 * Hi, seeing your post it reminded me to report back. By using the Media Manager
   to create different folders to keep locked files in, and moving the generated.
   htaccess rules to those folders instead (have to make sure paths are correct)
   I was able to get it working like I wanted. It would be good to see a note about
   slow page serving in the option to lock files; it took me a long time to figure
   out that this was the cause of my problems. Or options to implement some of these
   workarounds in the next version. At any rate, thanks for putting out the plugin!

 * Hi,
 * I have been having major issues with this as well. I think the problem lies in
   that all the files in the uploads directory are being passed through the .htaccess
   redirect, and this is preventing cacheing. If it’s possible to create a folder
   in the media area only for locked files, and put the .htaccess that checks locks
   in that folder only it seems like the rest of the images could be cached as normal.
   I am going to try using a combination of this plugin and a Media Manager plugin
   that allows for the use of different folders to see if I can achieve faster loading.
   I’ll check back in to let you know how it goes!

 * 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?
