Re: [Ql-Users] QL Homepage
Can we stop with this nonsense with security certs now, both qlforum.co.uk and dilwyn.qlforum.co.uk have valid certs as can be identified by clicking on the padlock in the address bar of your browser. The main cause of this issue is that virus checkers are scams, simple as that. They make money by claiming to fix problems that dont exist. One update that dilwyn.qlforum.co.uk needs is to remove any hardcoded http:// absolute links as you want the browser to auto choose the protocol based on what the top level page is using. That will get you a fully clean security report from browser!

That looks right to me, assuming uQLx based code.
Lookup%(SCR_YLIM) will give 161 (its the last extension installed by uQLx), and
SCRXLIM is the first user one at 162.
