Thanks eugenevh !! Please work to get more to join the party!!

And I took care of the type-os..

[eugenevh]

Ops Manager this is exactly why DiMA DESERVES to be the leading forum in the market. The innovations just keep on coming whereas the others are slowly dying bit by bit. ;-)
I see the site is growing with more interactions too, which is what Dima needs. Good things are bound to happen pretty soon.

PS. There is a small typo in the OP : "The software now howas notifications" as well as "Login wwith your" Sorry, the Grammar Nazi in me just couldn't resist. I'll get him to go sit down again.
