Tip 1... you can enter code, if you change the "Make Post" dropdown to "without UBBCode/HTML"

Assuming you have the element named earlier in the LAY file? For example:

<element name="button-sml" defstate="0"></element>

If no... that's gotta be in there also. If yes... PM me the actual file if you can, and I can look at it tonight, see what I can figure out.

RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.
