Wow, that was fast! Thanks to Tony, we now have a small group of BZ admins for the project. is there anything urgent we need to look at right now? If not, maybe a new thread on what we want to do. Maybe simplification and reduction in number of components? Clarification/adjustment of the workflow? What we have now is very confusing to users. -Rob > Note that I did also request that all other accounts, other then the > named admins, be reset back to their basic permissions.
