[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1012121, member: 82144"] Thanks for the feedback twemperor :) Comments... [LIST=1] [*]You seem to still be using the PBDA interface. I'm curious: is there any particular reason for that? As explained a couple times I expect it would be slower than the [new] native interface, and from our perspective it is less flexible too.
