Ah, just as I was checking to see if The Normans, a European People had already been posted here, it was. Might I suggest it be moved into its own proper category -- Normandy, of course? The Normans had a substantial impact on Western Europe in their heyday, especially militarily, but their cultrual signifigance was also great.
The Wizard, you are absolutely right. I will look into this and move entries accordingly.Quote:

Hello,
The topic is working again. We should move the content over to https://forums.totalwar.org/?q=node/118. That script seems faster in handling lists like this.
It's using about the same bb code, so it's mostly a matter of copy and paste. There are a few exceptions like fontsize, when you use 1, make it 10 or so. Smileys need the full url in img tags.
I'll clean it up a bit and then hand it over to Adrian II.
thanks Tosa!!!
Thank you, brother TosaInu, for your help and your kind clarifications by PM. I trust that this will become a working thread again. :2thumbsup:

I'll comb through the links and ad, scrap or restore asap.
I'm not sure if this has been posted before but it's a neat little site. Doesn't have as many battles as I've wished but it is a cool site to look at:

This site has a HUGE list of websites covering military history. Tho quite a few of the websites do not work there is a more to choose from. WWI and WWII are mainly covered but there is a wide variety in here for just about everyone.

My responsibility for this sticky was taken over by brother Geoffrey S in July last year. I was very glad to have found such a worthy and enthusiastic sucessor.
Geoffrey S was supposed to be given some key or code that allowed him to access the sticky. Somehow I don't think this happened. I suppose it should still be done if Geoffrey still feels like it - better late than never.
Western Front Association
Has a number of articles about lesser known aspects of the war, such as Arthur Solly-Flood and his role in producing training programmes for the British Army. Brief articles, but interesting introductions that catch one's interest.
For your informaton, brothers and sisters, this isn't my sticky anymore. Hasn't been since June of 2008 when I handed over the keys to someone else, or rather tried to hand them over. I don't know what went wrong. If someone thinks he or she wants to take over and clean it up, I suppose they should contact TosaInu.
