ahh ... hold on a minute, gotta get my "village idiot hat" on again... ;)
Sorry about that, I mistook active content center to mean something about how those pages are maintained with user comments and updates etc I agree with you John, as a dev, you need to know that something IS the latest and greatest. Often times, I'm not sitting here cruising the content center on my lunch break for kicks ;) It's usually when I'm in a freak and need an answer ASAP - a date stamp is the second thing I check after reading the synopsis and skimming the content. Without the date/time, I'm usualy sitting there going "well what the...is it or isn't it current??". So, if I can help lobby that internally for you, let me know ;) Thanks for the help John, much appreciated JG On 4/12/06, John Dowdell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > John Grden wrote: > > I have to ask, now that I've gone out to see the active content center, > > what's the active part? > > It's more like "active content" than "active center"...
