i fixed the imbd spider, but for some reason, starting a few days ago.
i can only get 'any' spider working from inside the database itself.
Hit alt-F2 choose database, choose movie, go to spider tab, hit imbd and search.

that works fine. but inside the skin all spiders stopped working.

any ideas?

below is my imbd.., you can copy it back into your spider.
