After some 13 years of doing this service on this board, and the previous one, I am finally hanging up my boots. I will continue to honour my contract with whoever has a current license below, but will no longer take any more new contracts, nor renewals. You may obtain from me your ribbon file in Photoshop format, and or PNG format, even if it has been deleted from the PBase server. The Photoshop file is the file witch which you can edit your own ribbon rack and host it wherever you wish. Send your request for your ribbon file at cplbaldwin (at) gmail.com, and I will reply with instructions on how to resize it to post it to this forum.
Any other updates you may have, please send to me by email.
