Thanks for the reply, Allan. I am using version 2 something. If not for your satisfaction with this tool I am almost ready to throw in the towel. I will download version 3.0.12 and try again.

For instance, while logged in as the administrator of a page in the portal, you can change the place of different elements (i.e. modules) on that page by dragging and dropping the modules - the kind of stuff I never thought I'd be able to do through a browser interface.
