Glad you liked it. ;)

Too bad I used my 400th post in Tech Support where few people will see it.

Office Assistant actually. :P

That rather annoying feature is one of the many reasons I prefer OpenOffice for most of my computing needs.

Huh. I could have sworn that you had said something about written content before. Oh well, I guess they are the same. Well, anyone who likes the domain shadowvale.net better than ermarian.net is welcome to contact me, and I'll set something up for you.

Edit: They recently changed the language restrictions on sphosting, by the way. They now allow sites in anyt language. (Not that it matters to me since the only language I'm fluent in is English :P )

No, Dikiyoba reached that number in the post where arghhhhhhhhh got banned and it was quite appropriate there. Sadly, that was only about eight or nine days ago.
You've had over 100 hundred posts in a little over a week? That's quite frightening.

I remember finding that thread back in November. The link didn't work then either. I sent an email to the poster, and he responded rather quickly with another link. I don't have that email anymore, and I doubt I have the trainer either, but you can try the same thing.

Sylak's Talking Skull was more helpful though. I don't know if I ever needed the Xian Skull's advice, but Sylak's skull told me where to find some of the Nether Arts spells.

Edit: It's a pity. When I saw this thread, I was half-expecting the legendary Xian Skull thread of yore to have been resurrected.

I've been playing A4 on my notebook with a 1280x800 screen lately, so I turned of the resolution changes preferring a black border to distorted graphics. The problem, however, is that when I start Avernum 4, I get this message:

IMAGE(http://www.shadowvale.net/a4graphics.jpg)

If I change to 16-bit, the game starts fine, [i]BUT[/i] if I change back to 32-bit while thegame is open it runs just fine. So, I'm curious why Avernum 4 requires 16-bit graphics.

Before I forget: I've been offering to host several members who were looking for an ad-free webspace for their Spiderweb sites (only Thralni has taken me up on that so far though). If you do set up that web resource and need a host (would be a subdomain of ermarian.net), just ask. :)
That's not quite true, Aran. I used your site for a while to host the chat database, but decided to create my own domain for several reasons, one of them being the uncensored nature of the chats. :P

Edit: That said, if anyone would like a site that is a subdomain of shadowvale.net rather than ermarian.net (perhaps I should be advertising this on the Nethergate board), send me a PM, and I'll set it up for you. The only real advantage I can see for my host over Aran's is that my host does not have content restrictions, although that probably doesn't matter for Spiderweb-related materials. I've probably got the only site that needs a host without content restrictions, with the profanity and worse things that happen in the chats. :P

I don't begrudge the Irish their day of celebration, but I wonder why, here in the US, we celebrate St. Patrick's day and honor the Irish but ignore the patron saints of other countries. As a Scottish-American, I truly am curious why St. Andrew's day (November 30, for those of you who don't know, which is probably most of you) is not a holiday for Americans and St. Patrick's day is.
