Mate no hard feelings man Thanks very much in fact for posting your question. Just a small thing if you can do will save us a lot of trouble .

When you are in a situation like this where you have searched and found the post but were not satisfied by the replies . Well reopen the thread , just adding a post to the thread will open up your post .

OR if at all you want to create a new post just mention that you found the old post but were not satisfied by the replies so need further clarification .

I am sure either of the above two cases some one will certainly help you out .

Thanks again mate .

Cheers !!!!!! :)
