moby games API key

[list-tellico at legroom.net]

I've tired replacing ~/.config/tellicorc with a backup copy from my old 
computer.  Same behavior.  Tried doing the same with 
~/.local/share/tellico - same behavior.  I don't have a backup of 
~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/tellico/, but as far as I can tell that stores 
UI configuration properties.  Tried deleting that and re-running just 
for grins, but still get the same behavior.

Despite everything I can think to try, including running an exact copy 
of the working ~/.config/tellicorc file from my previous computer, it's 
still telling me I need an API to use this resource.  I checked my 
mobygames account as well just to verify it hasn't been disabled or 
anything.  Still good as far as I can tell, and confirmed the API key is 
accurate.

Would appreciate any suggestions.
