Upgraded last night.
Wanted to note for you that in the file mods install file, shouldn't the last one actually be performed on functions_online.php?? It references the private.php file again, but the text that you want changed was not in my private.php file. It was in the functions file, however, and changing it there seems to have worked.
Thanks again!
Psssst - Voted for you for HOTM also.
