   The problem here is with your logic and I noticed this right after I sent that   
   last message.   
      
   If you break the ACS down using a T and F for true/false for each value you can   
   see what I mean.  Lets look at a user who is S255 but not invisible:   
      
   (!s255|!OI)   
   (!T|!F)   
   (F|T)   
   FALSE OR TRUE = TRUE   
      
   So its doing what its supposed to do, which is to evaluate to true.  If you   
   stop ORing the logic you should get results like what you're looking for:   
      
   !s255!OI   
   !T!F   
   FT   
   FALSE AND TRUE = FALSE   
      
   You want it to run when they are not s255 and not invisible, since the ACS is   
   defining when it SHOULD run not when it shouldn't.  Give that a try and let me   
   know how it goes.
