It just worked for me with replying to this message.

Updating should fix his problem.  In the long list of compile 
problems I had, part of it was do to not being updated to 5.3.

Could be cool to have, but it might also get depressing.  My rank 
rate graph would make the stock market in '29 look like it gained. 
I've gone from 5 ranks per hour to 1 rank in 5 hours. =)

I'd like for it to be able to do that as well.  I was planning on 
rescanning all my logs once scribia is done.  I do have all my logs 
from the war on.  So we should be covered for logs.  I can remember 
the messages given for kills and money changing at least on or two 
times.  I think some of the experience messages (from chests, random, 
ect) have changed a little too.

This is something to be careful with.  Clan Lord Log viewer seemed to 
bog down a little and get less user friendly when Mike started adding 
graphics to everything.  Some would be nice though.  A good balance 
will just need to be found.
