Code your own virtual camera?

So I've heard it's easy to code your own Virtual Camera. Since I am no coder has one of you lovely fellows probably coded a camera himself?
All I need is zoom and it should work with a stage size of 1024X576.
I have tried the popular vCam AS3 v1.1 link: http://bryanheisey.com/blog/?page_id=12
but it only seems to do an aspect ratio of 4:3 and not 16:9 (which is the aspect ratio you get when you use 1024X576) so everything is skewed and distorted.
Maybe there is just a little detail that needs to change in that code but I have no idea what it is.

If you look at the script you can see it's using the "camera" MovieClip's width and height for the capture area. So if you want to make it 16:9 just physically resize the camera MovieClip to 16:9 e.g. 480 x 270.

Make Your Own 3D Camera for $15 or Less

Just received this link from someone. Thought some of you may be interested...or at least amused. About as low-tech as it gets.

I know its off topic kinda, but making a camera for 15 dollars is good but
my brother recon's he made a baby for under $5 as he purchased protection,
he bought the cheaper pack as he also wanted a beer only to find that his gf

more on protection. any way just thought i would slip that in.

Put your own HTML Codes?

Is there a way to view the html code, and then place your own code in it just like you would with dreamweaver?

Here's what I found. Some people might find it useful.
I wanted to include some php code in a page.
1 Include a text box in the page design which will display the result of your code. Put some marker in the box which will be easy to find like "php-code-goes-here".
2 Publish the site to a folder.
3 open your html editor, I recommend bbedit.
4 open the file for the page and search for the marker you inserted. Replace the marker with your php code.
5 save the file, remembering to rename it with a .php extension
6 search all the other files in that site folder for references to the original .html file and change these references to the new .php file.
7 upload the site folder to your server. you can delete the original html file if you like.
8 bask in the glow that comes when your app works and smile.
I guess this will work with java script and other code as well. I don't have a .mac account so I don't know if this works or even if .mac is enabled for php.

How to upload images to your own Web site?

I recently bought a Creative WebCam NX Pro. Installation was fine, the product works great.
The problem is that I want the cam to upload images to my own web site, www.fogwatch.com. This is basically a weather cam, with images uploading regularly.
The problem is that the Creative software creates a new name for the image file every time it uploads a new image -- 0.jpg, 02.jpg, 03.jpg, etc. The problem is that the HTML code on my Web site is programmed to recognize only one file name for the Web cam image -- image.jpg. With my old Logitech cam, the software would overwrite the old image with the new image with the same file name, and every was fine.
So, with the Creative software, I would have to change the file name in my HTML code every time the cam uploaded a new image?and that's impossible. I don't want to use the default Creative web page that it uploads images to as that doesn't fit in my site design.
Is anyone using a Creative camera to upload images to their own Web site? How are you doing it's

Bcasey,
I spent some time working with Webcam monitor and have found the way to do what you are wanting. You need to set up your FTP settings, arrange for a continuous upload and then go over to the custom web page section. Put a checkmark in "upload custom webpage" and go to the section where it says how many pictures to display. Set this to and then remove the checkmark from "upload custom webpage". The program will now upload a single file called img.jpg updated at the interval you choose.

Rolling Your Own Script Editor

Does anyone know if there is a way in a window you've developed on your
own to access Forte's "compile" logic? Have a TextEditField and would
like the stuff in it to be compiled.
Curtis Marsden
[email protected]

If we are making a text-editor wish list, let me add my two cents worth --
How about text-sensitive help - when you do f1, look up the word under the
cursor, and if it is found, automatically position to that topic in the
help file. And as long as we are talking about help, how about more
example syntax, suitable for cutting and pasting?
I do like Forte's search and replace feature, with the little check-boxes,
but wish that it would find all references, not just those in methods. I
got nailed once changing an attribute or method name (I forget which) that
was also referenced in a virtual attribute. The code broke, and it was
pretty hard to track down why.
Beyond that, I would echo ALL of Richard's suggestions. If I were to pick
the one or two points that I would consider most important, it would be
these: Using color to highlight key words and comments in the methods; and
using a treeview with projects, classes, and methods to simplify navigation
of the project hierarchy.

I think the point is that the editing in Forte is archaic. Someone (andwe
all are looking directly at Forte themselves) needs to provide a user
friendly development environment.
Useful features that are on all successful IDE's built in the later partof
the century are:
Text highlighting - This doesn't even work properly in V3F. Tryshift-down
past a long line.
Context highlighting or colours - Type a reserved word and it appears in
bold would be a good start.
Search - What is that greyed out cancel button for?
Search - I am reading someone's code and they are calling a method on anSO.
How do I quickly find where that method is?
Layout - What about a tree view of Projects, Classes and
Methods/Attributes - Double click on the method and go directly there. Take
a look at MSVC for a useable interface.
'How do I?' on help.
Why is it necessary to keep going to the web to look for tech support?
Can't that be added to Help.
Object ID's - all or nothing. Try changing an object's name. All the
function prototypes change - none of the code changes - brokeneverywhere.
If there was a descent Search and Replace (Would you like to replacethis?
And the text in your function prototype, Would you like to replace this
too?) this would be vaguely acceptable.
I could go on but I won't.

Also potentially quite interesting would be the option to use optional
editors in place of any standard one. I have been very impressed, for
example, with ED4W and its ability to recognize syntax, use color to
highlight syntactically relevent areas, and provide typing shortcutswhich
can pop in whole language segments in response to a few keystrokes. They
haven't done a Forte language template yet, but they do provide all the
tools necessary to do one and they have provided the capability withmany
other languages to hand the current buffer to a compiler, collect the
errors, and then return to ED4W with errors marked. I don't know howeasy
it would be to get it to interface with the repository, but I don't seewhy
this should be that difficult.

Great post Jeff,
With regard to Jquery UI and tabs I've contacted the Apex dev team and received a reply from them.
All the jQueryUI files are included in the APEX 4.0 distribution, but not all jQueryUI components
are loaded by default to avoid a huge initial download. It's not necessary to load your own version of jQueryUI, just load the missing component.
For the "Tabs" you have to add
<link href="IMAGE_PREFIX#libraries/jquery-ui/1.8/themes/base/jquery.ui.tabs.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#libraries/jquery-ui/1.8/ui/minified/jquery.ui.tabs.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
to your page template or the header attribute of your page where you want to use it.They did not mention which other Jquery UI widgets were not included so people need to check to see if they get any JS errors Like "$('#tabs').tabs() is not a function" this would suggest that tabs is not being loaded. To included it in you page header directly after #HEAD# you need to place the css and js as stated above.
If you need jquery help just post you queries here or the is some other jquery links that maybe of some use

How can you add your own print and export buttons to the CR viewer toolbar?

I posted a previous question that was asking how to get around the Information Bar in IE7 when you export and print. Unfortunately the CR viewer file download code gets blocked by IE7 because the buttons don't directly download the file. However, I have been able to get a regular button that calls the following code and streams the file to the client and IE7 does not block it.
Sub PrintPDF(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)
     Dim crReportDocument as ReportDocument
     Dim crExportOptions as ExportOptions
     Dim crDiskFileDestinationOptions as DiskFileDestinationOptions
     Dim Fname as string
     CrReportDocument = New ReportDocument()
     CrReportDocument.Load(Server.MapPath("estactionlist.rpt"))
     Fname = Server.MapPath("./") & Session.SessionID.ToString & ".pdf"
     CrDiskFileDestinationOptions = New DiskFileDestinationOptions()
     CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = FName
     CrExportOptions = crReportDocument.ExportOptions
     With crExportOptions
          .DestinationOptions = CrDiskFileDestinationOptions
          .ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
          .ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
     End With
     CrReportDocument.Export()
     Response.ClearContent()
     Response.ClearHeaders()
                Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=test.pdf")
                Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
                Response.Charset = ""
                Response.WriteFile(Fname)
                Response.Flush()
     Response.Close()
     System.IO.File.Delete(Fname)
End Sub
So here are my questions?
1. Is it possible to add a custom print control/icon to the CR viewer toolbar?
2. If one is not possible, then is it possible to override the CR viewer print and export buttons with your own subroutines like the one above?
I just want my page to look nice and hate to have print and export buttons outside of my CR viewer.
Thanks,
Kevin

It might be possible to replace the buttons in a windows app since you can retrieve the toolbar as a toolbar object in the winform viewer ( ToolStrip toolBar = (ToolStrip) crystalReportViewer1.Controls[3]; ) however with a web app, it's a lot more difficult.
The problem is that that you need to parse the Request string to try and figure out if the print / export button was clicked. The code below makes the print button disappear if you click it, so you should be able to modify it to call your custom printing / exporting code instead (You have to do this check in a postback)
        Dim I As Integer = 0
        If Request.Form.AllKeys.Length > 0 Then
            For I = 0 To Request.Form.AllKeys.Length - 1
                Response.Write(Request.Form.Keys(I).ToString & "<BR>")
                If Request.Form.Keys(I).ToString = "CrystalReportViewer2:_ctl2:_ctl2.x" Then
                    CrystalReportViewer2.HasPrintButton = False
                End If
            Next
       End If

How To Use Your Own Router with Out Loosing Verizon's FIOS Services

How to use your own router with Verizon’s FIOS Service
First, you need a basic understanding of how FIOS works but unfortunately there are two types of FIOS systems out there. All of the systems utilize a fiber optic cable to bring TV, phone and internet to your location over one optic cable. In addition these systems provide interactivity including widgets, remote DVR, movies on demand and so forth via an IP (Internet Protocol) signal. Your STB (Set Tip Box) requires both a video and IP signal. The IP signal is necessary for all of the aforementioned interactivity. The fiber cable terminates at the Optical Network Terminal or ONT for short. The ONT converts the optics into a digital signal that can be utilized by ones equipment. From the ONT your video, phone and internet are provided to the location. This is where things can differ as the internet signal can be provided via a coaxial (MoCA or Multimedia over Coax Alliance) or RJ45 Cat5 (Ethernet) cable. It is important to identify and understand the differences of these two setups. In my case I have my internet entering via Ethernet cable, which in my humble opinion makes things a heck of a lot easier.
How does one tell the difference? In most cases it’s rather simple; just look at the Verizon’s router WAN (Wide Area Network) Port. Does it have a RJ45 (Ethernet) or Coax (TV cable Cord) going to it? If the router’s WAN port doesn’t have a coaxial connector then one will need to convert the MoCA signal into a usable Ethernet signal that routers understand. The easiest way is to use Verizon’s router as a bridge. In this method the Verizon’s router simply converts the signal and passes it along to your own router. The challenge is to try to maintain the interactivity that FIOS TV provides. Because of this one needs to supply the IP routed signal back to the FIOS router. There are multiple methods for doing this and I would recommend investigates which one make the most sense.
In my particular case the IP signal was provided by Ethernet. Again there are various ways of installing one’s own router. The hardest is to utilize Verizon’s router as a bridge. This setup requires configuring Verizon’s router as a bridge and also creating a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Networks). In addition one needs to set up their own router so it will work with the various routing tables and networks. For me this is too complex for the average person and it can be difficult to trouble shoot if something goes wrong. Please consider that Verizon will not support utilizing third party routers.
The easier method is to request an Ethernet signal (if you don’t already have one) from their ONT. I would highly recommend getting your hands on a NIM or Network Interface Module. This device is used to convert Ethernet to Coaxial so it can be fed back to your STBs. These can be purchased online and Verizon technicians can be a valuable resource with these sorts of acquisition. At the very least they can point you to the right direction. Once you have a NIM the rest is rather simple.
Log into the current Verizon Router.
Located the router’s MAC address and copy it down.
Go to the port forwarding section and copy down the Applied Rules.
Example:
Network Computer/Device: 192.168.1.100:63145
Application & Ports Forward: Application UDP Any -> 6347
Note: There may be up to three entries for each one of your Set Top Boxes.
Look at your current device list, typically found on the home screen. Copy down your STB MAC and IP address.
Example:
IP-STB1
Connection Type: Ethernet
* IP Address: 192.168.1.100
IP Address Allocation: DHCP
*MAC Address:                07:73:fFe:ad:8b:3f
* Things you will need to write down
Go to the network section and look for the main Ethernet connection. Select this and then select more setting, typically found at the bottom. Release the current lease.
Remove the Verizon router
Install your router
Connect the NIM by plugging in an Ethernet from one of the routers LAN (Local Area Network) ports to your NIM. Then connect the coax cable, the same cable that was used by Verizon router.
Set you DHCP routing IP pool to accommodate Verizon’s STB IP’s (note their IP’s start at 192.168.1.100)
Go to DHCP section and reserve the STB IP’s by inserting the IP’s and MAC addresses. This shall ensure that nothing else utilizes the same IPs as the STBs thereby preventing IP address conflict.
Add the port forwards from Step 5 above.
Clone Verizon’s Mac Address utilizing the info from step 2
Finish setting up the router in typical fashion.
Unplug and re-plugin your STB’s and test functionality. It’s best to try using a widget or Movie on demand function.
Note: if the new router can net get an internet signal contact Verizon’s support and have them release the IP and reset the ONT.
EVERYTHING should be working at this point.

3 Go to the port forwarding section and copy down the Applied Rules.
Example:
Network Computer/Device: 192.168.1.100:63145
Application & Ports Forward: Application UDP Any -> 6347
Note: There may be up to three entries for each one of your Set Top Boxes.G
Your display obviously is not like mine as mine does not dosplay the port associated with the ip address
whatever, the STB's start at 192.168.1.100 and icement by 1 for each
the port addr's will be 63145 alo incrementing by 1
there is 1 entry for each in my pf list
however each ip addr also has a port entry starting at 35000 also incrementing by 1 for each ip addr
For some unknow reason these are duplicated e.g I appear to have 11 entries exaactly the same for each stb and as the fios services rules have no action switc there is nowhere to delete the extraneous garbage.
Why do you clone the mac addr??

AP Check printing setups for printing checks on your own

HI
I am wondering if there a good document which deals with AP check printing with MICR and signature on your own check stock
thanks

Recently we started to deal with AP check printing in our organizatin. It was a daunting task with the information and resources scattered all over and missing critical pieces of information to make sense out of the whole process flow. We attempted to go through the AP check printing internally and succeded.
I decided to post the information for the benefit of people about the our experience
Check Printing Basics and Beyond for Printing Checks on Your Own
by
Sarma Chilukuri
This article deals with what is needed to get your own checks printed. It is a first attempt to uncover all the hidden rules that one should be aware to get your own checks printed. The first section deals with the basic AP check printing setup, while the 2nd half explores some of the flow of events that make it possible to print the check.
Part I â Basic Setup
AP Setup for check printing
There are multiple steps in the AP check printing. First set of steps deal with the AP side setups. The second step is to get the System side setups. The system side setup deals with printer setup and program options setups. The last step would be to make the print format files configured with the vendor provided escape sequences in the laser print format file.
Step 1: login as Payable Manager
Step 2: Bank Setup: Navigate to Setup: Payments > Banks
1.     Make sure the Bank # etc are present
2.     Tab to âBank Accountsâ, and make sure your account # has been setup
3.     On the Bank Accounts screen, tab to the âPayables Documentsâ and verify that Payment format (E.g., COK Laser Format) has been entered. This âPayment format links to next section where we associate it to the right payment program.
Fig 1. AP Payment Bank Setup Screen
Step 3: Program Setup (Setup: Payments > Programs)
As we know there are only 5 formats 3 of which are âEver Green Laserâ (APXPBFE G|L|F) which are explained in the AP Users Guide. For your own form printing, you have to associate the format to APXPFEL (laser format) program. Also, the APXPBFEL or APXPBFEF call the APXPBFEG, which is the base program that pulls the data from oracle base tables. APXPBFEL is the one which allows us to print the checks with MICR and signature on a plain paper not on a pre printed stationery.
Fig. 2 AP Payment Format Setup Screen
Printer Styles, Drivers setup
The above process summarizes the AP Setup. As a DBA, the printer setup needs to be validated. The base install provides the right setup to some extent. But the differences in printers and print queues may add some complexity to the final configuration. The following section discusses the set up the base install provides and changes as needed.
Step 1. Login as system Administrator
Step 2: Style (Install : Printer > Style)
Look for the âPORTRAITHPLJ4LASCHECKâ. This one is associated with the SRW Driver Called, âAPLASPâ (AP Laser printer format).
Step 3: Driver (Install : Printer > Driver).
     1. The âPORTRAITHPLJ4LASCHECKâ is associated with a âUser Driverâ of PORTRAIT for HPLJ4 and and a SRW driver of âAPLASPâ
     2. Also notice that there is an Initialization string at the bottom of it. This initialization string gets called as pre-report trigger for the APXPBFEG program (APXPBFEG.rdf) file. It sets the kind of format it should be. Please see the Appendix A for details on these printer pcl code translations. The Initialization string was as follows:
Initialization: /eE/e&l0o2a7C/e(s0P/e(8U
Step 4: Printer type (Install : Printer > Register)
Each printer type is associated with a set of styles. Make sure the printer that was selected has the above style and its associated driver listed against that.
Fig. 3 System Administrator Printer Seups
Step 5: Program Setup (Concurrent > Program > Define)
This step holds the key for check printing. It is necessary to define whether you need the check on top followed by the Stub or the other way around. The way it is controlled is based on the APXPBFEG.rdf, the report definition file and the APLASP.prt (Printer Style associate with the Portrait laser check format SRW driver). The APLASP.prt file ($FND_TOP/reports) has two identical setups called the 100 series and the 200 series. Those identical sets of setups define where the MICR and signature print on the check. The following table lists the some of the codes in the 100 series. Please refer to Doc ID #146452.1 for complete details.
Fig. 4 System Administrator Concurrent Program Definitions
CODE #     Code Definition
100     Electronic check activation string
101     1st Check #
102     2nd Check #
104     Deactivate check number mode string
111     Activate MICR line
112     MICR Deactivation / reset the printer head position
121     1st Signature
122     2nd Signature
141     Address font activation string
199     Return to default state string
Table 1. APLASP.prt -- MICR Activation Codes
The above code block repeats itself the same way in the 200 series. The decision to activate one way or the other controls the Check printing.
Step 2: Setting up the Option block
In the concurrent program definition for the APXPBFEL, there is an Options block in the middle. You need to list the codes that you want to activate. Please refer to Doc ID # 186640.1 for some explanation on these.
E.g.,
p_printer_code_mask="201,211,221,241" p_sig2_amount="" p_sig3_amount="" p_sig1_vendnum="" p_sig2_vendnum="" p_sig3_vendnum="" p_country_to_ignore="US" p_continuous_stationery="N"
Step 3: Output format is Text
Text format is sufficient, as the printer will pick up these escape sequences anyway.

UIPRINT.TXT, UIFONTS.ALI
One needs to be aware of a few more pieces in this puzzle. The UIPRINT.TXT identifies to the Oracle Applications the print queues that were setup. This file is needed to set your PCL / Post Script printer definitions. I did not have to really tinker with these files other than identifying the PCL and Post Script Qâs that were setup on the UNIX box.
Part II: Integrating all the pieces
The above setups are all documented in various articles. We need to understand a few more steps to see how all these pieces come together.
What you need to know about APXPBFEG.rdf
APXPBFEG (.rdf) is the report file which when called pulls the data from Oracle. If you open the APXPBFEG.rdf in the Oracle reports, there is initialization to the report called, SRW.Init. This will bring in the initialization string associated with the PORTRAITHPLJ4LASCHECK driver definition file. Also, please be very careful with this report format file. When you open it, there is small tiny empty block. in the first block which calls the printer initialization code 100/200 under the Format Mask (from APLASP.prt). If this portion gets changed or messed up, one can end up with some unexpected results. Each of those blocks like MICR, CHECK etcâ¦ have associated format triggers and printer codes.
Please make sure that the printer mask is properly handled. I noticed that the 200 series MICR (211) and Signature (221) printer masks were tied to 111 and 121 respectively. These should have been 211 and 221. The other place you need to be careful was the printer code before and after is proper.
For E.g.,
For the MICR, the âprinter code before and after columns â should be 111 and 112 (or 211 / 212) respectively while Format Trigger should reference to 111 (211).
Fig. 6 APXPBFEG rdf file printer mask and Format Triggers
The escape sequences in the APLASP.prt file for these codes will play the crucial role in getting our format around the report output that gets generated from the APXPBFEG program. Please refer to the explanation of these escape sequence codes in the APPENDIX A.
At this point when you run the program, you will see that the formatted output report file will have all the initialization strings and the output associated with that. You can compare the fields and verify the results. Let us closely examine the parts of the 111 and 121 where the micr and signature prints. The key to this to code the escape sequences the right way to get the associate MICR and signature print out correctly.

Code 111 and Code 112 from the APLASP.prt file.
I broke the line into pieces to illustrate the exact escape sequence code.
Code "211"
Part 1: esc "&f0S" esc "&f0y0X" esc "&l0E" esc "&a0L"
Part 2: esc "(8M" esc "(s0p8.00h8.0v0s0b80T" --- This will be provided by the ROM

Part 3: esc "&k15H" esc "*p3215Y" esc "&a13.8C"
code "212"
Part 1 : esc "&f1x3x8X"
Part 2 : esc "&f1S"
Let us go over these 2 sets of codes carefully.
Escape Code     Meaning     Comment
esc "&f0S"      Push Cursor Position
esc "&f0y0X"     Define Macro ID 0 and Start Macro Definition
esc "&l0E"      Define Top Margin at 0 Lines

     CODE 112
esc "&f1x3x8X"     {End Macro Definition}{Call Macro}{Delete Macro ID}
esc "&f1S"     {Pop Cursor Position}     At this point, the MICR gets printed

Summary
One can print their own checks using the above steps. This can work as a cost effective solution for small organizations where the budgetary constraints are tighter. We are successful in getting the AP Checks printed using the above method.

How to define your own context in an EJB environment - possibly distributed

I would like to setup a context (an object accissible per logical thread) in an EJB environment, but I am too unfamiliar with the options I may have.
My objective is to create a context in which I may set a value, then invoke a method on an object (which in turn invokes a method on another object and so forth) and eventually get back the value from the context. In other words I am trying to pass a value without passing it as a parameter. More specifically, I have written a JDBC Driver wrapper in which I want to intercept a number of method calls and based on the context settings perform one or the other JDBC preprocessing. The reason for not passing the values as parameters is to interfere as little as possible with any environment in which this code is to be integrated. I simply want to set the context and get the context (in my JDBC wrapper) without the surrounding code needing to change.
I have succeded partially by using a ThreadLocal object to hold my context. I can set and get the values to and from the context and actually pass values to my Driver wrapper without explicitly passing them as parameters. This works well in a non-EJB environment. My concern arises when I switch to the EJB environment.
If my context is set in a session bean, which invokes an entity bean, am I then guaranteed that these will execute in the same physical thread?
If the session and the entity beans are hosted on seperate machines then the answer would certainly be NO. Is there any way to have the container manage the context and propagate it accross containers when needed?
Any thoughts or suggestions on this topic are wellcome, even if they don't solve the issue entirely.
Looking forward to hear from you all!
/poul

In an EJB environment, you have absolutely no control over threading issues. (It was purposefully designed that way.) However, you do have your own little "sandbox" in the EJB ClassLoader - which is why there is a lot of use of the Singleton pattern for factories and (very carefully!) as small caching mechanisms. You might want to look into that avenue - but you have to know how your EJB vendor's ClassLoader scheme works (there does appear to be a convergence in this area) and you must be very sensitive to potential thread-blocking operations that may take a while to complete.

I am not sure what your question is.
Information on how to configure your system
to use the Oracle JVM appears in the
help files and in the ReadMe (release notes).
The Oracle JVM supports JDK 1.2.2 only.
If you need to, post another question more clearly.
I hope this helps,

what is for Own accomodation?!!

HI,
SCOA - company owned accomodation this is for the COA.
I hope your look for the other own accomodation like own house ..
You can find the sam e in the IT -HRA.

To format code: {code} Your code here {code}

It doesn't look like code formatting instructions will ever make it into the help, so what about a moderator announcement on page 1 of both dev forums? I started a thread on this topic up in the Feedback forum but it will need support from other developers to get the attention of management. If you like this idea or want to improve on it, please consider bumping my thread or starting your own up in Feedback. [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1933807&tstart=0]

Update
Nubz N. has responded to my Feedback Forum thread on this subject, and has been kind enough to add an excellent section on code formatting to Joerg Weise's How can I format my post? in the User Tips Library.
Helpful as this addition is, I don't think newbies are going to find it in time to avoid a post full of unformatted code. So I've asked Nubz to consider my earlier suggestion to get some minimal instructions right on top of the Dev forum topic pages.
If you'd like to support this effort, just bump my Feedback thread -> here <-
