Hey, I am still here, though i only swing by to help people now. the update process is so messed up, that i don't even bother any more,
Hey String its been a while since ive seen you in these parts. Good to see your back again. and Brose, if you do find a way to remove themes please drop me an email as i have a theme that some idiot submitted on my behalf that i need removed. and just so you know, your comment: " I received no issues with the files, uploading, etc - as this is 101, and, IMO, people posting here that can't get XML and remote images done right - should clear the way for those that do... " isn't completely true. there was a period where the google servers were accessing the files too quickly on people's servers and throwing errors that were not accurate. Its in my FAQ if you want more info. but yeh if you do get a response tell us of any updates you have good luck mate, we're all rooting for you On Apr 17, 5:55 am, AaronC <[email protected]> wrote: > String and Brose, > > I have tried the "email the group owner" and gave up after email 20- > something.
