...is now up and running.

I'm also trying to clear out some of the bugs in the site, but I've only managed four files so far, me and my pathetic skills. But, at least you no longer get an error message when opening the Sperethiel Dictionary (thanks DV8, I'm working on the rest).

A word of warning: for some damn reason the link on the Dracoform page to take you back to the Ancient Files front page is leading you to a pop-up porn ad. I really don't know why, but I'll fix it soon. Hopefully.

Yay. I've succeeded in reducing a half-dozen or more errors per page, and now I have the same error on every page. Fuck.

Help, someone, please.

I might be able to help, AH. Are you using a relative or an absolute URL in the link? If relative, then that's weird. If absolute, then I think I know why it's leading to a pop-up ad.

For the most part, I've lost my internet access (posting from a friend's place), but I can give sporadic advice.

My advice is purely layout-oriented: increase your margins to 90% or so. Wait, that doesn't make sense as I stated it; decrease your table width - or page width - to 90%. The text is just too close to the edge of the screen, and with that much text with that little to break it up, it looks crowded as all get out, which makes it hard for people to read the whole thing.

In addition, I'd strongly recommend making all the pages look the same in regards to fonts, layout, color, and so on. Yeah, I know you want every section to look different, but it's generally a wise idea to have all the sections (or at least subsections) match.

Looks good, Ancient. I've been using your site as a source of info for planning my own games. Now, if I could only find a group to run said games for. *sigh*
