Poor Connection

Rootdude, Chris and Steve.
Thanks for the support. Longpolling was already enabled but by changing scantime to 1, the "Pool 0 is issuing work for an old block" message was minimized. I also have seen a 25 percent increase in my hashrate.

@Steve - I have scan time = 1; how do I know if long polling is enabled? I am getting these messages in my output as well.

If its visable from the pool side, perhaps a pop-up notice on the earnings page. A prohashing clippy that says "It looks like your using bfgminer. Do you need some help?"
