Re: Those where the days before WWB

Like Alan and a lot of others I started with something other than WWB. For me it was WebPlus. Worked fine for me until everything needed to be responsive. I had tried the trial version of WWB10 and saw the potential but didn't actually buy it and start learning it and using it until V11. It didn't t...

Perhaps that should be a global option in WWB, to automatically open a new LG with your preferred type. A user selected default.

You have to be sure that objects are actually in the layout grid.
