Many thanks for that lovely (verbal/virtual) pat on the back.

Finally finished it. A beautifully looking hold. I love it.

Winter 5N1W: Have you noticed that the orb linked to a place without a door? It's probably a DROD bug, but you can get rid of this strange lightning thing by replacing the current orb with a new one. (By the way, how did you managed to do this? You might want to discuss this in the bugs board.)

Winter 6N: You don't need to drop the green doors to enter the stairs, because only blue and yellow is needed. Perhaps you can change both ends of the blue doors into walls?

Edit: Post #1400!

This is a known bug that was actually fixed fairly recently in 2.0.15, which is not available for Macs as of yet.

Many thanks! I'm pleased that you like it.

Ummm I have no idea how I did it, but reading Kevin's post below, maybe I didn't do it. Anyway, I have replaced it with a new one and hope that will mend it. If it does need the patch, there is nothing I can do about that.

Aha! Done. Thanks for pointing that out.

Elfstone.

Well, you would have done it, but perhaps by accident. You don't need the patch to fix it, you just need the patch to prevent you from doing it. The easiest way to fix it (if you haven't already) is to simply remove the orb and replace it with another one.

I hope I am not being unduly impatient, but it is a week since I posted the tidied up version of 'Seasons' and it has been downloaded 9 times. I have attended to the one or two comments made and I wonder if I might put the hold onto the Holds board now?

I am mindful of a comment Tim made back on the 16th Sept.:

Edit: And until hold uploading has been fixed? There's a bug during uploading right now.

Does anyone know if that bug has been fixed?

Elf.

I think so, since Doom has uploaded a hold since then.

Personally I think it's ready, unless you still want to make some modifications. But I think you might want (at least) a second opinion on this.
