doesn't seem to work pm, if I create a new poly cube select a face then extrude it all that happens is the face stays selected and I get extra points above/below/left & right, if I hit the T key ( with the face still selected) nothing happens...

I've included a pic of what happens after extruding a face ( all settings in both extrude face & create poly cube are at default )

Cheers for the help, sorry to be a pain

I can't even remember what It should look like when you click extrude face? so this pic may look fine, just without the manipulator handles.
