... and that is exactly why I asked what I did, so that we know what not to do.

Things is, I use Yappari daily but I don't stay connected and so log on and off. When the protocol changed, and I saw the connection error, I held off using Yappari and came to this forum - that told me what was happening.

Problem is if Yappari hammers away at the server after a protocol change that may be enuff to get noticed. And trying to register dug the hole deeper.
