Sorry, I have been lax in posting for quite some time. Hopefully this will be the start of a renewed posting binge!

A piece of advice, if you are searching for a solution to an issue, or a recommendation, or anything else on the web, when you find a post or a forum thread do 2 things. 

First, check the date on the post of thread. If it is older it may no longer be fully up to date and or inaccurate. Bear that in mind. 

Second, READ THE COMMENTS! Often small omissions or other issues in the post itself are resolved in the comments. If the solution to your issue does not appear to work check the comments. There may be a step missing or something else relavent that was raised by a prior reader or the author themselves.

Cheers,
