Hi Lupercus,
your modification looks quite nice and I would be happy to get your file. Unfortunately, I can't send you on pm - always get "You are not allowed to use the messenger feature on this board".
Would be fine if you can contact me! Thanx

That's right, the PM function seems not to work. I changed my settings for this forum, so by clicking on my username you should now be able to mail instead of PM-ing me.

I've split the OT posts from the original topic.
The PM feature on this forum is enabled after a certain number of posts. We've changed this after some (or better say many) new members are very fast in sending PMs to random persons asking for help instead of writing a dedicated public post.
