"The requested URL /mambots/system/pda/installpatch.php was not found on this server." The odd thing is that I checked ant the installpatch.php was present.  I would be quite grateful for a solution Cheers Hi

I wanted to share an issue with you. When using the mxcomment system (javascript based) I cannot display page content unless I set - use script to yes - option. With mxcomment disabled page displays with - use script to no - option. It appears the mxcomment component and bot is interfering with the pdabot working with scripts disabled. btw/ both these bots are installed in the /system folder - thanks. for now I need my comments more than the pda version of site but I would love a workaround.
