hmm, normally, the banding shouldn't be visible. There are some overlap in the exports to help get the effects right, but normally, they should be joined correctly.

Unless you have already done so, you can increase the size of each pass to make it render in fewer passes.

Try typing EXPORTSETMPPP on the command line and hit enter, and give it a value of 40000000 (watch the number of zeroes. The default value is 4000000)

I am pretty sure this is a bug. I'm reporting it to the relevant authorities.

The old forum did have a filter for participated discussions in the sidebar. Unfortunately, this new version don't have that option. You should see the filter for 'My Discussions' there though, a few links below the new discussion button, without having to go to your profile.

These looks great.

I am not 100% crazy about the placement of the legend text. I would probably have moved the entire complex a bit to the right so you can fit the legend text in the bottom left corner, and moved the compass rose either above it, or reduced it a little bit and put it in the right corner.

That's the way of most things. Supporting old software costs money, and if the sales volume is low, it is a net loss. Still selling old maps that are now technically incorrect also causes a lot of confusion in the customer base when the maps don't match up with the books any more, leading to even more support requests and requests for updates. (Of course, it wuld have been nice if they continued their deal with PF and updated it for newer versions, but they had their mapping software in the lineup [Dundjinni], and the atlas maps wouldn't have been compatible with that.)
