Isn't middle click all the gibs, then ctrl+tab all of them easier?

that only works as long as your mouse middle click works too (:
mine died like a month but i dont really need it. that much, in fact im so used to not having it anymore :P

You could always use ctrl+ left mouse button instead.

Why does people always try to find faster ways to enter giveaways? It's not like middle-clicking the giveaways and then clicking "enter" on all of them takes so much time. :P

So much this. Besides people lose so much from ignoring description, hidden gibs there, sometimes :p

Apparently you have to ignore every description with this method. My method lets you switch pages quickly.

holy shit...and i was losing precious time with right click open in new tab

You can also hold Ctrl then click if your middle mouse button is hard to press. Then after joining Ctrl+W to close the tab (on Chrome).

Ctrl + W works on every browser, actually :P.
It also works on Windows' Files Explorer.

I deleted my method. My method was Hold CTRL and LEFT CLICK each giveaway. Hold CTRL and Press pagedown. If you're using firefox, have "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" uncheck.
The link is better because you have the option to read the description without going to the page.

You had 5-6 public giveaways at first? After that you went full private mode. Why would I care?

All my private giveaways are forum giveaways. But whatever. I don't even know why I bother talking to you. You sure won't enter any of my giveaways in the future now anymore ;)

My method lets you switch pages quickly. It's that simple. It has nothing to do with ignoring the description or without saying thank to the giveaway creator. You're overreacting.

Well, considering that eeev is a very active member of the community who does quite a bit of Forum GA drops - like a lot of us do, to avoid just random join spam as opposed to people who really want to own and play the game - that might be a reason to care.
Another reason to care would be the amount of blacklists you'll find yourself on after this comment.

You made your last giveaway TWO YEARS ago, why would ANYONE care about you?

Just a reminder since the Age of Entitlement seems to be coming into SG more and more often...

I just do Middle mouse(Wheel) and click enter then close page.
However, keep in mind that doing this puts you in a risk of missing important descriptions, which require special rules and you MIGHT lose the giveaway even if you win, by ignoring special rules that giveaway creator made.
So before you close page, check out description.
Comment has been collapsed.
She probably won't lose the GA, but she'll probably be put in a lot of blacklists by ignoring the descriptions. Although she says she never mentioned ignoring them, I don't know how you can enter multiple giveaways faster than "opening in a new tab, clicking enter", if you'll read the descriptions anyway.
Comment has been collapsed.
Indeed right, also there might be rare cases if you ignore special rules and win, giveaway creator can re-roll.
So it's best to always be careful, and if you suggest such thing, also warn people to be careful about it, some people might just read only beginning and then enter giveaways fast, leading them into ignoring descriptions and then losing giveaway.

Or you can just use SteamGift AutoJoin, even with site closed
Comment has been collapsed.
No, it has one-click join only. This and the "open giveaway pages as an overlay" of SG++ (or is it a separate userscript?) are the most convenient ways of entering GAs instead of using the archaic open-new-tab-all-the-time-and-click button one.
Auto-join scripts are… well, they don't really have practical uses. They really just join everything on the front page. I really cannot fathom why would anyone want that. Nobody can be that of a pathetic hoarder, and key resellers have easier and more consistent sources.

Well, sorry, OP, you just opened a can of worms. People around here are very sensitive when users don't read their descriptions of promoting their YouTube channels, random giveaway groups with ludicrous rules, or random Jaden Smith-esque "wisdom".
(Because I can count the actually meaningful descriptions I ever encountered on one hand. And all but one of them were developer giveaways…)

So, when I give someone a gift, I'm doing charity? :P
Comment has been collapsed.
As long as you give a gift and not "I'll give you a gift, but only if you already gifted a lot and if you qualify to my subjective list of criteria that puts you on my special "list" and only of you also did a bunch of random stuff I just made up because reasons"… then yes. This qualifies as charity since you are offering goods to people who are assumed to not be able to afford it.

Assumed to not be able to afford it....??
Comment has been collapsed.
people who are assumed to not be able to afford it.
They could afford $100 worth of unbundled games, why would we assume that
Comment has been collapsed.
That is a good indicator, but not a perfect one. What is that 100 USD was accumulated over 4 years? That's barely more than two dollars spent a month on video games. One hundredth of what some people throw at this site monthly or at even shorter periods.
Also, according to the country percentages in user composition, more than half or up to two thirds of the users live in places where the average salary is tenth of the US or less, but game prices are the same or cost half at best. I live on less than 500 Euros monthly (one seventh of median US salary, or a little over one sixth of Belgium), which is a little over the average salary here, yet I'm supposed to pay 10 to 15 per cent more for a game than an American. So we can talk about being able to afford games. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
if you live with e500 per month and you were able to reach lv6 (i'm almost in the same situation), you are the perfect example mostly anyone in here can afford not to be a leech.
so this means (at least for me) sg isn't a charity site, it's a place for people to exploit the kindness of others leeching everyone to death and not giving back even a bundled game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Still, you can't really call SG a charity when there's such a requirement to join.
And it's not just that, charity implies that there would be the wealthy gifters on one side, and the not wealthy recipients on the other, and that you can't both gift & receive games at the same time.
Also, it's a perfectly envisageable scenario that someone very wealthy would win a game from someone less wealthy than them.
I just don't think it's right to call this place a charity.

this site isn't a charity organization... it's a social hub for people that like to give away games.

It depends only on how you view it. Some look at it as a charity site, some look at it as a free cookie jar. And there are people in-between.
Comment has been collapsed.
While a whole bunch of users sure are generous (there's no denying that, they're all amazing!) on this website, generosity doesn't always mean charitable, especially when the winner is literally anyone (except those that have less than $100 worth of games already on a steam account). Those are usually people who can, at the very least, afford a pc and internet connection and if you can do that, presumably the rest of your needs to survive are already taken care of. It would be very difficult to find people who can prove that they can't afford a steam game when one of the requirements of site is that you must own steam account with games.
The closest I can think is organizations like Child's Play and Able Gamers which focus on providing entertainment for sick and disabled. They however, do know their donations are going to help someone and brighten their day unlike this website where's it's purely random and the user just has to activate their +1 to avoid being banned.

This is probably the best argument I have seen thus far.
I have to add though that computer is way less of a luxury item for years now than people assume. Around here you cannot apply to any job but low-grade physical menial tasks without an email account; job centers don't demand one yet but greatly encourage everyone to set one up if they don't.
Comment has been collapsed.
True.
Computers and uncensored internet should be available to everyone these days and in any decent country that would be just a trip down the local library. Libraries are probably a place where you don't particularly want to put your steam credentials though and even then sometimes they have time limits on usage.
To own a computer that can run games not a decade old is something else and the games themselves are definitely luxury items. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Heh, well, yes. I have to add though that my almost six-year old AMD rig could start anything released until somewhat recently (around GTA V-ish), and this exact performance is still more or less accessible even for my country (roughly 2 months of minimal wage, despite the 27% VAT). And I did build a PC with '14-introduced components out of 250 Euros that can run 3-yo AAA games. Since consoles are really holding back PC gaming for a decade now, it is easy to build a cheap gaming PC, especially since AMD APUs are a thing.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's great and all but not everyone has the knowledge and confidence to pick out parts to build a pc and not everyone has a good pal to teach them either. I didn't know anyone who was that into computers until I went to college.
Although times are changing and prices are getting cheaper without knowledge you're still at the mercy of the pre-builts from places like PC World. D:
If you can afford 125euros a month spare then you're not exactly someone can't afford a 5euro video game from steam either. x_x
Comment has been collapsed.
Nah, I meant two months of minimal wage salary. Usually people can afford it in 18-24 months and in my experience most home PCs are changed in 3-6 years. Many also buy used 3-5 years old PCs for home. I have sold a few and mediated a number of similar transactions. :)

I'm sincerely gonna try and mince my words, but honestly... i'm sincerely shocked by your opinion, regardless of whether or not in your own mind you believe you are apart from us all... we, that seemingly have an imaginary collective hive-mind.
Thank you for educating us all on our need to take the red pill and wake up. :/
Seriously now, we're all people here (well, at least those of us bothering to post on our only account, unlike OP).
Peer pressure happens pretty much everywhere, you may see it a bit more on the internet, but don't be so damn condescending towards folks around here that are old enough to have kids of their own. It's unbecoming. It has nothing to do with popularity. Just common courtesy and politeness.
The vast majority of the GAs i've done were for the general public, which per your words would make them qualify as "charity". I do like to gift IF and WHEN i can, and quite frankly... i certainly don't give 2 sh*ts about popularity. Common courtesy? Politeness? Yes, i do care about that. Blame my upbringing if you will. Not some imaginary hive-mind.
However... what i've most certainly never done is give them because hurr, durr, wurr... "charity". Sorry, but no.
Hoping to make someone's day a bit brighter through a gift in the form of a videogame is not "charity".
Use all the rationalization you want, but videogames = luxury commodity, no matter how you want to circle around it.
People around here aren't handing out food, clothing or shelter to anoyone else out there. Not through this site anyway.
If it makes you feel better feeling that you're being charitable by giving away games, by all means, whatever floats your boat. Just don't expect it to do the trick for me at least, sorry.
While the argument can be made that some folks around here are indeed incredibly generous... i'm also quite certain that friend/acquaintance most of us met along the way in life, that was always the first to pick up the tab before anyone else even got off their asses, didn't do it out of "charity". Especially if and when that friend/acquaintance was hardly the wealthiest.
It certainly didn't make him any less generous and it certainly wasn't any less heart-warming to me, at least. And to anyone else that cared to give at least a damn. Be cynical all you like, regarding that as well, for all i care.
Just don't confuse concepts that are quite apart, please, regardless of how often they do go hand in hand.
Also, you have the right to your own opinion, you just don't have the right to deem everyone else as hypocritical (even if in not so many words) or if you prefer... attendants of a popularity contest... just because most people don't share your world view. It doesn't make you the enlightened one.
Comment has been collapsed.
True, but it neither does you. If you look from my perspective, you are now trying to justify how you handle your gifts here because you find it offensive that my criteria fits you. From your point of view, I'm the Marxist of SG. :)
Still… I cannot really accept your parallel on the friend/acquaintance helping. You know your friends, and you help your friends. SG hosts raffles. If you want a parallel, then posting here outside of the whitelists is like helping a random person on the street. If one wants to gift their friends, there is a very nice feature called Steam's friend list to do that. Your reasoning is sound, but it cannot fit something that is essentially a lottery system.
(Iberians never sleep?)

Not trying to justify anything, i can only, simply put, speak as to how i handle my gifts, because well... they're my gifts... and i don't read other people's minds. I don't have the right to speak for them, only for myself.
Also, never said i was the enlightened one, i wasn't the one who made a broad comment encompassing everyone here... you were. With this:
People around here are very sensitive when users don't read their descriptions of promoting their YouTube channels, random giveaway groups with ludicrous rules, or random Jaden Smith-esque "wisdom".
Not most people, not a big portion of people, etc. You could have chosen any number of ways to describe a sentiment about whatever portion you felt fit the description, but you didn't, because apparently, everyone does. Had you done so, then you would at least be right that the shoe fit me and not that you just very elegantly put everyone in the same bag. If you put every person in the same bag, considering i am a person, then yes, you put me there too. And i was careful enough to only speak for myself, for the record.
Heck, if you notice how carelessly you phrased it (or not, still not sure if it was carelessness or actual intent), unless you're not a person, that fits you too. ;)

Well, regarding the first bit of your paragraph, i think you missed the point of the parallel to begin with. There was no intent of establishing a parallel between all that happens on SG and what happens with certain friends/acquaintances as if this is exactly the same. I'm well aware of that.
The only point was that some people aren't necessarily charitable just because they're generous, and i used that example to express how you can sometimes tell the difference more easily, that's all. No more, no less.
And also, for the record (because again, i can only speak for myself), in my particular case, when i first joined this site, i had 0 intention of gifting 1 single game. Joined it to check it out, was referred to me by an accquaintance as a means to have a chance at winning games. It was described to me as the lottery system you referred, if you will.
And because i got to actually like the vast majority of the community and its general environment, that actually compelled me to give back some. So as subjective as it is knowing someone (so it is in RL anyway), it was due to getting to know folks around here at least a bit more that i decided to start giving. Sure, there's a few bad apples (like everywhere else on earth), but thankfully there's a blacklist for that... and yes, groups and whitelists.
But then again, even if i accept the actual parallel you established (your words) with helping a random person on the street, it defeats your charity argument even more so.
Unless you mean to say you give money to totally random people on the street. Whether they're homeless or are driving a Porsche. Well, do you? Do you also call charity walking up to your balcony (figuratively speaking, it's irrelevant if you have a balcony and live above ground floor) throwing some wad of cash onto the street? As Akantha well put it, if you want to do actual charity there are far more certain ways to get it done, whether through Child's Play, Able Care or any number of organizations out there.
I can accept the lottery reasoning, just not the charity one. But ironically, isn't the blacklist, the whitelist, the group features, etc., all ways of weeding out those you feel don't really need, deserve (or both) those games? And yes, i'm fully aware it's a subjective notion, but what isn't from all of this? Isn't it in fact, a way of bringing the lottery notion closer to your notion of charity?
So why, of all people, champion for a user like OP? Wasn't that a bit SJW-esque?
But either way, i digress... so, which is it? Lottery or charity? Because how can it be both?
Unless you mean to say that's not a flawed parallel as well. ;)
P.S.: Sorry for the wall of text, i can be a windbag, but i just didn't feel there was a sure way to get my points across with a more summarized version.

Hm. This feels a bit like trying to ride on semantics.
Scratch that, it totally feels like riding on semantics. "People" as a term can mean any number of people in English and most Indo-European languages. Not "everyone", just "people". My gut feeling about you trying to be offended by something that isn't even there is getting ever stronger. :-/
But ironically, isn't the blacklist, the whitelist, the group features, etc., all ways of weeding out those you feel don't really need, deserve (or both) those games?
To a degree, yes. I do group giveaways fro two groups: Coupon Dumpster and a HOG games group. The latter naturally gets HOG GAs, the other generally higher-rated games from all price ranges. Does this narrow down the possible recipients? Yep. In the first case, ironically, I'm not even narrowing down the entry base with the first (apparently 11k users is way over the average actual viewer count of this site); and using the second to try to weed out the hoarders by offering games to a crowd that has already stated their passion for playing them. Because forget "leechers", they are not the real problem, but people hoarding these gifts for their accounts without even the slightest intent of ever touching them.
(And maybe I do am salty that the second biggest one is one of the most popular guy on the forums, but that is my personal problem. Plus he also blacklisted me when I told him, so there is that. :))
But whitelist and blacklist? Yes, it is a tool to "weed out" people. It is also a tool to enforce infantile power over someone just because you can, and the single worst and most cancerous idea on this side; especially with this current half-assed cowardly blacklist that doesn't even tell the blacklisted person that he is on the list unless they bump into it by pure chance… something that I never seen in any form of blacklist ever. But I had a rant on that once and don't intent to repeat it. It is just one of the things that has been argued over more than once among the users.
Same with levels, but I don't want to get into that either. It's just a way to promote elitism and not even a well-implemented one. I still wonder how many high-level people would drop down if the site introduced a ratio system instead of looking at strictly one of two stats.

Well, fair enough. It wasn't my intent to be nitpicky about semantics, it just honestly felt like you were distancing yourself from everyone else without exception, as if people here just gang on someone by sheer love for public stonings or something.
I mean, of all people, OP is hardly a model-user. Were this a post opened by at least a tad less shady user and i might have not come down so hard on you. Not even gonna go into full detail about that, forget the rude / infantile / obnoxious 1-liner replies, one quick skim at his profile and all things kosher about it, pretty much sums it up, as far as i'm concerned.

I will agree that the blacklist as stands is not ideal/perfect to a degree, but all in all, even if the sole usage of it was infantile as you said, i don't think nobody here is forced to give anyone anything. Honestly, believe it or not, if i find myself in a blacklist, i just move along. I don't feel entitled to win anything from anyone, and if someone feels bad about me being the winner of their games, i certainly don't want to take them.
I don't think implementing it in a way that would straight out tell the person just for the sake of telling them would be ideal either, whole new can of worms and just straight up drama. I would expect you to at least agree to that, considering how popularity-driven you consider at least some people may be.
In my honest opinion (for what it's worth), the best idea i can come up with ideally speaking, that would avoid exploitation on both ends... would be one where IF YOU choose to blacklist someone, you automatically become blacklisted by said user instantly. If you are to remove someone that YOU chose to blacklist in the past, you will only be removed from their own blacklist AFTER a full month (max GA duration time). This to avoid abuse from users who would blacklist/unblacklist for convenience alone, i.e., to enter the GAs of the users they blacklisted, then block them again.
Of course, this with full knowledge of that happening, meaning nobody would have that itchy trigger finger, considering the knowledge of the consequences. If they were still ok with them (i know i would be), then fire away.
The tricky part is that this may very well be quite the chore for cg to implement, even if he (or the majority of users on this site or both) were to agree that would indeed be the best solution. And i've said this before, but like i said before as well... often times, ideal =/= feasible. That has to be taken into account too. All in all, there is no perfect system, and i think the site provides us all with the best tools it feels it can / should. Considering how it's all also done pro bono, etc., there's hardly that much more anyone can ask... again, in my honest opinion.
Not really keen on touching on the levels/elitism bit.
There's at least 50 shades of subjectiveness on that one, and that might still be an understatment.
But again, some solution was needed, maybe there's a better one, maybe that one would just get even more abuse, as people can sadly get quite creative when it comes to abuse. But all in all, i feel you have enough overlap with the given tools to cover most of it. For instance, you feel someone is undeserving of their level, you have your BL for that. Plain and simple in my book. Sorry if it seems too black in white (no pun intended).
Just also want to add i don't agree with the most commonly spouted version of what constitutes a leecher. A hoarder is the pristine definition of a leecher in my book (or at least the first and foremost) but that's just my 2 cents on that matter as well.
And i rambled again... :)

I do. When this came up, my opinion was to remove blacklist. Completely. Along with whitelist. Without a trace.
It may have good intentions, but it turns an alarming ratio of active users into kindergärtners. "You say thanks, I blacklist you." "You DON'T say thanks, I blacklist you." "Your ratio is not high enough [what is "high?"], blacklist." "I don't like your Steam profile, blacklist." [Seriously?! o_O] "You posted a cat gif, blacklist." [Other end: "post a cat gif and I whitelist."] Whitelist can be similar, only sometimes downright frightening with criteria.
I mean… yes, I know, this is the internet, which somehow instantly drops the IQ of anyone at any random time by at least 100, especially on political blogs and news sites (assuming they even had triple digits to begin with), but come on. (I mean, look through this thread alone…)
Not really keen on touching on the levels/elitism bit.
Yeah, let's not. Seems to be this is probably the largest divise issue on the site. And the biggest reason I try to do my damndest to stay only in the Deals subsection. Less drama. More humorous polls.

Well, as i've stated in the past, i respect your difference of opinion regarding BL/WL, etc.
Just don't agree with it. As said, even if it is abused, doesn't really phase me as much as it would not having it to weed out the bad apples. I'd probably give away far less. Or just actually stick to groups. But again, that's me.

Thank you for making that giveaway. Someone will be happy to play Tomb Raider. As it would rot in my inventory since I have already played it.

For your own good and I mean it you ought to edit that sentence. :l As stated in SteamGifts' rules:
Do not ask users or developers for keys or gifts, whether in comments, chat, or outside the site.
You don't want to get perma-banned, you know, like you apparently were here :)
Another thing would be to close this thread, making it impossible to find unless someone searches for its title, reducing the number of blacklists you'll get into. Even if it may be late, it can't worsen your situation.

I never asked for keys or gift...? Do you know what this thread is about?

You seem to misunderstand, I'm not talking about your thread title, your thread subject is perfectly fine. Also I arrived after the original main post was edited, I don't know what you had written that annoyed everyone here, but if it was a misunderstanding, editing it to explain the situation may help.
I'm talking about this sentence, the one I replied to. Unless you believe that telling someone to "make a giveaway" especially "in your honor" is not asking enough, well for your salvation I hope you're right, because if it isn't, you may very well find yourself on ban vacation. It all comes down to "do you want to take the risk or not?" I guess.
P.S.: trying to help here, but if you don't want me to, good luck :/

W-why? I'm just giving pointers... Why are you going away?... Come back little child!

Oh also if you're looking for add-ons, you may be interested in this. You'll find an updated list of everything available.
Once again, I insist that you don't keep this thread open to avoid more blacklists. You could bump the add-ons registry instead.

I don't join invite/private group giveaways. There's no reason for me to close this thread. People are bumping the thread as spam. You should probably delete your comment before you get blacklisted. What's your reason for blacklisting me?
Comment has been collapsed.
Side note: Pardon me, but it seems that you constantly reply on the defensive, as if you have something against me. :L
It may just be my impression, I hope so. ô_ô
Anyway the reason I'm suggesting and insisting you close this thread is the one I previously mentioned. Of course, it's fine not to if you don't mind people spamming your thread to mock and/or blacklist you, that's your business.
I personally don't think it profitable for you to keep a thread which turned into a "blacklist crusade" open, but again, that's just me trying to suggest what should help you. Sorry. (°︵ﾟ)
Sorry, I see my text getting long. I like developing points so that there is no confusion.
Now, the reason you are blacklisted is that I still can't make hair of why everyone got so angry around here.
If that may reassure you, you won't stay on it for long, unless you tell me you're an evil potato set out to steal every game you come across without a thanks back. But then I'd eat you because, well, you'd still be a potato, and I'm always hungry for potatoes. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
An explanation in the main post would have helped, because all I could deduce from the comments is that first you shared something to browse giveaways in a fast but apparently disrespectful way. Then I see you telling people that since they do private giveaways, they don't matter to you. Which is a pretty mean thing to say. :( People giving away free things to random strangers are hardly unworthy of gratitude. Unless it's ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) but even then... Free candy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Then you edited the main post and kept on acting like a close-minded person, which you don't seem to be if you're now sharing a useful link.
Tl;dr
Keep the thread open if you want, it's your decision. ^_^
You'll be removed from blacklist soon, just what caused the hate around here?
Edit: actually, you'll be sticking around the blacklist a little longer. What's up with this? :(
P.S.: Now it makes me smile when I'm reading it, am I still scary? :3 rawr (Actually how did I scare you?)

It seems that you're breaking the blacklist record today.

I think you're making private giveaways to increase your Contributor Level and you want to call me out? I see some giveaways with 1 entry. Whats up with that?
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not sure if you're too stupid to know how private giveaway groups do work, because you've never been in one, or you're just trying to find any silly argument you can find.
We're just about to organize public SG event, like we always do from time to time, and I'll make sure that you won't take part in it, just because of the level of ignorance you have.

Well for the record, those are group giveaways, and the group we are discussing here, long story short, is a private group made of people who nobly pledge to make giveaways before joining others' giveaways.
The reason there are so few entries is that first, some games are owned by most users in the group and second, as stated previously, users MUST make a certain number of giveaways before joining others', not every user may have done that.
Also as Lemmjng stated, if a giveaway has fewer than 5 entries, it does not count towards your Contributor Level. Which means that in fact, he's been generously giving games with absolutely no SG benefit whatsoever.

didn't know that... os if a giveaway have less than 5 entries it doesn't count at all? where do you people find out that unwritten rules?

I'm not blacklisting you, I don't actually see why this is a big deal. I mean sure, I like when people read my description but I don't care that badly if they don't. There are ways to make sure people read what you wrote by doing puzzles and things if that is what you want, but otherwise there is nothing on the site requiring you contribute to the community at all. Sure I will always love the community, but that doesn't mean others can't use the site and the benefits it brings. I'll read the descriptions, but others can do what they want, and if they went through all the work to make and for others to seek out an add-on, they at least aren't mindless. And here she is trying to help people by telling everyone! She deserves a whitelist!

I had a method that I used for a year but someone else provided a better one so I edit my original post. These people thought I suggesting going full anti-social. It was a simple method to switch giveaway pages efficient.
They should probably blacklist the creator and everyone commenting on that page. Helpful people are not appreciated.

I don't think you know what this thread is about. I suggest a efficient method and everyone started a blacklist drama which I knew was coming.
Comment has been collapsed.
the problem is you linked to a script that adds a JOIN button, which most people hate here since it's a lazy way of entering giveaways.
i don't know what you put in the op before you edited it, but since this is goinf downhill you should probably close the thread.
Comment has been collapsed.
I kinda bump the thread. Since that script was posted on steamgift 6 months ago. I didn't know about this script. So I guess you'll have to blacklist the creator and everyone who comment saying thank you. If you actually look at the script. There's an option that lets you view the description without going to the page. Pretty efficient if you asked me. Why don't you take the time and read my comments. I'm tired of repeating myself.
