I think if the developer had put the urls in for us, we would have not had the one or two who couldn't figure it out.
But by not doing so, he forced us to be familiar with the new feature of being able to change them ourselves. He did provide the suggested default urls for us. I do understand what you are saying, I just disagree. That is ok. Ease of use is very subjective. I do know the developer wants to continue to improve the interface and flexibility of the program. I for one would like to see better ability to use alternate data sources.
