Reply-To: dq@dq.sf.org.nz The DQ Character Web Site has been updated, for those of you staunchly supporting Netscape, you'll now be able to read the lists of characters. Let me know if anyone is having the problem with size and having to scale up their browser to read the text - I wasn't able to replicate this. A few other small enhancements and patches too. Many of you will have run into problems with the data you entered being cut off after the first 200 characters, and login ids and passwords being cut off at 10 characters. All of these should be resolved at some stage this week when the database changes are applied. Also, not long after these database changes there'll be some new features coming: - Character References: attach an in character comment to other characters about how wonderful they were to adveture with. With this information you'll be able to check the references of the bunch of cut-throats you're adventuring with. - Awards: See who is officially the bravest adventurer in the guild (or at least the one with the best PR). - Adventure Summaries: Record a precis for your adventure, linking in what characters were on it, where you went, and who you met. This information will be searchable by Location, NPC, Session, and it'll be linked into the display of character information. - Items: A library of standard items that you can re-use (things like Investeds, Potions, Standard Weapons, Amulets, etc) and items that GMs have previously given out that GMs can use as a guideline for writing-up and valuing their Items. - Maps showing locations of previous adventures - this one will probably be a while coming but when it arrives it'll be pretty cool. You'll be able to look up maps of Alusia and see marks on the map indicating where adventures within the past couple of years have taken place. You'll then be able to click on the marks, read a precis of the adventure and see who the GM was. If you have any other ideas for features/enhancements let me know, or even better do the work and we'll add it into the site. Cheers, Stephen. -- to unsubscribe see http://www.kurahaupo.gen.nz/mailing-lists.html -- From owner-dq@dq.sf.org.nz Tue May 16 13:41:30 2000 Received: (from bin@localhost) by mail.sf.org.nz (8.8.6/NZSFI-19980830) id NAA22734; Tue, 16 May 2000 13:34:20 +1200 Received: from bo.nznet.gen.nz (ns1.nznet.gen.nz [203.167.232.34]) by mail.sf.org.nz (8.8.6/NZSFI-19980830) with ESMTP id NAA22729 for ; Tue, 16 May 2000 13:34:14 +1200 Received: from takitimu.co.nz (ms2-01.nznet.gen.nz [203.167.232.131]) by bo.nznet.gen.nz (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id NAA03978 for ; Tue, 16 May 2000 13:30:27 +1200 Received: from takitimu.co.nz by takitimu.co.nz; Tue, 16 May 00 13:23:16 +1200 Message-ID: <3920A3C2.D5D3ABA9@takitimu.co.nz> Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 13:30:33 +1200 X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5 (Macintosh; I; PPC) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Re: Character Site Updated & More to Come From: Kelsie To: dq@dq.sf.org.nz Sender: owner-dq@dq.sf.org.nz Errors-To: owner-dq@dq.sf.org.nz Precedence: bulk X-Loop: dq@dq.sf.org.nz X-Requests: To unsubscribe from this list, or change your subscription address, send a request to dq-request@dq.sf.org.nz.

Problem is the first column of the table being as wide as the second. Just remove the cols=2 from the table tag and it works fine.
