Im trying to install cabbage on another laptop. Where can i find my address book contacts so i dont have to put them all in again on new laptop? Is there a single file i can copy over?

on 2000/xp:
in c:\documents and settings\<username>\application data\cabbage

on vista:
c:\users\<username>appdata\roaming\cabbage

copy over that entire directory and it should be exactly the same as the old install

Thats great. Thanks

o2 is working again but it's a temporary measure. o2 people can now point the program to :

http://cabaal.org/cabbage/send.php

following these instructions:

my hosting got suspended because the o2 script was taking too many server resources. at first i just thought it was being used more but it's looking like it's just because it's waiting so long for the website to respond and spawning extra processes, probably to retry.

so that website is so fcuking brutal they've actually got my account suspended. well done o2

Sam what I noticed is that if didn't send in the first 10 or 15 seconds, it wouldn't send in the 2 minutes or whatever it was that it waited so I'd cancel it manually and then just click send again and it would send then. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the server side of things and how it could have affected it?

Yep I have this exact same experience when trying to send.

clicking stop and sending again wouldn't have been what caused it. but the times when it took 2 minutes were most likely the problem but they happen just because the o2 website is crap. that never happens to me with either my meteor or vodafone logins

Just a thought but is it possible in the mobile version to change the hang up button which is currently "Exit" to "Hide", this may just be a feature that will work with s60 phones but would be handy so ya don't have to wait for the texts to send.

You already don't have to

Just press the menu button and it'll minimise and should pop back up when it's finished sending

ah nice one, never noticed that one.

o2 sending has been disabled for the moment until i figure out a way to handle their crap website without crashing the server on my hosting. see here for details:

it's not a permanent solution. i've made some modifications to the script and i'm testing them at the moment.


did cabbage just tell you that a charged message was sent? that's what happens when it reports back 0 messages left because o2 will allow you to keep sending when all your messages are gone. it must be a problem with the modifications made to the script which i'll take a look at shortly. so if it was just that cabbage said it was charged don't worry, it just means the script reported back "0". also that means your message most likely didn't send

or did it actually charge you?

how do you mean everything is fine? when you send a text does it report back saying "message sent. X messages left" where X is a number between 1 and 300?

Are you sure it said -1 messages left and not -1 invalid login details?

What's most likely happened is you have the wrong login details set and you've tried it too many times so now your account is locked out. Try logging into the website as normal and see if it works

The login details should be exactly the ones you use for logging into the vodafone website and your phone number should be in the format 087, not +35387 or anything like that.

What happens when you click more->extras->check for update?

is it saying that on the vodafone website when you try to log in?

my program won't work unless you have the right login. where did you get the login that you're using?

you can reset your password on the website if you remember the answer to the secret question you set up or you can call customer care to do it too.

unless you never set up your online account?
