Okay, I'll get started on the initial post. Will be later tonight, but something should be there come the wee hours of the morning. And as usual, it will be a starting point, available to be ripped to shreds by your swords, staves, and spears so that it can be reassembled more effectively.

And on the topic of indexing, seems to me I saw somewhere that indexes were best at around five to seven items per level. Fewer than that, and they become pointless. More than that, and they become harder to follow. I think the light index is a good one, and we should keep with it.

I also think that the items the_young_one mentioned are good topics for the first few posts (once sticky posts come back). As long as they stay close together, all bases will be covered and life will be good in the Gael Serran.

And DeathDragon, there are issues between operating systems, particularly Win 2000 and XP. Virtualdub is one of the tools you use so things will work properly in those OSes -- without it, movies crash and life isn't good.

I also play on Win98 (but first edition, patched), so I haven't directly experienced those things.

As a side note to the_young_one, please don't think that I'm discounting any of your suggestions. In fact, I'm considering them quite a bit. The layout we're working with right now will support what you've suggested with a few minor tweaks (and the addition of the best tips thread, coming later).
