Hi Dale,
Give me a break...don't you think accuracy would
give you a better score? Control N ...what?
Doesn't it seem a little strange that you can have a
logging program that you CAN'T edit a logged entry.
I can't believe I'm having this conversation.
I need to keep a log of errors for my logged
entries.... what?
I would think the "PRIME DIRECTIVE" would be to
accurately keep track of your contacts AND accurate
running totals .That might impact the outcome.. These are
not accurate if I can't edit my log in real time. Maybe this
could be a multiplier logged wrong....that I won't chase
because TR says its already in the log. Could be a
band mistake. Could be any number of things that
could impact my "performance"

Why?...Why should I wait till after the contest is over before
fixing a mistake AND getting an accurate picture of my
performance during a contest. Why is this better done "AFTER"?

Please note what you said...stop where I am and fix it....
That's all I'd like to be able to do without shutting the program down,
starting a text editor, finding, fixing, closing and starting TR again
etc etc.
Do you like having totals wrong?. Does it somehow
improve your performance? Isn't having an accurate log
and score more important then most of the bells and
whistles that, I'm betting a good number of TR users
don't understand,....much less use?
I don't expect Tree is going to "fix" it anytime soon...but Jeez
would you at least agree an accurate and timely log is better
then an inaccurate one the should be fixed....after the contest?
How about at least a ..REAL TIME EDITOR....(Default off)
something simple.......dream on...I guess I better practice
my CW skills....Now if you guys would just stop making
mistakes sending it...I wouldn't have a need to edit my log
during OR after the contest......
