Thank you all for your input--I'll have to start poking around and see what I prefer now that I at least know what I'm looking for in a lot of cases.

<t>igazor: I actually forgot actives take the bus from school as well (embarrassing--I've been spending too much time fussing over stuff in build/buy mode and not enough in live mode ._.;;), but as far as commuting elsewhere goes I was thinking along the lines of taxis/walking depending on the dista...

Is there a tuning file I can make that would stop kids from riding bikes home from school etc? It's nice for speed's sake, but it sorta feels like cheating when I haven't even bought them a bike/I want to save funds before I do.

I'm trying to place a railing along the sides though and for some reason when I click it it doesn't show up (like there's no transparent rail showing up with my cursor) to drag along the rest of the deck outline. Any idea why? I even put ...

I feel so stupid for not being able to figure this out, but I've tried everything I can think of and the stairs always behave like I'm trying to go down into a basement. ><;; Shows how much I use build mode huh.

igazor: I didn't know there was a name for that particular type of window so I couldn't really google it effectively--you're a lifesaver!

(Thanks for the info on photo embedding too.)
