  Doh! :)

  Consider him informed. :)

  I just took a look at it, and the profiles were indeed down. What happens
is that the program gets an exclusive lock on the directory so that only
one profile is updated at a time. Apparently, that lock was obtained and
the computer crashed before it was released. So, any profiles that were
submitted since Aug. 1st were just sitting around, waiting for the lock
to be released. Some may have given up and quit. I removed the lock,
and there are currently about 5 profiles waiting "in line". :)

   Thanks for the "heads up"! Hopefully the profiles are working OK
again.
