Hello Pella. Thank you to considering all my feed-back thoughts, looking for other opinions and for you reply and practical demonstration pages T1 & T2 . I managed to read all of your original posts. I'm sorry to see some parts of your reply & demos deleted :( ... I understand you must feel tired and maybe upset (?) to spend so much time at 1 template (however very important template as it will help as a footprint for other pages).

I am not sure if I am even elegible to comment this post anymore? I have 1 important thing to say which I discovered just yesterday. It's serious troubling issue with that damned horizontal lines. When you start sorting they will break out confusingly separating 1 same theme & merging 2 different themes. Try it yourself -> sort basic themes by name (ASC) -> first Berlin is ok, but everything else downstairs is broken... So I would guess this surely qualifys as 'serious complaint'.

How to counter this issue? Both your T1 & T2 demos doesn't have this problem. As people don't like keeping horizontal lines, it seems that your demo T1 variant is out of question. So, then it remains your demo T2 as best solution. This variant (T2) would also solves another issue -> when you start sorting, table suddenly changes into something different as it was (from 1 entry per theme to 2 entries per theme layout). Furthermore, there is no way to restore original appearance of the table (once you begin with sorting). So this T2 variant would also help to keep consistent table appearance & behaviour all the time.

I'm not sure whether you are interested to here my answer to your reply - well, just for the record, I will take shortly to each of 5 points of original feed-back:

• 1. Categorization:

a) Ok, thanks.

b) Black Hills - Ok (it still seems very ilogical to me, but if this is the system in-game, then I agree we should keept it).

c) Ok, thanks.

• 2. Table structure & 4. Used font:

I see, both of these belong together. Well done, looks much better now! Thanks.

• 3. Text alignment: Ok, well let's stick on right-alignment on numeric values (and left for notes) as consistent rule. I don't see any problem with this (especially as this exactly matches MS Excel convention how to align values as default = numeric values right aligned, text values left aligned). However, my point was something else. The point is -> there are completely different alignements throught 1 particular table column (specifically I mean these 3 columns = cost, discounted cost, buy XP). Inconsistency is originited in text values like "free" or "none" or "N/A" aligned left -> so some entries are aligned differently compared to the rest of values in same column. This looks very weird to me -> it would be good idea to have consistant alignment for 1 particular column. • 5. Horizontal lines:

I already replied on start of this post. And once more: thank you for demos, both T1 & T2 look handsome :).
