Is there a hack for this to read the Pages made to member like the PM hack ? In case needed.

[phonexpo]

Is there anyway of making it that when you press enter on the keyboard the message sends instead of using the mouse?

TIA

Have you tried the latest version? try to upgrade and disable avatars then see if that would help reducing the server load.

Have you ever edited any of the pager's templates? If so, please revert them to use the updated one.

[NuclioN]

That could be...this whas not instructed in the upgrade txt file though

[uae]

well' that's right, but I thought that most poeple should know about it, cos if you happned to edit any template and there was a new version or an updated version of that edited template, you will always need to revert it
