Citizen Flack Jacket ...possibly part of the problem here is this thread's author no longer has access to Wincustomize.com to post in the forum, so the thread sits idle.
Normally Wincustomize is as good as any at providing assistance/feedback to those new to the game....if not here then also on #stardock [IRC]...
'rederick' = rhetoric ....
Citizen Flack Jacket ...if it looks like your thread is being swamped [read 'lost'] amongst all the others...a simple trick is to type 'bump' as a comment which will push it back to the 'most recent' comments/threads and may evince more response.
60,000 site members is a commendable number but it really does tend to pale into insignificance with Wincustomize.com whose current membership is pushing 2.5 million.
Being just one amongst so very many can find threads and their responses disappear into the throng...
