The point was that this is the "Wishlist" portion of the forums and I wished for the simplicity of one-button iSilo. Not a million hours trying to find an answer which seems really easy to everone else but me.

Specifically I'd like:

1) The ability to schedule my conversion. I've gone into iSiloX at the "Scheduling" tab and typed into each of my channels the time and frequency that I'd like my channels converted and all that happened was...nothing. No conversions. Back to converting them manually.

2) The ability to have link depth and still have smallish file sizes. I broached the topic in the "iSilo Usage" board and got a link to another thread that said I should just strip out all the banners and such and that if I look around I should find the means to do so. I'm still looking and still not finding and am weighing whether or not this subject is worth asking about again or if all the old-timers are tired of responding to questions like this and just ignore them.

3) The ability to have My Yahoo! as before with the password thingy that works and I can sign in and have my customized Yahoo-ness.

Meanwhile, lest it be thought of as an under-appreciative attitude on my part, let me also tell you that Ireally dig the supportive atmosphere in which people here seem to operate. I feel more comfortable being a neophyte here than in some other boards I've been to. In that vein, I want to honor the efforts of people here by making the honest and sincere attempt to find the solutions on my own before I resort to posting a new thread. That's why I'm so frustrated sometimes, because I know the truth is out there but sometimes either the truth and I aren't on the same page or just not speaking the same language (sometimes I'm not sure I'd recognize the truth if it was in front of me).

So, in repose, I am still floundering on an issue here and there, and I'm still trying to reconcile these issues on my own before I come crying to y'all. I simply miss the simplicity of AG where they have easily labeled AG-specific channels for my enjoyment or an easy (for me) way to customize a channel without getting Godzilla-like filesizes.

I like iSilo for it's limitless potential (the ability to run off the memory card, the ability to have those huge files if I want/need them). I just need to find a way to make it work for me and my comfort level.

Comforting.
