[ANSTHRLD] Website functionality

That is a very good point.  OSCAR should help going forward, but it 
would be nice to see if we could come up with for the older stuff.  I 
have had the same issue as you, but I just don't hit it as often to feel 
your level of pain on it.

Can't help you with OSCAR though. :-D  That was one of the nice things 
about ACE.

No kingdom herald preparing letters provides a complete submission history for all items and submitters are good at presenting resubmissions as new submissions. It affects payment and reason for return issues that commenters need to know. Past submissions of name elements often contain needed information that can save hours of reading.
