Just a thought... about forums and links
...and not something I've been able to fine a way to add myself, but as this has become the hip, happening place to be for RTC, maybe placing similar links about downloading for downloading the game and George's site?
Also, while adding links, how about a few more for the other forums, the the codex, the chaos site, and so on somewhere?

Well gambit added the game download link for RTC, feel free to add others there fuzzface. I didn't give you access and power to make you look important. You have it so you can make the changes you feel need to be made to open up the community.
Perhaps a new subtopic called links down at the bottom with a sticky that says read before you post, and in that it should say this is for posting links for DM related projects.. or something like that? This way hopefully there aren't links to crap or conversations that go on forever, yet still allow others to add links.
or, Make a links page and then simply add a link to that on the main page of the forum? You'd likley need to ask Gambit how he did that to the front page.. or simply ask him to do it and you can make the links page since you have all of them already.

@Beowuuf: The forums use a combination of a PHP driven 'engine' and a whole bunch of TPL files which are HTML files but with special variables embedded to display the data. However, it's a bit more complicated than that because quite of bit of the HTML is also built dynamically by the PHP pages, so it's tricky to find where all the stuff is handled... For the links bar at the top, I've separated it out to another file, so if other people want to change it, it's a simple case of modifying one file.

OK, I have discovered what is causing the problems with the Who's Online panel. It's a version problem. I've been using the original files for phpBB 2.0.4 and modifying them, then uploading them here. However, these forums use an older version of phpBB (2.0.2) even though they are actually reporting the version as 2.0.0.
The version mismatch is causing the problems, so I need to upgrade the phpBB software. I'll be doing that over the next half hour, so if you experience any problems or anything weird, just keep trying until the problem goes away...

Gambit, can you update the "Quick Links" list to replace "Enyclopedia" by "Encyclopaedia" (missing 'c' and 'a')?
Thanks

ALL FIXED!!!
OK, everything is now fixed. I've upgraded the forum software to version 2.0.4, which has fixed the problem with the Who's Online panel.
I've also added a link to ian's forums and made those spelling corrections to the Quick Links.
Hopefully, this will be everything for a while, until I do it all again for ian's forums...
