  the validation page appears to have changed with no option to validate. Anyone have any idea why and where we can perform a validation easily?

  
  

  Hi Carl

  There is no ordinary link to it now - but the original shortcut still works.....

  Thanks, I will just have to remember the extra level on the link. Wonder why they are making it less visable.

  I suspect because of the demise of the Office GA program, they decided that manual validation shouldn't be needed any more? (I wonder what the hit-rate for that page it?) All normal links to the page died on 17th Dec.

  Hi Carl,

    I sent you a mail regarding these changes, back in December, but it was to your pioneernet address. I have now resent the mail to your hotmail account.
