Thanks waterj2!
General warning everybody - if you start a new thread with quotes in the subject line and preview it, the stuff within the quotes dissapears.

No problem, I spend way too much time over here in ATMB, so I’ve seen just about every message board quirk mentioned and discussed. I really need to get a life. I even read test post threads sometimes.

You can preview it and make sure it looks right **but you then have to hit the “Back” button to get back to the original page before you post it.**
