I'd like to remind you that four separate people answered your thread
and suggested solutions. Just because nobody was actually able to
_solve_ your problem doesn't mean that no one is "...willing to spend
2 or 3 minutes..." to help or that you're being "ignored". I think
that's actually a pretty dishonest characterization of the response to
your question.

I'd also like to point out that Typo3 is complex enough that without
having access to the BE of a site in question, it's sometimes
_extremely_ dfficult to pin down where a the source of a problem
actually lies. I've never had _any_ problem like the one you
encountered with the GIFBUILDER object and maybe neither had anyone
else who read your message; does this indicate some kind of systemic
problem with the community?
