Who is active? Who is on an adventure and who is looking to join?

Wow. It snowballed pretty quick. Great job!

Is there anyway to show how long someone has been at the tavern waiting for an adventure? We also probably need a condition for when the player is active but the adventure isn't. Finally, I am wikiclueless but is there any way to automatically sort entry as they are added? Sorted alphebatically by name or by location, for example?

I linked to the post where Growl entered the tavern, so one could view how long he's been looking for an adventure that way. We could suggest people do that, maybe.

We could make it standard that people post the real world calendar date their character entered the tavern in the text of the tavern link.

If everyone uses the same format, say, MM/DD/YY, then sorting by "location" would pop the 'oldest' tavern-dwellers either to the top or bottom of the list of tavern-dwellers, depending whether you're sorting ascending or descending.

Make sense? I did it with Raiyek, as well as the other characters whose tavern links were their entrance post, so people can see what I'm talking about. Easy enough to undo if people don't like it.

There probably is, but I haven't found it in the coding instructions yet.

This is pretty neat.

Regarding automatic sorting of the table...
I perused the wiki instructions. It said specifically that it is not possible to do so.

On another note, I'm trying to figure out how to create a table for a character's items that automatically totals gp values and weight. Runnin' into dead ends at the moment, so if anyone can throw me a bone, I'd appreciate it.
