hi all
So here's my current ToDo list... as you can see it is rather long so my priority at the moment is fixing up any outstanding bugs then the major usability issues in the Forums and Player / Designer and finally I'll start work on implementing new features. If I've missed things off (I'm sure I have in the chaos of the last few days!) then my apologies and please let me know. Once again thank you all for your great suggestions, it's really appreciated!
cheers
Tom
