   Going to dump the email login. Too long. Login in will turn into user name and password.
   
   No more email address' anywhere on the page. All email will be sent through forms. I hate Spam and will do everything I can to avoid it. Users will be able to say if they want to recieved mail or not, if they want to allow anonymous email or only from members.
   
   Shopping basket type thing, so that you can save the plots, items, characters you like and then print preview only the ones you picked.
   
   Print screen that will have the main submission and also have all the comments.
   
   Thinking of having all the submissions have a quick intro and have the option in member preferences and on each page to view only the intro or the entire submission. With only intros there could be more on each page and maybe quicker find something they are looking for vs. seeing the whole thing and going through pages and having to read them all. More like how the long plots are now. A small description and a link to the full one and they always have the option to switch back to viewing entire submission.

   I still keep dreaming about my own homepage, I somehow dont find the time needed :( . An idea i had was to to give the reader on the first page a choice between
   Full version(all images,banners etc)
   maybe Midi (images sparely etc)
   Mini (no images,little styling ...) for quicker downloading
   Adding something like
   White on Black-good for reading
   Black on White-good for printing
   Funny, not?
   
   But this Shopping basket type thing is definitely a great idea :!:
   It really only needs a cool name. Hmmm...
   ? Download basket ? Grabbing basket ? Trophy/Loot/Booty basket/bag/pocket ? ???
   I dont know... maybe Booty Bag :wink: or Bag of Holding may sound familiar

   At Irony Games , home to many generators theres also the Net.Generic.Adventure.Maker - made to create the most generic adventures ever:
   ... starts in a tavern or inn in some convienent village. Usually, the main NPC will gather the characters together to send them on a quest to retrieve the important thing.
   The heroes then trek across the countryside long enough to run into a few wandering monsters or perhaps some bad weather.
   ... the necessary clues are found, the inevitable cave entrance leads the heroes down into darkness to find the dungeon where there are some more monsters and perhaps a treasure to be found.
   
   Practical but boring? Yes!
   
   Now at Strolens Citadel you can find
   - a cool plot
   - NPC(s) to help or hinder your heroes
   - items in the treasure, as reward, or maybe used against them
   (no pun intended)

   I hear you about not enough time. I am slowly moving but it doesn't look like I will make any serious progress till I get back to Japan in the beginning of August. Will be just pecking at it till then.
   
   Excellent idea about the different graphic weights... :!: ..will have to give it some serious thought. That might be an 'after the site is finished' modification, but will try and think about how to do it easily and make the code more portable.
   
   Booty Balg :lol: That one is my favorite although I don't know about actually using it hehehe.

   I love that site. It is chock full of cool gadgets and stuff! True the stuff is bland but there are some good seeds of ideas there. And there lies the problem, the need for creative and well thought out 'anythings.' The code is actually the easy part. I could easily whip together a random generator but without content it would suck. I will eventually make a few quick clicks that will randomize an adventure, gather some NPCs, and throw in some items. Simple to do, hard part is to get the quality of ideas....but I think we are slowly taking care of that, aren't we :P
   
   Good advertising bit too :) I was looking for an advertising director...

   Got manfred's suggestion on slimming down the site taken care of. When you log into www.iogre.com the user pref box comes up. You can go between default and no pics. The Elder Strolen doesn't work yet though. Will do that waaaay later after everything is working.
   
   Not sure if I will be able to do it for the forum though. Will look at that in the future too. Much to do right now to get it running.
