Thanks! We're starting to use it already in-house.

Currently, it requires you to use *some* form of authentication. I'm
working on a way to get around that for intranet deployers who don't
care (but _should_, but hey, it's their loss). If you set up your own
site, you also need to have somebody in the Admin group if you want to
get any editing done.

Sorry about that. Tibia switches between three modes: web, upload, and
server. The initial release had an ugly pattern where you would open a
webpage, switch to server mode (without realizing it) by clicking the
"server" flyout button and then hit save--and get nothing saved because
you thought you were still in "web mode". I changed the events a bit in
recent releases so that doesn't happen anymore; you only change to
server mode when you actually load a file from the server.

Numerous other buglets fixed over the weekend. Thanks for the feedback,
all!
