Hey Cheryl/All:
That question you replied to came from the website discussion boards, so
I am going to post your answer over there in the next hour or (so if you
don't beat me to it).
People on the discussion board aren't necessarily signed up here - so if
you see something that says... "This message was posted by Impressions
Embroidered Apparel on the Amayausers.com Discussion Boards. To reply,
please go here:" down at the bottom of the post, then it's best to
reply on the discussion boards. Your post will then be echoed to the
list.
Still working on ways to make this clearer from a web admin side of
things. I'll figure it out eventually! ;)
