 * I set this up previously on a test site and everything went smoothly. However,
   now trying to replicate this on my live site it is failing to patch the last 
   file, function_user.php. I tried to copy my function_user.php file from the working
   installation to the new one, however it still says “Error”. When I click to patch
   the file, I get the “Patched file” message at the top, however still no workie.
   What can I do?

 * Follow up: After digging in the code a little I am thinking that the reason it
   is not passing the patch test is because my test server is on linux but the production
   one is on windows (doesn’t make sense, I know, but that’s what I’m working with).
   The function that tests the patch looks for linebreaks \n\t\t\t and tabs as part
   of a string comparison and I think those are coming out differently from the 
   windows machine.
 * However, if I alter this function to just return true no matter what ( wpbb_validate_user2_patched
   on common-functions.php line 552) I can get it to pass the test however I still
   cannot login/logout of the forum.
 * Thoughts?
