Hello Maff I'm not moaning - its more frustration and a complete waste of time to go through the same hassle that many other people have gone through. Is this progress or the best way for people to spend their time? I just want a tool to use - I don't want to know how it works.
Do you own a car? Did it come with the bonnet open for you to learn how to put the engine together before you can drive off in it somewhere...?

I have had lots of problems understanding things, but with the help of the manual and people on this list I'm getting there and analog is working for me. That's what this mailing list is for - think of the point you are stuck on (i.e. I can't read a log file or I get an empty report), read that section in the manual, search through the archive or ask a question on here. People are willing to help because they've probably asked the same questions before and someone else helped them. So, instead of moaning about how it does not work, ask the question 'why does it not work?' and you will get the answers you are looking for.

My background is printing, publishing, photography, design and websites and I find most things to do with computer coding both difficult and boring although I can also see how powerful and exciting this could be, if this is all one did in life. Anyway, I first downloaded Analog a year ago, tried to set it up, got so far, never, ever got those images to load on the report, and never got the report I needed. Yesterday, I did exactly the same thing with 5.2 and got no further than last time. I can see to some extent what should be happening, not working with joinedtogetherwordsandnumbers is not intuitive to me. I also downloaded ReportMagic thinking this would provide a wizard to help set up Analog, but now realise this is not the case, and unless I get Analog set up, ReportMagic is pretty useless to me. I don't believe I am alone in the world! I read through lots of the help pages understanding some bits but not others. The puzzle was not coming together for me, so I decided to subscibe to the mailing lists. I've never used a mailing list before and having subscribed to yours, I've no idea how to ask a question - didn't find any instructions or help on the subject either. Bottom line coming up... I'm certain you really know lots of things about computers and how the internet works. You're probably even a great programmer, but I feel that if your Analog programme is to be of help to ANYONE, it should be so much easier to use. You are making a good contribution to the world of Internet users by providing this application for free, but some people like me would readily pay a reasonable amount to be able to use it properly, without having a Degree and interest in computer programming. After all there are other exciting things to do in life... like use colour and images and words to excite people. Can you recommend a company or individual, who for a couple of hours work at a reasonable hourly rate, will contact me and help me set up an Analog report which will be of use to me. I could then hopefully be able to simply change the domain name. log file and folder info, to produce reports for other websites.

Sorry, this is a bug.
