How obvious - great! Although I cant check the price of my model and get to that
page until I download the new LDD open it in there save it and repost it to lego
factory! I guess I'll get around to that...
It seems that all the submitted models will eventually go out of date as new
versions of LDD come online and the seasonal production of parts are adjusted.
I guess this means that you may not be able to have a permanent link to your
creation if it's not 'current'... because a blocking page will say the model
needs to be upgraded to the new version of LDD before you can check the price
with the permanent URL to the model...

That would be interesting indeed... you could do a whole theme that communicates
with the moderation group - that would be fun...

I see... curious that the ecard has no links to how you can buy it or see more
details about the entry. I guess they don't want kinds racking up bills on the
parents credit card LOL
The only link is the mail seal (link to the same page?). It sends me to the men
at work page (again!)

| (...) I actually found it the complicated way, rather than the (in retrospect) blatantly obvious way of just looking at the utility and seeing the link. There are a few URL's buried in there, like the image of the creation, etc. But I found it by (...) (17 years ago, 13-Mar-08, to lugnet.dear-lego)
