Tell is not needed as Rob has shown you and LDMs, to my knowledge, have never been a fully supported feature. Its one of those things that was added in as a nice extra. I would certainly rather get a few half way features than not have any access to them because they could not be fully finalized. I have pages of things that I have used over the years that are either undocumented or unsupported. You have to be careful, but sometimes the reward far outweighs the risk. I would like these items cleaned up a bit as well, but don't start attacking the developers for this. They do a lot with the little they have. There is a problem with MM ignoring Director (I would say it comes from the CEO chair) but making attacks on the programmers is not going to help. Submit a bug report or ask for a solution, but the fact is many people are using the features you are complaining about just fine. Its simply a matter of understanding how they work and how to get them working the way you want. >> I'm sure it is a statement like this, which will lead to more >> enthusiasm >> in the director team to fix thissue. > >well it sure as hell couldnt do any harm could it! Yes it can hurt. The developers, especially Tom, have been great about listening to the community. If all we do is badger them I certainly would not expect them to keep being so helpful. :) -Chuck -------------------------- Chuck Neal CEO, MediaMacros, Inc.
