Hi Alan, ...last time I tried to file a bug report I quit as I saw the interface of the bugtracker and the sheer amount of "best practice" docs and -howtos/faqs. I understand, that to keep out request like "I dont like to sync on mondays"...but currently it seems to me, that many other reports will be stopped there, too... The Blender bugtracker is much more easier...and I dont think, that the blender institute will be overrun by reports like "I dont like renders of mondays"... Only my two cents...your currency may vary... ;) Cheers Meino
