"nu" probably shouldn't link to North Undeep. Not an abbreviation I ever see anyone using, and it kind of messes up "Khazâd ai-mênu".

Got it.

Incidentally, the reason Khazad Ai-menu wasn't linking is because of the accents. Maybe someday I could change the code to support accents, but it's somewhat difficult. The original downloadable program dealt with them by eliminating them, but I wouldn't want to do that across the board.

Probably much more trouble than it's worth, but it would be tremendously helpful to me as a DCer if I could also search the lore on cards. It's about the only thing that CAN'T be searched right now.

Very true. Though I suspect DI and I would be the only ones that actually care about that, or would in fact use such a feature!

I'd find a use for it.

Here's where we are there:

1) I need to write a "real" search engine.
2) I need help to type in the lore!

Both would take a lot of time.

I'll definitely help you with typing in lores - I've already done quite a few from Fellowship block when making my virtual cards.

I will too if you can just give me a week or so. My classes will finally be done then, and I should have a lot more time on my hands...at least until I'm a father in a few months.

Radagast seems to do weird things.

Radagast, The Brown

Should be fixed now, Thran, thanks!
There are a few such buggy cards because of some old mistakes I made and I need to write a program sometime to go through and fix it for me. One of these days...

Haha, I need to watch out when I say "the Easterling Captain." But NOLINK on the "the" sets it right and proper.

Kralik · « **Reply #41 on:** June 19, 2008, 10:02:34 AM »

Thanks ES. Better now?

The Easterling
The Easterling Captain

I also ran an optimization of sorts which should fix some other buggy links that were waiting to happen.

Elessar's Socks · « **Reply #42 on:** June 19, 2008, 11:36:40 AM »

*LOL* That wasn't even intended as a suggestion to fix. Kralik's just wandering up and down making things better!

Fangorn Glade says add D instead of add

Should autolink be disabled for the address within URL tags?

For example the address

http://cgi.ebay.com/LOTR-Treachery-Deceit-MW-FOIL-Beorning-Axe-18O1-...

needs a ! before both Treachery and Deceit to fix it properly:

http://cgi.ebay.com/LOTR-Treachery-Deceit-MW-FOIL-Beorning-Axe-18O1-...

Can't think of a situation where we'd actually want it to autolink.
