alosso: As an example, the "edit" button shows for the status message of a foreign CC, alas out of function. This, too, is subject to owner's permission - do you see it in your own CC?
No, you're correct. I see the 'edit' button on other CC home pages (not working) but not on my CC's page.
As for Club Tools, when I go to a foreign club's page and click on Club Tools and then Email Members it does open a message window so I assume it works from there.
Anyway, it was just something I was curious about, I don't wish to seem like I'm a dog with a bone about this. I completely accept the idea that it falls within the category of wonky programming.
Thanks.
