The fix is working!!! A very nice bit of trickery indeed by our (computer whizz) kid!!
Ran some more tests with both working and non working links from around the web, and it's working flawlessly, looks like it's ready to roll out, can one of the web admins contact me and i'll give you the code needed to fix it
You, my friend, are a friggin' genius! Remind me to buy you a beer when I see you next!
