@Akimbo, you have been one BUSY guy!! Thanks for all that you’re putting into this!

I appreciate that. We have been working on this upgrade for about a year and I have been lifting pieces written for the ScubaBoard Knowledge Base project, which we starting exploring about 4 years ago.

I have been revising drafts of FAQs written for the earlier version of the software we were testing. Don't think that I have the talent to write all these threads from scratch anywhere near as fast as they are being moved into the FAQ forum.

A lot of credit goes to all the Staff volunteers, especially @Miyaru. The guy is amazing.
