Consolidating multiple chapters in one listing should be a SMOP -- a Small Matter of Programmig.  In good circumstances, the term is descriptive, in bad ones it is sardonic.  (Somehow the bad ones seem to outnumber the good ones--not that that should be an excuse.)  Remember though that every one of us has problems, that some things -really- need to be fixed (like throwing away italics when copy-pasting a story in), and even SMOPs have questions that can affect the algorithms to be written.

That said, this is one of those little things that should have been flagged in a design review--or a requirements review.  Somehow they never are, though, and the people who do catch them are just the sort of gadflies who get fired because they aren't team players.  (Probably none of that applies to the TNBW team, which I'm guessing is a bit smaller--which makes good reviews hard.)  If you have a couple hundred hours to kill, read the Shark Tank archives on Computerworld.com.  I don't know if computer work actually gathers more vexing mistakes, but it sure makes them more memorable.

The changes are, so far, on paper.  Some answer your review, some are literary fillips.

The first scene would go before Merran waking up.  The second scene with her mother would go right after the lurymant is spotted.  The third scene would go right after Caneth and Barris are taken.  The story with Erevain would have to stand on its own, unless I found a small scene to cut in.

In a sense, Alda is passive.  The most interesting reactions are between her natural self and the Alda that is being guided by Behira.

I'm not sure that active and passive are the right terms.  Intiator and reacter seem better.

Jaylene has to adjust to the changes that have occurred in her exo-cronic state.  So far we've seen her with just two issues: Tazar and Slash.  In the catacombs chapter, things are rather different, although Alda is still the outrageous one.  But that's as is should be.  She's the candle lit up along along its length.

Sil and Alda, a contrast of sorts.  Sil willing in the particulars, Alda willing in the abstract, Sil an agent, Alda a horse ridden by Behira.
As always, GKC provides a quote:

About which central figures does this tale turn, and how?

I thought Tazar was -trying- to get himself imprisoned.  Slash can be a dirty fighter, but -this- time Tazar has to hit before the bell rings.  We just need to feel that if anyone deserved it, Slash did.

Ever see the movie Blood Sport?  There's a fighter who kills when he doesn't have to and blinds the good guy in the ring.   He loses anyway.  -That's- how we have to think of Slash.

Chapter received, review complete.  I did it inline because, although it will make it harder to read, for this sort of thing the ability to go to the marked text is ideal.  (Hint, hint ...)

If it didn't go through for some reason, please let me know.  It's interesting that the -first- centering operation worked, but not subsequent centerings.

I haven't been hit by this part of this problem, but I suspect that the difficulty runs deep in the site's model of a review.  If so it may be hard to fix.  For what little it's worth, were I starting with this as a project, I would not likely realize that reviews would be composed like this.

On the other hand, if fixing it requires going back and making deep changes in the data model of a review, I'd encourage Sol and his team to look into some of the other issues that have been raised, to be sure that the new model can accomodate the other fixes/enhancements.

What about a frame surrounding the logo that makes it clear--or less surprising---that it -is- a button?

Whereas when I copy from OpenOffice I lose italics and often get two tildes on an initial line.  Browser is IE.  I'll send you the file I most recently put up here.

Melayne is speaking very carefully, not telling the whole truth.  But you're probably right.

My home page (mobile) is almost two weeks behind the points page, a 23-point discrepency.

Maybe change the button somehow, or move the indicator into the column with the button.

I accidentally hit 'reort' instrad of 'quote' again.  My request to put 'report' and 'delete' on the other corner from 'quote' and 'edit' is not withdrawn.

Where is it?  Am I finding a different page?  Are there two pages alike except that one has the reply/no-reply indicators and the other doesn't?  Am I in a twisty maze of little web pages and one of them is not like the other?
