moment. He has a day job & I hire him as & when. He told me he'd have a PC again after 2 - 3 weeks. Its been 2 weeks now & I've emailed him to see whats happening.

I'm looking at this myself as I have the source code but I  haven't the first clue about C++ & regular expressions so I'm a bit stuck. I thought I'd be able to do it myself but C is a bit harder than I thought.

I think I'll just email the users & see if I can find anyone with the requisite experience.

Cheers,

Wilson.

Wish I could help, but I can't.  Thanks for the reply though.  I'll just turn email back on for some groups until you can come up with something.

Thanks.

Got an email from Alex today. He thinks he will have a fix by Saturday or Sunday.

Cheers,

Wilson.

Yay!!   Alex is my hero.   Should I send him a gift or just throw money?  

Thanks for the update.

Yep, Alex is my hero too!! Heck if I weren't married with four kids, I'd probably throw myself at his feet, LOL!

Seriously, though I am glad that you guys are able to work on it again, and I wish you nothing but good luck!
