Any reason he can't come here? It's not like sign-ups are still frozen.

No reason why someone from here cant go there either. Anyway, I got him to post a log using a default activity. Halfway through the log is this

and further down in the loader times it is only expecting a file size of some 12K bytes, but when I try the same activity it starts with 37.3K bytes, so something is very much wrong, but I do not know what.

That one is the standard "logging not working in windows"
I get one of these every run. I run win7.
I have tried all hits in google to fix it.
I am not willing to rebuild to fix it.
