In Legends & Lore , it specifically lists all greater gods as being truly omniscient, and intermediate and lesser gods with something short of omniscience, but definitely far beyond any comprehension of mortals. There are all sorts of problems with this, specifically the idea that you can have ...

If you aren't running Windows software, you could also look to linux. You loose access to a lot of commercial software, but the more mainstream stuff has free alternatives for Linux, but more speciallised apps may not be replacable (CC etc...)

I think the importance of the gods depends on the setting... Take Raymond E. Feists Magician: the gods are bit names in the fluff, but it is still a recognisable, and playable, campaign setting. David Eddings has created worlds where the Gods play an important role, but they are still usable setting...

It would make sense that it'd be pretty rare though, otherwise we'd have another Forgotten Realms on our hands! :wink: :lol: Not really, afterall, if characters start ascending around 20th level, you avoid the hell that is the number of ultra-high-level characters called the Forgetable realms... Ne...

Yeah, I know, my ISP is playing silly wotsits with the connection. Partly, I suspect, because they weren't actually being payed...

I'll email you the new site code, + the jpg picture.

LeSong, does http://robbieab.com/bip/bip.html have the page centered in the window in IE7?

It works in Firefox, but I don't have any non-gecko browsers handy to test...

IE7 needs to be checked. It is possible that there will be issues, as the trick I'm using is documented as not working in IE7 (though there is a work around based on exploiting a different broken feature of IE7). I just can't test easily due to lack of an IE7 box.

I have a version of the page where it is centered (at least it is in Firefox which is the only browser I have handy). I have also converted the .bmp to .jpg. What should I do with it?

Well, I'm supposed to be learning HTML + associate stuff. If it won't cause offence, I can have a look at this as a mini-project...

Could the whole page be centered as well? It looks kinda miserable hugging the side of the window the way it does...

It's only minor up-and-down scrolling to see the entire page, but I agree. Doing it smaller would look too small, even on 800x600 fields. I think. As long as there's no horizontal scrolling, I don't mind. That last is the most important. Horizontal scrolling is evil in web-pages... Which is why man...

I'm with Mira on this one...

Making it work without scrolling on a 800x600 display is going to make it look VERY small on anyone with a halfway recent computer.

Ok, as a note, all the fonts are defined in pixel size, not pt. size... This means how they appear is dependent on the resolution and dpi of the display. It has advantages if pixelised images are in use as it ensures that images and text always line up, but it creates problems on high dpi displays. ...

I can work out how to if we need them. I'm sure it will only take me about half an hour...

That's fine Hal.

Hal, you could mail me the stylesheet, but it will be a pain to work with because I can't easily test changes. If you are able to change the stylesheet, than whatever level of access you have would be sufficient, if you are prepared to risk giving that to me.

Ouch, that is incredibly rare, and extremely painful... Hal, basically, I need what ever access you have to edit the files. I'm not sure how the server is set up, (I have a few ideas but nothing concrete) but I do know how everything works. To change stuff, you just need to edit the stylesheet. Most...

Hal, a shell is command line access to the server...

I need the ability to edit the files if I am going to make any changes. On Linux boxes, this is commonly provided by giving a shell.

P.S. If they have had a RAID crash and burn on them, they may be down a while, that is serious...

You can change it to any value you like. Each pair of characters represents a hex colour value, red, then green, then blue.

Alternatively, give me a shell on the server, and I will get the change made for you...

Found it. In templates/Chronicles/Chronicles.css : .maintitle,h1,h2 { font-weight: bold; font-size: 22px; font-family: "Book Antiqua", "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, Times, serif; text-decoration: none; line-height : 120%; color &a...

It is somewhere in the css, where exactly I don't know, I would need to poke around with the files to find out...
