At someone elses urging, I'm trying something new, and hopefully more "productive".
One constructive bit, this thread has served (and will continue to) as a good source of topics which we can use to help create a constructive list of fixes or work-arounds from. Feel free to take things people here are bitc.. noting and post working solutions on the sister page. (Then maybe note that you did that here, with a link to your post, like I've done?)
