TBH, I would like to see the problem before answering this one. TB! may have shortcomings, but image rendering has (so far?) not been mentioned. Or noticed by myself, for that matter.

But this mailing list is certainly helpful. You'll get all the support you need right here.

Yes, there is a rumour about updating the help file. Believe me, the best way is to ask over here.

Is that used? Very much so. VK> Can I submit there? Yes, certainly. VK> Is there hope of things getting fixed? The only hope we have. Any bug submitted via forum or mailing list has no meaning unless you also mention the bug tracker (BT) entry. Full URL for easy support is appreciated. -- Cheers, Thomas. http://thomas.fernandez.hat-gar-keine-homepage.de/ Message reply created with The Bat! 4.1.11 under Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.2.6 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
