Which Theme and which Browser are you using, I dont have any problems (magmawiki theme and FFwin 3.6.3)

I did not encountered any problems with it so far, except that I have to remap after every restart of the game... But that could be a problem of the filelinks I have there. Does anyone know where DF saves the bindings?

When youre in the key binding screen, press s to save your changes.

Args... Please let this be so easy :-) I will try that tommorow, my DF-Machine is already shut-down, and I am a bit of overworked and that nasty clock rings in about 7 hours... So goodnight to all the Europeans, good-whatever-fits-your-local-time to all the others :-)

First I was annoyed of ESC, changed it to SPACE, I loved it until j-m-r-o-c-k-SPACE :-(

Then I was annoyed by ESC again and tried something totally different... Why should I use SPACE, ESC or something else weird key that is not on my small handy bluetooth numpad? So I remapped exit to NUM0 and exit-all to NUMDOT, I did not encountered any problems with it so far, except that I have to remap after every restart of the game... But that could be a problem of the filelinks I have there. Does anyone know where DF saves the bindings?

Dunno about the tileset in the tutorials, I personaly prefer "vanilla" tileset :-)

But the most known/discussed/mentioned/used tileset seems to be Mayday, it is linked with some advice from out the wiki mainpage how to install with v.31

I have the devlog in my feedreader, so I woke up thursday morning at 5:30 MEST (GMT +2) checking the feedreader, nothing :-( Then went into the forums, one of the first 10 Threads was something "v. anyhow released"!!!!!! Cool, look, search, hit F5 multiple times on downloadpage... It took me almost 10 Minutes to realize that the version mentioned in that thread was about 4 years old :-) Oh... The thread was too ;-)
After work I checked the feed again, that was about 14:00 MEST, there was the REAL news! Then came there the download Problem :-) I had put up a mirror by myself after getting it on my own site and released a blog-article with links to all the other known (to me) mirrors.

And you can be sure, I tried to advertise it to friends with my biggest efforts. But without positiv results, they are all not "freaky" enough and dont understand the way how losing could be fun :-(

This bed was only built from 2x bituminous coal and 1x iron, other materials were not used. Here it seems that all of the materials are used as they are, and no alchemistical transmutation has occured. So if there is a bug it is not always :-(
We have to find out how exactly it occurs, I want to exploit :-)

*edit*
Forgot to mention: http://nobbz.de/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Kirar-Thazor-a-bituminous-coal-bed.png
Additionally eventually usefull info: This was built during a "possesed" mood

OK, DT says I mustn't post any bugreports at this stage, but eventually someone can help me out with my problem... The first wave of migrants came to my fort but DT does not recognize them. DT lists only 7 of my 13 dwarfs. Does someone how to get them all?

Because it was not an Aprils Fool, I will consider this as a march release and will donate the whole bunch of 250 EUR (340 USD - PayPal-charge) as soon I get my new creditcard, the old one is expired yesterday and I dont got a new one in the last weeks :-(

I took the liberty of rounding everything up or down.  :P

Will we make $2000 before the new version releases?!

If I took it right there where 1930 USD on the table, I am listed with 71 USD, but if Toady releases in the next two hours I throw 229 Dollars more in at least, even if DF2010 comes next month there will be at least 79 USD more from me, so yes, until Toady releases in the next 30 Days we actually HAVE MADE the 2000 USD!

That's not really fair, NobbZ. At this point Toady is in bug-fixing and testing mode and there really isn't anything he can do to hurry up the release of the new version that doesn't involve shipping a buggy and potentially unplayable version. Which would be counterproductive for us, since we'd just have to deal with lots of mini bug-fix versions while he irons out the game-breaking bugs.

Even if Toady wants to have  the money, I think he is honorably enough to not ship a bugged version just on March 31st to get the 300 USD+.

And I think that 300 USD (or more) is really an huge amount, so this should be some kind of limited offer... Look around, go to your next game dealer and ask for a game that costs this much! In germany a game costs ~40 EUR (~60 USD) and that are "finished" games. It would never come to someones mind to pay 5 times the prize because "that game is awesome".

And because of this my offer is limited to the given dates, and I wont change it.

OK, I throw 50 EUR (about 71 USD) into the pot, additionaly, I will quadruple my monthly donation from 5 to 20 EUR (about 28 USD) for at least the next 12 Month. So thats  71+12*21=323 USD more from me compared to a "standard year".

But it is okay if you list me up with 71 USD ;-)

Now there's a new offer!
To really get Toady moving a little bit faster :-)

If Today releases the next version until 2010-03-31 23:59:59 UTC I will drop the amount of 250 EUR (339,44 USD) OR or 300 USD if the exchange rate drops below that line!

For an April release there will be still the amount of 125 EUR or 150 USD (same rules as above)

After that I will return to my original offer for the month of may.

So Today, do some work for your money :-D

My parents had bad experiences with german checks in the US during their honeymoon... But OK, thats 32 years since then :-) But thats the cause why I not mentioned checks of any kind, and because of the fact that I didn't see a check as payment method for over a decade here in germany, neither in a shop nor salary...

Living in Germany myself, I believe that creating a PayPal account is the way to go.

Living in germany too, and yes, I think so too about the PP-Acc, thats why it is number 1 in the list ;-)

1) Create a Paypal account :-) They do even without a CC good work ("Lastschrift")
2) Get a CC, it has some benefits, espacially when "living" in  the internet...
3) Ask someone you know that (s)he has one of the above, give him the money and let him/her the money and let him/her do the transaction (I have both, so when you can get to Hamburg, Hanover or Bremen easily we could arrange a meeting)
4) But very unsafe... Go to your bank, exchange the EUR into USD, put them in an envelope, write Tarns address on it and send it to him...
