I forgot to mention that I have no ImageMagick installed on my local dev 
(MAMP 2.1). This might very well the reason for that as it already has 
been the source of many troubles in the past. (It is not to important to 
me at all, but I thought I mention it...)

...which is good for many things (like documentation, as Kay mentiones 
at another place), not the least it could have become a place of error 
messages...

However, with the confirmation page removed, I then need to ask: why is 
there a BLANK page showing instead?? That doesn't make sense at all! 
Wouldn't it be better to just reload the whole new form then?

I yould not find any documentation on the removal of that functionality. 
Do you happen to have a webl link at hand or is there just nothing 
metioned anywhere?

Thanks!
