looks great Ford, maybe that will inspire me to add a progreesive glass kit to one of my machines now. On your award glass, do you know where I can get a "1500" jackpot decal? My Blazing 7s did not come with one.

Thanks,

David

Thanks. Drove me nuts until I had it working. Did a lot of reading over & over on posts on NLG.
Sometimes you can find decal on ebay. Most of the time they want too much for them.

I told you I'd get it working. Amazing what one symbol will do. I've been uploading for a week. kept going back in & making changes until it worked.

Ford,

Sorry I wasn't able to help you with this over the weekend
been so busy and I decided to go to the casino for lunch today and watch the football game.

Glad you finally got it going...I know it's a real hair puller
setting it up for the first time but hopefully you learned something
AND wrote it down...... :89-

Tim

Thanks Tim
It did me good to work it out. This way I hope I'll remember.
Want to make some changes working before I write it down.
Have to experiment around some more to see what results are like.

One tip, when you're noodling around making changes to see what they'll look like, start the text with a number that you keep incrementing every time you make changes, that way you can tell right away if the new version was uploaded successfully while you're testing stuff out.  Then, remove the number when you're all done.

For example:

1 This is my test message.


2 This is my test message.  I'm trying something new.


3 This is my test message.  I'm trying something new.  ...and something else.


By putting that number up front, you don't have to wait until your message gets to the new part to see if it actually took or not.
