That deserves a thank you, Dan. So... thank you!

I noticed that too. I'm going to miss that bug -- it was getting a bit like Charlie, Lucy, and the football.

Didn't do it on mine. What an (icon) drag. Took me all of 8 seconds to do it myself but I could have done so much more with that 8 seconds...

it always worked for me. You just have to log out of your admin
and log back in after the installation.

OK but why would anyone do that?

So... average log-out and log-back-in time vs Mike's 8 seconds.

Seems a precious second or two can be saved here...

8 seconds on the outside! More like 4 or 5. Log in and out? 1 minute? Half a lifetime for a mayfly!

Sounds more like it.

OK, so it's Mike's dragged 5 secs (conservative) vs logging out and in. Can't be much in it. A mayfly's toilet break, perhaps?

That reminds me... I have an appointment with dust-tinny (me dunny). Catch y'all on the rim. :)

Killa, sounds to me like you're a prime candidate for a MonkeyLabs Controlled Phase Distortion Transmutation™ (CPDT™) Device, featuring the Return to Now™ button. In tandem with a pair of MonkeyLabs SuperMultimedia Flippers™, the world is, was, and always will be your oyster. You'd be able to waste time you didn't even know you have... or was that "don't"... or "had"... at any rate (literally), you'll even be able to gain time you wasted that you knew you had but thought you'd never get back.

It's features such as these that have made MonkeyLabs™ Industries Pty Ltd the go-to manufacturer for all manner of time wasters and space cadets down here in Jungleville. There's a plaque mounted above our main admin building's front entrance depicting yours truly uttering a sentence that has become a defining moment in manufacturing history down here. It reads, "If you want to be successful in this business, you must strive to give folks what they want, wanted and will want."

Soaring, inspirational stuff, impregnated with pathos and gravitas, IMHO.
