I think the fact that so far only 45-50 people (out of about 1000 possibly active) have put their hand up to donate, that kind of proves my theory in my last post so far. :roll:

I was discussing this funding issue with another cacher today. I am personally not for the association at this point, all seems too much trouble. political hoohaa + redtape = blah..

But you can use it to post a query and the code writers will jump on it ASAP as past history has shown.
It was also to explain to you that there is development changes going on curently and this "may" be why you are experiencing issues. :wink:
