Raw message 

Thanks for testing it.
Have you actually been able to test if the bandwidth control limits it 
properly?
I've added values down as low as 64 kbit/s and as high as 8 Mbit/s. The 
idea for in groups having only a select box is that it's easier to 
validate. The biggest reason for having a select box for bandwidth is 
that bandwidths are something that people don't understand well 
(difference between Mbits and MB/s, etc etc), so having a dropdown box 
of presets that display in multiple formats will hopefully get around 
that issue.

Regarding the Nokia phones. Do you know if these phones support 
javascript? I've written the javascript popups to fail cleanly, so if a 
popup is blocked it still logs in and instead of opening a popup to 
display the status, it shows the status in the main page. What I am 
planning on doing is making it detect mobile phones that can't login 
properly and displaying a customised login just for them.
Have you tried the non-javascript login on mobile phones? (Link down the 
buttom of login form).

Thanks

Tim
