Andy I have started checking before asking at TW.com and Tobias's sites. If you don't have it already here is the link to Tobias's site, http://tb5.tiddlyspot.com/#Tobias%20Beer I know that he has also created one off TW5 to check different things like the Galleria I was discussing, Most of my questions are answered or at least a direction to look. That doesn't mean I don't post a bunch and I encourage posting, ;)
I really have gotten a lot farther because of the group and I am very grateful to everyone for their help.
