I visit this forum to find solutions to a problem, not read someone's rant. If Macromedia or Adobe listed a product here that could help me solve a problem in dealing with Xcart design issues I'd say thank you. Awhile back I purchased an add-in to make Authorize Net work with X-Cart, I found the add-in 'searching' this forum, NOT the WEB. If every vendor that had a product that works with X-Cart were to list their product it might take up a couple of pages BFD.
I vote for a Vendor Forum where I can visit and and find offerings from those of us that create custom add-in products and then want to share our creation and pay the phone bill.
