    I don't think that the users will apply the patch. Twitter will have to apply it to their website.

    Sorry folks, I phrased myself badly there........... I meant that you would have to look and see if it had been patched.

    Holy Crap! It's MicroBurn (LOL.. I'm actually on here quite a lot every day -- just don't have anything to add sometimes or get too busy with work and when I'm ready someone else has said the thing I wanted to say).
