Dang, why do you do that?

That makes it too hard to think up new things to ask you for....

Why not at least link to the forum if we have the name. 4) Boy, sure would be nice to list all the posts in the forum, instead of just linking to the forum. I just think of what I would like it to do. Usually, that's sufficient, since I'm a user of the forums as well. Just like most open source projects -- most development is done by scratching an itch. That's why some of the best open source projects are for developer's tools. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

A good one was letting you rename mail folders. A more recent one was adding a "Your password will expire in x days" message. Wade. Someday I'll wax long and lyrical about what it does and why it's the greatest thing since sliced cheese, but for now it should be enough to know it's a groupware product run as PHP pages on an Apache server. :-) "Ah.
