Okay...it looks like the star is going to remain. but that's okay..remember,it doesn't matter if your particular complaint gets resolved to get your new card. Just the complaint itself is good enough. Renderosity sent me my brand new "Aluminum Foil" card, complete with PIN. This motivated me to continue and try for my "Copper Card". I had read the fine print and it seems that complaints don't have to be just about things relating to the function and/or form of the site. The fine print is pretty small but if I understand correctly, the complaint can be about just about anything. (Or anybody for that matter). So I'm going to try my hand at one not specifically related to the site function but rather about " Member Posting Habits". For example...When making a post that includes a link,is it really that difficult to use the URL box provided at the bottom of the reply form?...I mean...your posting a link anyway...probably copying and pasting it. But is there some reason folks don't use the URL box and just paste it into the body of the text reply? It's not like they are being expected to write and use fancy shmancy html code. Lets examine the difference it makes: Using the URL Box: 1)Click on the link and the browser happily opens a new window to the link. OR Not using the URL Box It certainly would save folks from having to: 1) Copy the url, (and hope that the url is not all run together with other text or ending with periods that need to be edited out) 2) Either paste the link directly into the browser that is open,and then have to navigate back to the thread to reply OR: 3) Launch a new browser instance and paste the url in that one. 4) Click "Go"or hit enter to get to the linked page. Okay...if multiple links are being posted,then that is understood,...remember..nobody is expecting perfectly formatted html code. But if it's one link, how hard is it to be considerate and use the url box provided? Okay..I've got more complaints but I don't wanna use them all up at once. Hopefully this will get me my copper card and I can move on to Zinc. Bruce...I'd like to formally request some abuse from you so I can be armed with future complaints. 8 )~ Tom
