First i would like to says thanks for taking the time to answer. I am new at this and trying to learn that was the purpose of the question, a move detailed answer could have been more help.

i read through the posts and found a reference to changing the .js script and replacing the .swf sound. When searching google i found that the sounds primarily are .wave and others etc.


Next i do have vbeseo installed, i do not completely understand it's ins and out as i am learning.

Any help would be much a preciated

We aren't totally sure yet if it's fully abandonded, but no replies in 30+ days has proven otherwise.

Nothing is definite yet. And is "Adam" AWcoding? Because VBDev's name isn't Adam.
