Re: Where in the RPG am I? An RFE idea

What Brian and Charles have mentioned is what I thought the RFE I voted on was for.    It was in the comments of the RFE that it talked about having the outline reposition.  How is that different and requiring its own RFE?

I like both Charles and Brian's ideas.
