I have written lots of md files and I now have over 100+ images to “import” into a cms file folder. Like a good boy I use **SQUASH** to reduce my file size and now I have the word “squashed” after each “name” of .png.  
@dan what’s the easiest way to get rid of “squashed” or do I have to rewrite each md file?  
TIA

I have just downloaded v 3.1 and it asked to validate used my v3 code but went to a “forbidden” page and would not update.

Hmm, that forbidden page on 3.1 sounds like the licence check going to the wrong URL. Can you send a screenshot of the exact page it lands on? We’ll get this sorted.
