MMS problems - gosms - O2

Ok here is my setup.

Samsung Galaxy Ace with cyanogen mod 7.2
O2 UK monthly contract
Gosms primary sms app but stock messaging app is still installed.

sms works fine
wifi works fine
3g internet works fine

mms does not work

I suspect the issue is APN related.

I found this link but when entering these settings the phone refuses to connect to that APN.

Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 settings - Mobile guide - Mobiles & Tariffs - O2

It connects to another APN which is already on the phone but seems to not work for MMS.

MMS doesnt give an error it simple either says sending forever if sending or downloading forever if recieving. The only way to stop this is delete the message.

In addition when trying go sms pro it also seems to add a web link to mms messages pointing to 3g.gosms.cn or something like that and seems it puts images on a webpage, in my case the image wasnt there as its failing, but I am wondering also if gosms that feature can be disabled. So 2 problems.
 
I have resolved this and will explain to help others.

I first had to delete all existing APN's except the one I added from O2's website, these I think came with CM, or maybe were auto downloaded when first connected to network, 2 of them were for different providers.
I then had to make an adjustment to the APN TYPE box.
22.Tap APN type then tap Internet + MMS (so a green dot appears next to it)
Thats wrong, at least for this rom. I typed in internet,mms which made it not connect at all, I had to add default so was default,internet,mms. Then when that set and it was the only APN added now I can send/recieve pics fine. On both gosms and stock.
