Shin, go easy on him, please :P If you ever get his tools working (isn't too hard), then you might forgive him a bit for the look of the webpage lol. They really are awesome. Also, I got GeorgeS' tools running perfectly on my Windows 7 box. I think just installing the current version of MySQL, and then running the register_ocx.bat files as admin worked just fine. I am not sure why, but the Quest Editor tool causes all windows to blink every few seconds, but it isn't anything major. Also, on Windows 7, I found that you need to set "Disable visual themes" in the compatibility mode of the shortcut for KLS's TaskMaster tool (which is unrelated to GeorgeS stuff, but figured I would mention while on the topic of Windows 7 and EQEmu Tools).

GeorgeS, maybe some CSS can help make your page look cleaner and formatted so it all goes together a bit better. I think the main thing is just setting up margins, one standard set of fonts, then centering a couple of things like the images throughout and maybe even put a border with a solid background around the text areas. I am certainly no CSS master, but it is easy enough for me to write something up quick that can be tweaked later if needed. I can just use the Firefox Webtool to edit the page in real-time so I can see what the results would look like. Then, just save the file I make and send it to you or something. Though, it would probably take a bit of HTML adjustments too, but nothing too major since it is a fairly simple setup already.

Actually, it probably wouldn't hurt if we had a generic CSS for the website for random pages like that so we could use them to expand even further and still keep the over-all theme of the site. Really, if we ever get MediaWiki running, it could probably handle all of the non-forums pages I think. The wakka wiki isn't horrible, but it isn't great either.

Ultimately, the tools are extremely useful, which is the most important thing. I don't know what I would do without the NPC Loot Editor or the Item Editor

BTW, it is great to see these files hosted here now. Definitely all good stuff to have available indefinitely.
