2 posts in 10 minutes is nothing...Try 10 posts in 2 minutes Anyways, for the 5x5 the method you are doing works...and the best site I can recommend if you want to continue with this method is: http://www.bigcubes.com
It is a wonderful site, of course there are other methods out there, but the one you do is on that site, with all of the algorithms. The fix you are referring to, I believe I know what it is, but your description isn't 100% clear... http://img5.imageshack.us/my.php?image=imgp02206rt.jpg Is that the one??? If so: do: r2 B2 U2 l U2 r' U2 r U2 F2 r F2 l' B2 r2 It fixes that, without any other effect on the cube. Other people will say other things...choose which ever one you like most. Glad to know I can help...
