TIPS

* There can be up to a 24 hour delay in your updated message displaying on the site.

* Since there are often email deliver-ability issues it is wise to check the Manage Custom Request tool periodically to make sure you have not overlooked any requests. See these recent custom design request improvements.

The difference is made in the details!
