What is still wrong with the main page? I streched out the template boxes to sizes that would eliminate the white space. What is wrong with it that is fixable (and not part of the new wikia format)?

Glad you like Thief so far. I can't answer for 1 as I probably only had a single core when I last played it. This might be interesting as I am now using a dual core.

I think I know the room with a lot of paintings. It never caused my computer to crash though. Course, it could be compatibility problems that didn't exist back then. Sorry I am not a great help, but as you said it has been 8 years.

I miss Thief but it is almost necessary that I focus on other things and broaden my horizons. If I played Thief I would have trouble giving it up like I would for any other game. Therefore it is rather hard to go back to it. The only reason I stopped before was because my old computer getting a virus (it wasn't really mine, I was sharing one with my parents at the time). Nobody knew who it was that was using it when the virus popped up, so we ended up with me going to a laptop and my parents restoring their computer and making it the way they wanted (I wanted to tinker yet couldn't on a system that would affect other people anyway).

It was difficult at the time to install Thief so I wasn't quick to reinstall it. I remember having to run it manually from the console, killing and restarting processes at certain points, and having to run certain executables to refresh the videos before I could even play the game. I couldn't even play the Training mission without it crashing at the time and had to do numerous things that I have since forgotten. That was another reason I had Thief kept on that computer, it was difficult to reinstall. It probably is nothing now that I am a bit more experienced and have my own desktop computer (especially since the final step could be fixed with GarretLoader), but at the time my knowledge was quite limited and doing such a process was not ideal.

Nowadays that isn't the reason I don't return. I eventually plan on doing it. I just want to have Quakewiki on its feet and have played a lot more games, as I am not sure I will be leaving Thief anytime soon.
