[QUOTE="JDWestoby, post: 602191, member: 72093"] Frankly I'm just pleased it wasn't misconstrued as negative (always a problem when writing ANYTHING down) - no way was it meant to be. Please feel free to quote the post, no problems there. As I said it is a horrible task to make something to appeal to everyone, I don't have low hardware (I think I once saw it hit 50%) but just don't want the interface to 'get in my way'. I'm sure everyone has seen websites that hide buttons so you're looking for the logout (who said Amazon?) or whatever and can't find it! I think the problem is the same as all software - creep. Having designed something nice and 'tight' someone looks at it and says "can it just do xxx?", well, of course it can - it's software and having the courage/hubris to turn round and say NO outright is really hard to do. So thank you a) for all the hard work b) for not taking offense c) for making MP a nice place to visit. (Oh where the heck is MP 1 :D:D) [/QUOTE]
