Rastislav,

Thanks for your explanation. I knew you were working on the data on the Extensions page. Perhaps I underestimated the amount of time you were investing in that project, which is really silly considering I've invested just as much on the coding side. LOL ... In one case, I waited for approximately two days before I got any significant input on what I had submitted, so by the time I had dealt with everything that people had mentioned, I was ready to go live. Yes, it was an interesting coincidence that your major design feedback came just after we published. Oh, well. :-)

Thanks for the info about your work on the extensions data. I'm at level 144 today. I also have 3 alt accounts at much lower levels, and I use them to verify data for things I already bought. As you suspected, all of the errors I found were on data points below level 200. A few of the errors were in the TSED. Based on your comments about TSED's accuracy, it seems clear that the errors I found are at levels too low for the "TSED People" to verify. For the record, Pixel made significant changes below level 200, also. The good news is that I now know exactly which data to trust and which data I need to confirm. Before, I couldn't tell for sure what was good or not, and that probably was the most frustrating part of this whole thing. Thank you VERY much for that update!! :P

I know our current Extensions page still has some outdated data below level 200. I haven't checked TSED lately, so I don't know about its status. I'll see if I can take some time this week to go through the list and submit changes to them, if necessary. Remember, though, that the major rebalancing happened in only four tables:  Train Slots, Int'l Slots, Depot Slots, and Storage. Yes, those are the biggest types we have, but at least it's not all 10. :-)

And now, the list... ;-)

1. We generate our dual cost entries using "rowspan". I disagree that we should close this topic. I agree that we should leave it alone for now, because if I can get filtering to work right, then it will solve the sorting issue. Users can filter out one type of data, leaving only single rows, and suddenly, sorting works! .....or not, but let's talk more about that after filtering happens.

2. You like it, huh? It makes me cringe every time I see it. My inexperienced Wiki tester said he prefers it the same way you do, so I changed it. Click here and look at slots 6, 10, 13, 19, and 22. That crap sends my brain into a tizzy. Consider that a HUGE favour you owe me! LOL

5. Go look at the main Themes page now, especially the last section. I increased the line spacing so the superscript (footnote reference) and the image wouldn't crash into each other. I hope everyone are able to see the references now.

6. Your response makes it sound like we disagree. We don't. I already said that I'll look for a compromise that is in colour, attracts attention, doesn't hurt the eyes, and is Web safe. It didn't happen tonight because I was working on the other stuff you mentioned, but that's good because that stuff improved the appearances of both pages. I'll investigate new colours tonight (Wednesday).

Good night, my friend. :-)
