Hot Buttons (test) in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Just wanted to check that the idea of 'Hot Buttons' as I call them, work. To be more accurate, I wanted to check that I could make them work. The second one is just to see if I've done my homework and made it open in a new window. <img src="http://i93.photobuc

[color="#8B0000"][size="3"] What is the value of subscription ?[/size][/color] When I bother to overthink it, I realise I have no idea what value the subscription model represents to Wincustomize and/or Stardock.

[size="3"][color="#0000FF"]Where is the sizzle?[/color][/size] [B]Sell the Sizzle, not the Steak.[/B] It should be fairly obvious that I'm a supporter of Wincustomize and the Charity Drive. I support the site simply because I value it and can afford to express it through subscription. Elsewhere I've said I put a value on keeping the site as open & accessible as possible, because that's what helps to attract some of the beginners of today, and support them becoming the

That would probably be the Msgboard Chatroom Marathon thread, presently standing at 13,344 posts. Assuming each subscription is claimed and not recycled, that amount of posting in this thread would raise approx $400.00 for the charity 'Child's Play'.
