Reverting back to Version 0.70 solved it.
You see I’d read the stickies BUT it didnt dawn on me that I had that bug. I thought my problem was a result of something I’d done wrongly. I even have DHT connected which I didnt have before, that should have been a clue.
So this is a big thank you to all the guys who so patiently read our complaints and said again and again ‘Revert back to Version 0.70’.
