This sounds very promising. After reading some of the responses on how this change will likely trickle-down to other changes within the site, I realized just how big a can of worms have been opened. I only have one question: why add a new link seperate from the link to send-per.html ... I thought the general consensus during the previous disucssions was to change the "Send a bug report" link. It just goes against my nature to leave a link up that points to a page that basically says, "under construction/not working right now" If this has already been discussed and I missed it, then I apologize for the noise. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
