Window too tall[edit source]
I am one of those people noted at the bottom whose resolution will not fit the entire height of the window (For reference, my screen resolution is 1440x900). Following the suggested method to save changes and close the window works fine and is not an issue for me. However, I can't see the bottom of the window which makes me wonder how much I am unable to edit. When I drag it up as far as possible, I see the top of the words Combat Override Package List, which means there is at least one thing I cannot edit. Does anyone know of a method to change the size of the window? Also, could anyone tell me if there are any other editable fields at or below the level of the words Combat Override Package List? —NSejick 18:42, 25 February 2012 (EST)

Persistence of Forced Refs[edit source]
