K, as it seems editing a post doesn't keep a topic on the "active" board, whenever I update my original post I will bump it so you all know that I edited it. *bump*

[LordRahl]

K, got your last update Max, thanks for all the effort (seems I disabled a lot of these.) Think I got all of them copied this time.
