Thanks for the replies...
@ NoirRen, yes I am tired of this. I haven't seen a thread making these two specific suggestions perse, but after some review I have noticed that both suggestions have been said repeatedly one way or another.

@ kpau, YES!!! Blows my mind why they don't implement this simple fix?!?! Seems like a very quick set of adjustments to the code and *boom!* much happier player base!

Still scratching my head.... it would be nice if they would tell us why they don't just do the obvious here!
