Hi folks,
Is anyone with an on-rev account on Pancake having difficulties at the moment?
I've lost http ftp access to my on-rev account and company website in an
add-on domain - though I still have c-panel access?

Soon, we will be shipping books again. I think I should inform you about

Hi Martin,
it seems that this is an on-rev wide problem (not only tio) and that only
accounts with dedicacted ip-addresses are affected.
Support is already working on this problem.

How about going into a polling mode, checking the dragData[files] every
second or so... it should start out empty, but as soon as the user starts to
drag a file from the desktop, it should have something in it.
Just a thought,

Ken,
I don't think you even need to go into a polling mode, as soon as user drags an
item onto a stack it triggers a 'dragMove' message so trapping that should work
on both platforms.
Tried a few tests with a small stack and tackling the problem from a different
angle seems to do the trick on
