The drop downs on the No Quarter site are indeed very cool.
You actually CAN add that kind of bit to the template, but keep in mind that the No Quarter site was completely custom written by the owner of the site, and they are indeed manually maintained. You can, of course, automate drop down menus somewhat using the
Embedded Menu Commands.
We've also got a function call you can use which works pretty well in javascript called "dyn_drop_down()" (You'll want to read the
dkpsystem.js file to see the code).
As for making your characters the main accounts, it's important to realize that characters and accounts are seperate entities. You can freely change ranks of the Characters in
Admin > Characters and Accounts > Characters. If you've got a separate account for that character, you will need to use the "Relinquish your Powers" option to transfer that power to the other account.
Otherwise, you don't need separate accounts for each character, in which case, you can merely rename your account by clicking "Edit Account" in the "Logged In" box.
