Tony,

Thanks for that catch.  There will still be some things like that around
that are being changed. It has been fixed.

Your node is registered, but when you click on the node number it is
bringing you to the stats.pttlink.org server--and your node isn't stats
posting to there.

To fix this you will need to change on your rpt.conf file the
statspost_url line from stats.allstarlink.org to stats.pttlink.org. Once
you do that it will start showing up on the stats server and will be
there when you click on the node.

Another good way to see what your node is registered to in the database
is to do a DNS lookup:

# dig 27154.nodes.pttlink.org  TXT
