Might try the mouse on another computer to see if it gets the same symptoms. If it is intermittant, it may not show up for a while though. That'd help to isolate the problem to either the system or the mouse.

This has the same functionality as the mouse-wheel trick, above.

Distinct people visiting site? Yes. Can I distinguish them from registered members? No. The tracking that is performed by the tools that came with the site - 'Webalyzer' for anyone that cares - tracks IP addresses and keeps track of things on the http level rather than on the php/SQL level. This mea...

As a temp fix, I know with a lot of browsers (especially Firefox and IE7) you can hold either alt o r control and scroll the mouse wheel to make text larger or smaller. I'll see what I can find about adjusting font sizes. I know you can alter them in the text of a post you're making, but I'm less s...

Site Stat Reporting

Bandwidth Just for those who are wondering. Last month we used 279.2 MB of bandwidth out of an available 15360000. For those who are less fluent in the language of math than I am, this is 0.00181770833333(repeating)% of our allotment. In other words, we're using less than 1% of 1% of our available ...

Out of curiosity I've turned on stat collection for web access to the site. I'm curious to see how often it is getting hit and to see roughly how much people are accessing it. Judging from the bandwidth usage, which is already being collected, we're using only a tiny fraction of what is available, s...

As I mentioned in another thread, a rising star ship's officer is one appealing option. Another may be some sort of super, I'd need to check out what they get. Still another may be an actual legit ambassador. I'd have to think on that, though, since I hate people.

My view on this is that the endless tower is, literally, a game without end. We might 'win' by getting to and beating level 1, but that doesn't mean that it is over.

I'm voting for a hiatus. For one, we've got a lot of other games on the table that, even if we don't play them on Saturdays, we can talk and plan for them. I've always been 50/50 on Dungeon crawls as it is. I'm surprised I lasted this long. I'd be a blast to go back to after a while and be like 'Oh ...

So, as far as character goes, I'm sort of looking at the up-and-comming first mate who's cocky about his abilities and actually has the skill to back most of that up. He'll be brash, but not hot-headed and deeply enjoy his job. He'd probably be a bit on the young side for his rank, which would contr...

We've got like 25GB or something equally largeish. It should be fine. It'll even have space for images provided that no one flips out and uploads the whole intarweb.

Here's a thought, though it would probably take some time for me to impliment completely: What about a wiki or something for keeping documentation, character sheets, locational descriptions, house rules, and other miscellenia? The MediaWiki software is publicly available, so I should be able to get ...
