Some small changes have been made to the delivery page to make the cut off times for orders more visible. We are sorry the information was hard for you to find. The popup window mentioning the cut off is also viewable from the product page by clicking the "FREE shipping available if you spend more than £100! Find out more..." link as well as the location you mentioned in your post. Hopefully the changes to the delivery information page will make this information easier to find. We will review the delivery page again when we begin our next template revision, which should be underway before too long. We try to review pages on a regular basis, though as you rightly point out it's always good to have an outside point of view. Hi,

It's shown at the top of the screen while you are typing. Glad I noticed... although with 1000 free texts a month, it's probably not going to be a cost issue for me!

The link works again now though, so I'm happy. :-) Upon checking the ’snapshot’ Zotero made of the original Informaworld webpage, it looks like it was the Informaworld website at fault for providing the wrong link, and not Zotero at all.

Unfortunately they can then end up getting pushed through the ground when they try to align themselves, so there's no perfect solution. Previously, the physics worked rather poorly with this, but the CLOZE quiz which Jeremy Kemp has been working on manages the temporary physics better, so I'll maybe use the same idea as he had.

My initial request was for a cube with these stacking properties for a 3D Graphing Tool in Second Life ..... which can be found in a "Data Visualisation" display I'm putting together in International Schools Island. In the entrance of the Technology Tower SLURL http://tinyurl.com/2o44dw .... and, Peter, really appreciate the work you have done on this ... brilliant. Feedback on v1.1 .... if set to 'anyone move' and 'not physical' then I think the possibility of users dropping the cubes into the ground and losing them is quite high .... pictures of a 'cubes graveyard' are flashing through my mind. One solution for me to this is organisational (I don't know if a scripting solution) ... advise users(teachers/students) to work on a SkyPlatform ... then can be cleaned up after a lesson. (Chris) Feedback & Thanks.

I can see many uses for this in the ESL world. Example - crossword puzzles, word searches, building words - looks great! It’s great Peter! I can see many uses for this in the ESL world.

You should get some screenshots of this! Could do a variety of games with this - like put textures on an array of cubes and challenge people to re-assemble an image :-) I might try that one out, actually... what else could we do with this? Nice one… sounds funky.
