its pissing me off. does anyone know why this is showing PLEASE HELP

If you follow the address you are having the problems with on line 79, it returns

charge=6.8 days=1 err_msg=OK

So its not the link that is fault. The connection timed out error means that you couldn't contact that site when you tried. Do you still get an error now? It could just be that the server was unreachable when you tried earlier.

If you are still having problems, can you post line 70-80 of the AusPost modules? I don't have that installed at the moment.

yep its fixed it was a problem with the website where it gets its info

I had this same problem last weekend... Here I was thinking I had screwed up my cart... Taught me a valuable lesson, when confronted with errors, think outside the square, and think what function each module is trying to acheive and follow it till you find a prob.

Seems Aust Post's own servers can cause us some grief from time to time..
