 * Wayne,
    Updated this morning to 1.8.6. Site crashed immediately. Got this error
   message. Hope you fix this soon. Otherwise a great plugin. Parse error: syntax
   error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /hermes/bosnaweb10a/b1621/xxx.xxxxxxxxxxx/public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/postie/lib_autolink.php on line 36

 * Thanks for the report. I suspect you have PHP 5.3 or earlier. The next release(
   today) will fix this issue.
