I'm horribly tempted to tell you to use my SMF mod for this and that I may let you get away with it... :-[
My main concern is that IIRC, that mod has a few bugs that were fixed in W, but that one is off-limits for now, so...
It all depends on whether your version has more bugs than my mod's. Anyone care to count? O:-)
Thank for the offer Nao, it seems Spuds fixed it (or maybe TE dunno... lol).
Good news then!
