- updated Flash player detection to accomodate the latest Flash version 9 release

- cleaned-up all the sign-in validation codes, also added more meaningful error/info messages
- allow limited name changing (for players who have previously been banned due to their screen names)
- made a couple of changes to the player profile update page, also made it more secure

- fixed a bug in the chat filter that causes it to be a lot stricter than it should be
- fixed a bug in the game count check entry in the Newbies rooms

- optimized some game server uptime checks to make it more accurate and functional

- fixed a server game check that should auto-restart a room if a game has not been played for a certain amount of time (which may mean the game room has been frozen already)… this “feature” has always been in place but was apparently broken due to some recent server changes
- made some changes to possibly fix the rare game freezing issue for good (so above check isn’t necessary anymore, but is still there just to be on the safe side)
- adjusted some chat timer functions
- changed some chat management functionalities that were previously not working very accurately due to some recent changes

- fixed some incorrect links to the Newbie rooms that were affected by some recent changes
