I’ve been away for nearly two weeks, so catching up on multitudinous Legacy emails – like you CE I was somewhat amazed that a feature that presumably worked for the majority of users was changed because ONE person wanted it different. Yet there have been numerous times when a large number of users have complained about something not working properly, or have made a suggestion for an improvement that would benefit many users and we are all still waiting. I usually only have praise for Legacy – the program, the staff, users, the LUG – but as I said, I was amazed at this.
