On topic: I don't think this will effect pricing since all testing is on their end. That said, it's a big pain in the ass and could result in some problems...I'm not sure what to think just yet. ps. i deleted it on accident while trying to get rid of some spam links in the comments section! I wish those people would learn that I'm not going to approve their messages and just move along. Anyways, glad you like the new look :) outstanding, thanks Donna!
