To be fair, I think Amber initially created those forums just to chat with her fans and regulars, after all it's attached to her website. Over time, other models started posting there and it became popular. She didn't create the forum JUST for camgirls.

LOL I agree BrownFox.
Regardless - good for her - but, it's bad business to mix business with pleasure.

I think the deal is more the less how she portrays herself and conducts business...
I also think its more the less how she develops a following that's supposed to be business and turns it into something personal with a side of sheer cockiness and overloaded personas of I'm better than everyone else. I have been to that forum. I haven't found any useful information in relation to camming other than her personal tips which aren't for everyone. It seems like everyone does what SHE says - making a glorified following just for her.
I actually have found a ton of useful info on there for MFC, but I'm mostly on Streamate these days so I haven't looked too deeply on there in a while.

I think it was me who brought her up, and the reason for that being...someone on here was comparing SW forums to the AC forums, which made me chuckle. :P
Yeah, SW may have some drama, but at least we don't have threads dedicated to teasing inexperienced models with bad cam setups (that's rude and petty).
No, I feel you on that, I just feel like we have a lot of posts on SW threads that are about that one thread on another forum, and then it just devolves into a bunch of shit talking about someone who doesn't even post on here. I like to read SW for the positive inspiration, so I just felt like I had to say my piece on the subject. That's all :)

Yeah. I have a forum on my website that's structured much the same way except for the cam girl part. Any time I'm on AC I get all embarrassed and think, "I'm so glad that my forum hasn't turned into anything big. I'd be really embarrassed to blend my cam forum stuff with my member forum stuff."
I mean, just think about it. She can't bitch about the guys, she can't say, "this guy has this really weird fetish, can you believe it?!", she can't talk about how she really feels because her guys are in there too and so she has to have customer face on.
Add to that the girls who first joined there must have kind of had to curry favor to justify posting in her private forum and that must have been awkward for both her and the other girls.

I completely agree. She is screwed in more ways than one. You simply cannot mix all of those variables and expect a good outcome. When I get my site up and going, I will have a site for my custys ONLY. That's it. That's all I want geared on for money driven reasons. I have here for information and my blog for my cam girls and friends.

Yeah, it is annoying, but I view it kinda like an "arguing on the internet" thing ("Arguing on the internet is like competing in the special olympics, even if you win you're still retarded"). Usually I reply with, "I did a quick search of the site and it yielded these threads" with the threads linked below. Like some other girls have posted, some things are hard to find because they're too common or now spread over different forums since we've moved from OW to CC (anybody else get "rainbow connection" stuck in her head whenever she sees "camming connection"?) and like you've said, some girls are dumb and lazy.
I view it as good foruming to reply to already asked questions with the "here's the old threads", like keeping your campsite nice when you go camping. That way, if someone does search for it in the future they have all the links if they find any one of the threads.
The problem with adding a new post to an old thread -as you suggested, valid suggestion- is that most ppl will simply reply to the OP (whose post is now a zombie post, however many months old) and not read that the thread was resurrected by the new commenter 3 pages in. I can see a good forum etiquette being starting a new thread and saying, "Hey I read this thread here: *link* and wanted to ask a new question about..."
Epic, epic quote. That is totally siggy material right there!! lol

I am among the many that agree the repeat posts are annoying of the same basic stuff like "how do you like MFC?" lol. Those posts make my head hurt.
But I will also say I don't know what it is about *most* forum search functions, but in my experience I'd say about half the time I don't get what I'm looking for, but I know the answer is there. Whether it be using keywords that are too broad, or keywords that are too specific... sometimes it is truly hard to find relevant information. The way how I handle this, is if I have a topic in mind where it was already discussed, I will usually just link them to that. Or hell, why not link them to the last shit storm thread about repeat posters? :-) Lol, it'll get the point across. In my noncam life I often use a website called LMGTFY - let me google that for you or lmgtfy.com
Did you know on Google you can type in the search box:
site:forum.stripperweb.com alertpay
JUST like that and you will get all posts mentioned with "alertpay" within the forum.
Now, lets tie this all in together:
Go to lmgtfy.com and put that entire string in the box together. Starting with "site" and ending with "alertpay" and LMGTFY populates a link like this: :)
It would be one hell of a long and tedious job if someone were to do this now considering how long this forum has been here and how many threads there are, but I am a huge fan of stickies. I will have to say that's the biggest reason I hang on AC usually when I'm in camgirl forum mode. I like being able to go on there and just quickly at a glance read the subjects of what's new, click on what I wanna read, and then get off, not *usually* having to waste any time.
And while I'm thinking about it... I gotta say I 110% agree with greeneyes about not understanding why it's worth someones time to bash that forum whenever they have a chance. This forum runs itself the way it does, and Amber runs hers the way she does. Just remember, at the end of the day she's got haters and makes upwards of 5 figures or more a month - she's doing something right :D The biggest reason I got attached to that place was having the camgirls only section. I like being able to discuss business details without the guys being able to read it. I don't want them to know what my next marketing technique is if I discussed it on a forum. No, you don't HAVE to post an introduction first, but on any forum that is usually common courtesy. And by all means she gets to turn off customer face once she is in the models only section. Yes I totally agree that would be bad if it were all mixed in together, but that's why the models only section has to be a verified model. So she can have her cake and eat it too.
As for the specifics of that forum - no, models are not required to worship her to be on there. Yeah I'm sure a lot of the guy fans do worship her, but ultimately isn't that what we are all seeking... people to "worship" us into wanting to spend money on us? A guy isn't going to spend money on you if he doesn't like you. He either likes you or he doesn't like you. For those that bash her for having male fans worship her.......... can you honestly tell me you don't have any worshippers? If you don't you wouldn't be making any money and I'm sure you wouldn't be here. I don't care how horrible you think you might be on cam, but there will always be someone out there that's going to say "omg this girl is the greatest thing since slice bread"... does that make you any less of a person because someone thinks you are amazing and worships you? Nope, that makes you a pretty fucking smart person who figured out how to work the cam and make money with it.
I am often puzzled as to why it is every time I come here and it's inevitable that I'll come across another Amber hate post. We don't sit in that forum there and talk about how much we hate the girls on here, or hate how this place is run. So why so much effort into hating someone and something that means nothing to you?
For the record: I've never once said Amber is my favorite model, or the best model, or anything of that nature. There's a few who I think have mastered how to use what they got, but I don't consider any of them better than the other.
And especially the girls on here who are very head strong about the fact that this is the internet, and if someone bitches at you, either get over it or cry yourself a river. I'm totally right there with ya on that. So for those that can say how it's the internet and to get over it...... why not get over Ambers forum? Or get over that post with the bashing. There's bashing here, there and everywhere. It's just a matter of how much you care and let it bother you.
I'm a firm believer anything and everything is what you make it. Do you think the posts here are hateful or rude? Well then you think this place is hateful or rude. So what. It is what it is. You can either let it bother you and get pissed off over it, or just say whatever and keep going. But yes I will still say I agree I think it's a good idea once in a while to have one of these "please stop posting stupid questions over and over again" threads to remind people who have signed up since the last shit storm thread of repeat posters.
Or what about: one time we discussed this on AC how to cut down on repeat posts, and one of my ideas (I'm not even sure if I actually openly suggested it?) was on the signup page to make a new forum account they should have to take a test. It doesn't need to be anything elaborate. A simple 5 questions would do. They could either be "Do you understand that probably half of the things you want to post about have been discussed before in great lengths, and if you don't search for those old posts you not only annoy the shit out of everyone else, but you only cut yourself short because the epic answers that have been given before aren't going to be given again." Because I think that's the biggest thing for newbies to understand... when they get attacked for posting the same questions that have been answered before, it's natural human reaction to get defensive and end up with "thanks for being such bitches ladies, I'll make sure to never post here again". The attacked newbie is now upset, frustrated and not thinking clearly, she is NOT going to understand it from the other side. And most importantly she isn't going to understand how much information she is missing by not searching for herself first. Hell, even AFTER explaining to someone why they got attacked a lot of time they still won't understand. That is just unfortunately how most of the population thinks. Or by using a test it could be something like "what is the topic of the 2nd sticky on this page?" and truly seeing if they are really just that lazy to not even go look that up.

Allllll this. Thank you. ;) I am a member of the AC forum and there are a lot of people who appear to be speaking on things they don't understand. Back when MFC was my main focus, that site was a boon. It's not for everybody though and so taking that into consideration, why does it keep coming up?

No one said that models worships her as a requirement to be on there..It's a fact they suck her ass anyways. It's disgusting. It's quite sad to me as a cam girl that the girls on that forum go on there - and go after HER customers anyways when they can't really get their own. They suck her ass like she's done something late and great with camming. She makes 5 figures? Really? Somehow - I realllllllllly doubt that. EVERY cam girl or any girl in the adult industry has haters. Matter of fact, everyone has haters. That's life in general.
I don't waste my time sitting here making posts up saying how much I hate the AC forum. The topic was brought up and I elaborated in it. That was it. You can search your little fingers off because this is actually the first time I have talked about it the most. Someone SAID something and I said something in reply to it. Conversation. It's not a puzzling thing. It's clear as day what goes on in AC and SW. The difference between SW and AC is this - Here we have just women and people IN THE INDUSTRY. In AC - you have a glorified ass kissing fest and glamorizing the cam industry itself. It's the stroking of the ego for her - period. It's a sheer example in MY OPINION, of bad business. No one else's. I voiced my opinion and that's it. That's an OPEN invite for stalkers and saying HEY - come find me and kill me. :) That's also handing all of her customers over to any other cam chick that comes along and sharing the hard working secrets she has. The difference is - the majority of us HERE do NOT mind doing so here and elaborate on doing so where as THERE - it's clear that IT IS ALL ABOUT AMBER and NO ONE ELSE.
What I care about - is what the rest of the shitty cam girls in the industry make the rest of us HONEST cam girls make us to be. I care about how much of us work our asses to the bone to make the dime. I care about how much of us do not cut corners. I care about alllllll that shit. I care about all of us exchanging the information and it being organized to the fact that it is attainable and accessible to ANY hard working determined female that wants to make a name for herself in this business instead of sitting there, looking pretty and expecting to get tipped for no apparent reason.
I have a serious issue with the AC forum ONLY because it's a following that everyone does that what AMBER does. NO ONE is an individual. EVERYONE DOES WHAT AMBER DOES. Everyone kisses Amber's ass. The girls AND the guys. Like I said - glorified ass kissing frenzy that makes everyone cocky and vain. It is disgusting. I am not downing ANYONE for going there. I am not SAYING do not go there. I am not saying anything or the sort - but when someone ASKS me for my opinion on something - I am going to give it because that is my style. I wouldn't be ME if I wasn't. I wouldn't have made my MARK on this industry if I wasn't. I don't need the popularity or a sure fire following of a million guys to have that.
All I need is the paycheck so my bills are paid and there is money in the bank at the end of the month and I am GOOD TO GO.
All I am saying is - if you want real business advice that isn't sugar coated and isn't a crock of BS where you can expect things to BE what people say they will be - stick with SW.
If you want things to be sugar coated, people to lie to you, people to kiss your ass and do things that someone else does and be a FOLLOWER instead of developing your OWN sense of style and uniqueness for a niche in the industry while making sure people know it's all because of SOMEONE else - go to AC.
and if you think I am just blowing smoke - go on there and just watch and read - watch and see how things go down. Watch how people treat each other. Watch the customers. Watch the girls. Watch Amber. Watch how things happen. You'll see what I am talking about. It is NOT rocket science and it is NOT hard to figure out.

I don't know about that. I never really posted on the forum that the guys can read. Most of her customers probably do not even know I exist.
And no I don't kiss her ass and neither do a lot of other girls...I have only spoken to her 2 or 3 times...I appreciate that she takes the time to provide a verified forum for us (I wish we had that on here) but that's about as far as it goes. I don't think she's done anything original with camming, she's successful but she's not the be all end all or anything particularly unique.
Sure, some girls kiss her ass and talk to her regs because they think it will further their MFC careers, but you can't tar everyone who posts on there with the same brush. I rarely post on there anymore anyway but I wanted to clear that up.

Exactly - some of the girls KEEP themselves out of it so they are NOT known. I think that is GREAT. That shows that they are at the very least awesome. It shows they are at least willing to gather and get their own clientele. I have seen SOOOO many just grab so many others customers and steal customers.
Like I said - I didn't point fingers. I said many models do. I have seen it on that forum and I have seen it on twitter. Like I said, I didn't say EVERYONE - I said if you pay attention, at the end of my post, you'll see who does what.

I think if the person in charge of this site had a problem with it, they would stop it. That's all I'm saying. Not gonna go back and forth about it.
Kitana is so right.
I have experienced all that she said on my own skin on AC;s forum...
Excuse us for having different opinions in "your house" Amber.
I feel bad for the models who do not know this forum exists..
They are stuck in Ambers JailHouse.
and it wasn't like I was trying to be right about saying all that hun. It was more the less I was just pointing out that why can't they all be individuals and do their own THINGS and find their own niche in the industry?
What I don't understand is - as women - we all have one thing - power of the pussy - and why it is NOT used - is beyond me! And not only that - but many women if not all of us are so seductive in nature that we just don't use our heads enough. Personally, what I do is...in this forum, I have read enough advice that I take it all to heart. I take it, make my own notes and adapt it to use it in MY OWN way and in MY OWN STYLE. It's not using everyone else's style but shaping it into my own way that is something that is unique to just ME and no one else.
I just wish that girls wouldn't suck another's ass in order to get somewhere. I mean look at the other top girls on MFC. They surely didn't kiss anyone else's ass to get where they are. They did it on their own. Look at some of the wonderful escorts - they did it on their own. Some of the girls have MENTORS - but they did it with proper guidance and leadership. They weren't bloodsucking leaches from beyond the grave about it.
I wasn't trying to be an uber cunt about it. But hey, you know me - I am the abrasive honest chick and I am ALWAYS honest and sometimes I don't mean to come off so harsh but that's the way I am and it won't change. I know I should just stop apologizing for it. I will always be 100% REAL AND HONEST THAT WAY because that's what I think this industry demands. No bullshit. :)

I think Amy meant on Ac's forum.. cause thats whats happening there...
KitanaBlades
06-19-2011, 09:14 PM
Ok - let me just put this out for some clarity...
It is a popular misconception about me that people think because I am so honest and abrasive with how I come across with things that I am trying to take control and being top dog or top bitch in some respects. I'm not. It's the way I am. It's called being super headstrong and opinionated.
Here's just my opinion on the way I see things about me...and the way I do things and more so in the way of the AC forum. So bare with me.
As I have said MANY times - I am an abrasive honest person. I come off that way because I am that way. I won't change because I mean to be that way and I do not sugar coat anything for anyone.
If you do not like it, there is the ignore button. It's that simple.
If I wanted to be a top bitch or top dog of a forum, I would go make my own forum but I think I make a decent enough contribution to SW that I like it here and I will continue to do so.
Some people THINK I may respond just to start an issue or just to run my pretty face at an issue but I respond because that's my right as a member here. I don't think many people think things through alot before they post things here. I think people just type and type before they realllllly think about what they are saying. If I smell bullshit, I am calling you on it. If I think something sounds shady, I am calling you on it. If I think something is cool and awesome, I will praise you on it. If I think you are coming out your face wrong, I will tell you to fix it. I keep myself 100% honest and straight up - at all times and that is how I will ALWAYS be and I EXPECT people to do the same to me.
Sometimes - people may not like what I have to say just like I may not like what people have to say to me either - but when people say something to me - I respect them for it - you know why? Because they have the balls just like I do - to stand up and be 100% real about something - and that's why I am such a kick ass cam girl with a great following. My customers LOVE that I am not some fake cam girl (well to some certain extent - refer to the ugly post LOL) that sits back and lies through the grit of her teeth. I am also not the the type of girl that sits back and follows everyone else either. I can tell when someone is 100% real because when people ARE that way - they DO not care what others think of them. They are too worried about helping their fellow individuals in their line of business and saying screw the jealous haters that are too busy worrying about what they will say next rather than looking at the bright side of things.
I have always been a natural born leader in my life. So, if you wanna get pissy or snotty at me because of the replies to posts that I have made - that's your god given right to be - but there's the ignore button and no one is stopping you from using it. I will continue to be a contributing member of SW regardless if people like what I have to say or not.
All I know is this - you don't have to like what I post. You don't have to read it. You don't have to like me at all - but at the end of the day - I am here to lend a helping hand. I am going to continue to do so only because I am something to contribute. If you are going to get offended that I will not LIE, sugar coat or bend the truth to simply soothe or stroke someone's ego only to make someone feel better then you can hit the ignore button now....
Like I have said a thousand times - I am abrasively honest - I do not mean to come off harsh but I do - it is something that I do - and it is something that I will not quit doing. I don't take things personal. I let things go in one ear and out the other when it comes to that. The only way it gets personal with me is when you make a comment about my health. As for example with the health and camming post I made, that is a sign that I feel comfortable here...and that I want to be here - that is something that took ALOT OF BALLS to write. My health is something that is ENTIRELY HARD to speak about.
Get over it or hit the ignore button. Either which way - I won't quit contributing my piece regardless of what anyone anywhere thinks of me because the cause is much greater in MY OPINION.
Again, that's how I see things in regards to posting or replying to things here. I cannot apologizing for how I see things or how I see the world. I accept things on a realism basis. Men are scum. Men are disgusting. Many chicks aside from the chicks on SW are stupid and the world itself is retarded. I cannot sit here and sugar coat anything else when everything is what it really is....
I hope that clarifies where I come from WHEN I post things and reply to things.

Well Fridays - it frustrates me to the max that some females get so offended, threatened, insecure or whatever they get from me.
It's just apparent to me that I am going to say the things that everyone else is too scared to effin say LMAO to me I think it's a good thing - not to mention you know when I get going I am super hilarious!
For real though - I mean no harm or disrespect - I am just SUPER abrasively honest and that is just the way I AM because I don't see on being anyway else...I mean should I sit here and say - OMG if I say this would I hurt their feelings? Then what does the saying - "The truth hurts" really mean then?

If you have a question - find the relevant thread and UPDATE THAT ONE - it moves it to the FRONT of the list so it will be NOTICED. There is NO need to post an entire new thread.
There are also stickies on the forums. LOOK FOR THOSE!
How hard IS that? Why waste space with new threads? Find the OLD thread - post what you want to know - it makes it new and goes to the top of the list - then the thread has all of the old AND new information in the SAME place!!
Fwiw girl, at one point on this forum, there was a bit more strictness on resurrecting old threads. Some of the newer members also consist of old members coming back under a new user name and transitioning from dancing to camming (and thus, still operating under the old rules). Whether those rules have officially changed hasn't exactly been defined. Perhaps it may be best to pm a mod about that. Just like at one point it was against the rules to post threads about "what should my stage name be," but that's become more relaxed now (and I dig that).
Not saying I disagree with the concept of mega threads, as I actually prefer that method of organization myself. However, it may be something to keep in mind.

I just searched BEST HAIR DYE
And was given results:
Booty Pic Thread
Clubs in Portland
STUPID annoying shit Ive heard on cam…..
Tons of threads having nothing to do with HAIR DYE. Ive gone a few pages, and saw nothing.
Its stupid. Trying less broad terms does the same thing. Now, I know Ive seen such threads. But can't find it. Im tempted to start a new one, at the risk of having tomatoes thrown at me for starting yet another hair dye thread.
KitanaBlades
06-19-2011, 11:47 PM
Well "best hair dye" has nothing to do with camming LMAO!
WHY NOT UPDATE the OLD THREADS!!! I am ALL FOR IT! I for one think the newer girls especially ones like myself and the other girls could use it....it would dumb down on all this bitching about the "OMG I USED THE SEARCH AND I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING"
I just don't get it...why is it so hard for all of you to do is a search on something so simple? Don't do something broad - do it on SOMETHING SMALL so you don't get such large results and don't get so overwhelmed. You catch my frustration...I don't understand how some people can search and get results and OTHER people can't. Do people NOT know how to use the Internet? This is just frustrated...
I say bring back the old threads...It saves so much trouble instead of started 8 more NEWS ones that the others are doing...It's exactly why NO one can find anything because everyone has everything scrambled everywhere else...I'll take the tomatoes with you.

Yeah, I hear ya. I believe that rule has become more relaxed as well (which is cool with me), just not everyone knows that I guess. I think once the transition from Other Work to CaCo completes and some more threads get stickied, it will smooth out.

Exactly. I just think some people are not properly educated on the effective ways to search.
Sometimes it is not as simple as typing in a few words or one word and clicking on something. Sometimes you have to get technical with it. After all, YOU ARE TELLING IT WHAT TO LOOK FOR. The code in the search script does what YOU tell it to do.

Who gives a shit - another post saying the same thing - don't read it then - it's not difficult.
Personally i spend five minutes searching for what i want. If i can't find it i post about it. If you don't like it, don't repsond to the thread. Simple. So it's annoying - life's annoying get over it.
People creating threads on forums telling other people how to use forums is also annoying but such is life.
P.S. Now if you create a thread very similar to another thread on the same page - that is a bit annoying - well more lazy than anything else. But hey - we've all done it, we've all gone on a forum eager to ask a question, posted our thread and then realised there's the exact same question being asked two posts below. Sometimes you're just too eager to get that info that you forget to use your eyes.

Wow really? That wasn't very nice was it? Maybe you spend 5 minutes searching for what you want - but it takes some people an hour, 3 days or 2 minutes. DO you know how long it takes for these girls to keep everything organized and everything in one place so everyone else can benefit from it? Personally - NONE OF US, including me, would have access to ANY of this information if it wasn't for the vets that busted their ass to do so.
It's because of attitudes like that and people that are too damn lazy and want to be SPOONFED with getting information that people do get pissed about not being able to find any information. Is it THAT hard to spend a little bit of time to WORK and find the information you want to know?
You know what's annoying? When you have to create another post that was posted for the 50th TIME when we have answered it a million times just to satisfy your selfish spoiled little ass? Take a class on using the search function and the utilization of search engines. It's annoying that anyone cannot take useful information such as the Internet or free computer classes or anything else and GAIN FULL ADVANTAGE and using every resource available to you instead of saying - OMG IT'S TOO HARD OR I CAN'T FIND IT.
That right there was the WHOLE POINT of this thread.
LIFE wouldn't be so ANNOYING if people would learn to use the bump above their shoulders with the common sense God gave you instead of ignoring the chance to take advantage of the information put right in front of you that's 100% free but you BITCH that you can't find it and refuse to learn how to and expect everyone else to just GIVE it you. EVERYONE ELSE has to work to gather their information and share it as such. BUT no - you have to sit there and CRY about how HARD it is to find something and make the rest of it work our asses off to get the answer for YOU so you don't have to do anything. I can't even tell you how many times girls ask questions and in the thread of the same question there's countless links that people have dropped with the SAME THING over and over again. You want something - go find it. But no - you post a NEW thread that was posted 4 times yesterday and ask again today so you can be lazy and have everyone else look FOR you instead of doing it yourself. LAZY LEECHER.
Like I said before - Computers are NOT stupid machines. Most of the time it's the person working it that is the problem. It does what WE tell it to. It is called machine manipulation. Sometimes it is not as simple as typing in a few words or one word and clicking on something. Sometimes you have to get technical with it. After all, YOU ARE TELLING IT WHAT TO LOOK FOR. The code in the search script does what YOU tell it to do.
WAY to go on the contributions to SW. I'll make a million more threads if I have to explaining to other people how to do things if I would have to - only because if you read through other threads and posts - girls are TIRED of the same thing, every day and having to coddle people who are too lazy to find out information and do research for themselves. I will continue to do so BECAUSE it's the right thing to do when you see that everyone who works their ass off gets pissed, aggravating and upset because it seems like MANY people take it for granted and advantage.
I would crack up one day if MANY people had NO access to this forum because they just sat back and didn't contribute because everyone handed the answers to them because they were too lazy to find anything for themselves. It would be funny if ONE day - those people had NOWHERE to get their information because their #1 spot to go to when they refuse to find out something on their own no longer is accessible. Let's see THEN how many people would JUMP to contribute or keep things organized just so they could stay in the loop and have access to priceless information here.

i am not a tech-smart person by any means, but i do know how to use the computer to research, if you want the info that bad you will set time aside to go find it. the problem is, if it takes more than 5 min then that's it, can't find it. it takes a long time to search things most of the time. if you don't wanna set appropriate time aside to do so then why take someone else's precious time to go find it for you? i am not trying to be rude, but i really do think that is pure laziness.

No we all haven't, actually. When I have a question, I look around and search for the answer, and most of the veteran members on this forum do the same thing. It does not take a lot of time or effort to just look at the other topics on the first page.
Ladies, if you're not tech savvy enough to figure out how to search on a forum, I question your ability to be a successful camgirl, since it really helps to be at least somewhat tech savvy. You don't have to know how to code your own website or anything but a little knowledge will only help you to be successful.

Yeah no problem.
I've had a re-think on this. To be honest i now think you're right. It is lazy and selfish to not search first. Hadn't really considered the amount of time and effort that people put into this forum.
So i take it back. I will endeavour to search more thoroughly in the future.

Thanks booby. That's a kickass STATEMENT from someone at least owns up to their part and owns up to their not knowings. I think that's awesome.
We all have bad days love. No worries.
