I could put in some sort of locking mechanism but, for the moment, I can't be arsed. Sorry, but it's true. In general, plugins (and hence stuff configured by email) don't update preferences (the fact that the Submit one does it is actually a bit of a hack) - this will be done by the web interface or nacho so if people are stupid enough to be messing round with the two interfaces at the same time then, well, they get what they deserve. Even if they are then the worst that happens is that one of the people doing the updating will just get the wrong value and they can change that later. In short. Fsck 'em :) SimonThere's stuff above here
