I have no doubt that Lynne is a truly lovely person. Again, my apologies for coming across as rude or arrogant. But, to be honest and direct, the answer I received was a typical coder response that was obtuse at best and was far from complete or useful to me.

As for doing a search first, that's always my approach. How do you think I found this particular thread? It seemed to be the only one that even marginally addressed my problems. Do you think I just clicked on the first thread I found and posted my questions? Where else would you suggest I look other than perhaps at the forum at vBulletin.com (which I have also done)?

My complaints only came after I tried more than once to ask questions in a reasonable manner and got responses I found to be unhelpful.

As for the answers I received, are you saying that you consider "write a plugin" or "read up" to be "correct" answers? If so, then we'll just have to differ on that.

Pointing one in a "direction" is hardly the same as providing an explanation with a complete and correct answer, (such as the one that I actually provided).

I'll try not to trouble any of you experts here again with my silly little questions. Promise.
