| Many thanks Mark, I've seen this myself from our forums. I'll keep you posted, this of course will be resolved before final release. You could update InstantASP_ExceptionLogMethod application setting within the web.config to ToFile as opposed to ToEmail, this will log the exceptions to a file within the root, it may ease the email flood from bots still looking for your old pages for the moment.

Is THAT what this is? Bots or people hitting old pages? Cripes... that would at least make me feel better knowing that there isnt some mysterious error that I cannot seem to get to reproduce.

| Yep, the Task querystring (doEmail, doPM) has now changed to an integer which represents values from an enumeration. It's attempting to convert the doEmail to an int and throwing the exception. Don't panic it's not some mysterious bug

No panic.. just get a WHOLE lot of these (guess thats good, means the search engines like me)... but I am wondering if theres some way to sense bots and avoid errors or offer redirection or something rather than the bots hitting the error pages and generating all these emails (yes, I can move to file but right now I like the emails for testing and immediate notification of issues).

Has there been any development to redirect these things.. Im getting a TON of them.. its great to see that google is so diligent with my site but its getting a little annoying having all the emails and Im afraid that google isnt getting past that point.
