Luckily, I'm not in charge of documentation, that is Nat, Patrick and Steve. I'm only in charge of the Web site (with Brian Kotek), proofreading and editing (with Brian Kotek) and fusedocs. And yes, I'll be spending a great deal of time far in excess of 30 hours doing this. But that is my

I am converting some charts from cf5 (cfgraph) to CFMX7 (cfchart). My simple bar graphs that looked great in CF5 are not looking so good in CF7. My main problem is the y axis grid labels showing up as 3.703, 7.407, etc. Instead of 5,10,15 like they were before. I've been looking

Hell, if I had any design talent (which I unfortunately do not, and have given up trying to acquire it), I'd enter the contest just to make sure my name was published. That way I could be guaranteed that you would never call me for work.
