I don't think its a matter of being forced to update, but like I said else where that I had updated to the newest version from 2.28 to 2.29 because I was experiencing this error. Then to come home after 8 days, to have it say the same thing and no new version to download. I downloaded the 2.29 thinking that I might not have installed it right and when I went to DL something else, told I couldn't because I would have to wait till 24 hours was up. That I would be exceeding my DL limit. I found 2 solutions and used the easier one, which was to add the 3 lines of code, because it wasn't in the .ini file.
Now to get PBX to work with my Pin2DMD setup.
