I've installed your who's online plugin, it's great. However, when I click the link in the admin panel it just goes to the front page of my blog. Have I done something wrong?

It in fact only had a problem if a 0 was in the domain and did not recognise it as a number. It looks like PHP's loose type casting caused the problem. The problem is now sorted.

It looks like PHP’s loose type casting caused the problem.

Unfortunately places such as eBay are too willing to allow it to continue. I will look at why the script is not working properly. I have just tried it and you are indeed correct. Looks like there are some other breaks in it as well possibly caused by the upgrade in PHP I recently carried out. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Hi Patrick

I contacted the seller to make sure that it was really all 4 letters and really the acronym VOIP. His reply was that he wishes it were but that the o was really a 0. In the title and body copy he used the letter o. He never used a 0 or mentioned that the o was a 0. Scum! I tried your script just now using V0IP.com. It did not recognize the 0 as a number. All results were green. Another common scam is to use the letter V twice to make it look like a W. VV or W. With some fonts it's hard to tell the difference. The same with using the letter lower case letter l (eye) for Capital I (el). They look identical. Is there anyway your tool could uncover that type of deception? Thanks. Patrick Hi,
