Chris, that idea got shot down in flames when I suggested it an hour
ago. it's an admin section, nobody really cares and it's just about to
go live.
to do so means that the "people picker" pop-up that puts the name
there for a new record needs to be reworked and then the call to it in
4 other places needs to be rewritten and the whole lot to be tested
again. I didn't write this thing, I just gotta finish it.
I was just trying to be somewhat nice to the users, given the lack of
intuititivity of the rest of the app (IMHO everyone should own a copy
of "Don't Make Me Think!" http://safari.oreilly.com/0321344758)
so I take it I should just give up now and stick post-it's saying this
on the users machine?
meh, no biggee.. thanx anyhoo.
