Russell,  
Inquiring to see if changing a template would be possible.  
Right now the narrative style templates have a materials section then a notes section.  
Materials usually get bunched up together across the top of each section, then notes for the section and pictures under.  
Meaning:  
material, material, material  
condition, condition, condition

Would it be possible to incorporate both together?  
So for the Roofing section you could have for example:

1.1 Roof Coverings  
_Materials:_ Dimensional Shingles  
_Condition:_ **Defect**  
Bob is a Troll who comments on HG software.

1.2 Soffits and Fascia  
_Materials:_ Aluminum and Vinyl  
_Condition:_ Inspected or Acceptable

Let me know if this can be done.

1.1 Defect… Lol! Now that’s a defect! Will definitely take a specialist to correct. 🙂

Actually HG is a troll of a Inspectors forum where most of us prefer to use HIP software which does as you request by the way.  
Tell Russ to actually make software that works and not be so cheap that he needs to host this on another mans website.

This Vendor section only exists to give a false impression that Inspectors prefer it.  
Where is the more popular HIP forum?

P\>S where is your report sample fraidy cat ???

Bob,

With all due respect, please stay off HG forums. You hate it, we all get that, now please let it go.

If it is on this forum I can comment especially when addressed.  
Get your own forum.

It wastes my time reading about inferior tech .

Hi Sean,  
I think you are referring to a new style and format option? We can do it and we have another one as well we are working on too that looks different than the many choices we already have.

I will pass this on to Mike who makes the different print looks.

Dom,  
Bob gives no respect as you can see. He claims because Sean’s post he has came here, but truth is he has never left. He hovers on the contest thread and all he does is bash and put down. He’s a troll plain and simple with his own agenda.

I know we have been eating into “his cut” because sales are breaking records. Inspectors are finally doing their own due diligence and not listening to his propaganda.

Yes new template.  
I can emphasize more on the phone if desired.  
I honestly think the report would look better if I could make these changes.  
All the materials are crammed together at one block or section.

Having each section note the materials an then comments would look spanky IMO. (I.E. roof-gutters-soffit-etc)

My cut?  
That opens you up to questions of bribery to be the only report seller vendor allowed to have a forum section.  
What’s the cut?  
What or who is unethical here.  
Your forum is stupidly placed for all association members rather than just your customers.  
I made no negative comments till attacked and was focused on lack of interest in your publicity driven contest which was a fail till I kept your little thread going.  
You should pay me for my help buddy.

Judging by response to the contest there are a total of 6 HG users.

Who’s trolling the HG thread? I’m just saying Bob, and now you, look small (gnat) and unprofessional. Maybe you feel threatened (I don’t know) That’s all.

Scroll back and see who started the insults.  
It was your leadership of failed iPhone software. I was being helpful till the troll comments started.  
Apparently Russ is getting paranoid about his decision to force all users to a public forum.  
You know what they say.  
If you can’t stand the heat…

So far ISN has treated EVERYONE with the utmost of respect, whether deserved or not.
