There are other problems as well; you're apparently running into some of them. Version 2.10.2 has been the standard version of news for over a year. 2.10.3 is now in beta test. I presume it will be released via mod.sources soon -- could some knowledgeable person please post a message discussing its status? The bitmap is gone from 2.10.2. This is good: the bitmap was too easy to corrupt. I recommend that you convert to 2.10.2 as soon as possible. Someone in your area should have the sources. Will some kind soul that talks to, or is geographically near, adiron, please provide them with the new sources?
