yeah i get that, i think they may be making a fix for it... BTW, 0.8 is much better Ed :) it has auto image blocking in case of spam etc, and a cool status animation thing so you can more easily tell when it's working (rather than the tiny icon in the top right)

Our anticipated 1.0 release will focus primarily on bug fixing and polish work following 0.9 in mid to late October of 2004.
