    Actually, I think that stats-cheating is not the main concern (although I suppose it's a valid one). My understanding is that the source (especially the protocol portion) is not open because a...

    Not only is it an old thread, but it refers to what is now an old version. The handler on my website is the old one (for use only with client version 1.0.0). The version of the service handler...

    Eh, rough luck, lad...

    Well, it's certainly easy enough to check and see if this is the problem. I'll get you a new version to test in a day or so (I'm flu-ridden at the moment...trust me, you don't want to run code...

    Here's a thought, folks - Stricker's problem seems to have manifested itself on a KeepVisible restart initiated by the service handler. Are the rest of you experiencing the problem using the service...

    You need to add three DWORD values under that key:

    "cache" - with the value 2
    "k" - with the value of whatever k you were working on (you can find this in your sb.log file)

    Well, I don't know about *rest* - I'm going as a chaperone and tour photographer for a Youth Choir of 37 high-school students (one of whom is my daughter). It'll be lots of fun, though!
