Thanks for that. I believe that the automatic updates will force the 
update, but I didn't realise that for manual updates you'd need that. 
Thanks.

I'm hoping that when they login, it's clear what they need to do. If a 
popup is blocked, it shows them an "alert" above the link saying the 
popup was blocked. (Although some browsers don't even let you detect 
that part). The link specifically says that clicking the link will open 
a status window and continue to their site (and gives the truncated url).

Have a try and see what you think. It's a toss up between a minor 
inconvenience for users, and the ability for the login system to work on 
more systems! Although, if the new Mobile login system works well, I'll 
look at how I can make the current login work better using some of that 
rewrite.
