I am trying to create something along the lines of the Oenopian Fleshforges, but set up for an Elven guild that also has fighters and rogues in it in addition to mages. I have been trying to locate where this already created guild is in the editor, but I cannot find it. Anyone able to point me in the right direction? I'd appreciate it...

Thanks! I could see it on one of my PCs, but not on the other. I'll have to look into that first I think...
I wish there was a good write-up on how to exactly "best" install HeroLab and get the other sources working well together to get as much as possible working together, as I must have a conflict somewhere... I do control-k and set everything to use a default of almost everything "on", but I must be missing something on my main PC. My laptop shows it flawlessly. Thanks for the reply!

I understand that Aaron, and thanks for replying, but that isn't quite what I meant. I went to the faction tab on the home PC and saw a lot of factions, but none of the ones in the Inner Sea Magic guide even after I double checked to ensure it was checked for the profile I had up. It works properly on the fastest laptop, just not my desktop. I have 2 other laptops I loan out during the game to my players and I can check those later, but it is my main PC that spend most of my time that I will have to double check again. I am obviously missing something.
As for the other point, frankly, I want it all. I held off on buying Herolab for quite some time and spent a lot of $ on books and pdfs, and now that I have most of them, I'm putting my $ here. (I spent 35 on myself for Father's day, for example) So, this means that I'm collecting everything herolab I can find, and working on creating more, such as adding in the Ultimate Magus class from 3.5, adding other sources as I can find them, etc.
I have continued adding sources from Wolflair, but I have also been working on adding in others such as from Cheese Weasel and d20pfsrd. Frankly, I should have invested a long time ago... but I'm trying to find the best way to add in as much as I can without screwing anything up, and I'm hoping I haven't messed up anything on my desktop as I try stuff there first (It runs faster than the old laptops, so they get done last.)

If you add in every single .user file from all over you may run into issues. Some stuff I found from RavenX actually "hides" classes, feats, or other abilities. So if you installed for example Darksun he "hides" many of the APG classes and that is done before the "source" is check marked. So even if you don't have Darksun checked marked in example those APG classes are now hidden and no longer accessible.
So it is possible that one of the .user files you found is hiding these factions.
If you get the "unique id" from the laptop you can then search the .user files (they are simply text files) for that Unique ID to see if one is causing it to be hidden.

I've got Hero Lab on three computers -- home desktop, laptop, and work desktop (for slow times). In order to keep my .user files synced, I use Dropbox plus some symlinks. If I edit it on one, it's available to all. And all I have to do is make sure Dropbox is up to date before I open Hero Lab.
If you'd like to try this yourself, here are directions. I'm on Windows 7; other operating probably require different commands. Replace BOB with your own Windows user name.
1) Save your .user file to your Dropbox folder, usually located at:
C:\Users\BOB\Dropbox
2) Right-click the desktop, go to "New", and pick "shortcut" from the sub-menu.
3) Type in "cmd.exe" (no quotes); click Next; click Finish. This will create a shortcut to the Windows command prompt.
4) Hold down the Shift key and right-click the command prompt shortcut you created in the previous step. Pick "Run as administrator" from the list. (You may or may not need to enter an administrative password, depending on how your Windows is configured).
5) Change directories to the Hero Lab Pathfinder data files directory with the following command:
That should include the quotes, because there is a space in the Hero Lab folder name.
6) Assuming that the name of the file is my-stuff.user, enter the following command:
This will create a "sym link" -- basically, a pointer. The real file lives in your Dropbox, but the sym link in the data folder will direct Hero Lab to the correct place to open it.
7) Repeat step 6 for as many .user files as you have in your Dropbox.
8) Exit the command prompt and delete the shortcut to it on the desktop.
You need to repeat steps 2-8 on each Hero Lab computer that needs to share the .user file in your Dropbox. If you add more .user files later, they too need to have symlinks added, by the same procedure.
The setup is a little cumbersome, but I've found it very useful.

Ahh, thanks for that info ShadowChemosh, I will keep that in mind. I have likely installed a few of those, so I will have to uninstall them to see if that fixes it. Is there a "configuration" or set of files that you would recommend as working well together with the Paizo stuff I am continuing to buy?
wdmartin, I use googledrive, but yeah, that is a pretty good idea, just having one working repository... I will likely do something similar! Just to keep my life simpler.
Also, I have been using 1 file for 1 change or item, so I have one for Practised Spellcaster feat, one for a dagger I entered in, etc. Is there a recommendation on this practice as well? Eventually, I would like to add to the community even though it will take me a while to get "up to snuff" on a few things.

Quick reply: If this comes up, I have the following 3 things added into the desktop MAIN pc: Community Player Pack, Ultimate Psionics, and Super genius Games Package
I've been adding in some of the Super Genius Games loot stuff, although I haven't figured out how to add in the Guantlets of the War Mage quite right to list as having any effect like on the specials page yet.

The stuff I know works is the main Community Packages located HERE. Also I do my best to keep the .user files on d20pfsrd repository up to snuff. Allot of the files from cheifweasels' site are pretty out of date. They may still work but they may not.Ahh, thanks for that info ShadowChemosh, I will keep that in mind.

Other than some of RavenX stuff hiding classes his packages are being kept pretty up to date and working. So those are worth checking out HERE.
Those are the best up-kept places that I know of currently.
That seems a little extreme actually. My recommendation is one .user file for each "type" of thing. So Races (ie playable races), Monsters, Classes, Feats, Weapons, Equipment, Spells, etc... The idea is to group together a large number of "Things" into one file.Also, I have been using 1 file for 1 change or item, so I have one for Practised Spellcaster feat, one for a dagger I entered in, etc. Is there a recommendation on this practice as well?

I have seen some people do one file per Monster or Class because each Class/Monster is made up of many other "Things".
No wrong way to do this really. The only things as your new and starting I would mention is to start using a two digit ID that represents yourself or the package your working in. So for SGG stuff it would be "SG". The Community Bestiary uses "CB". Ultimate Psionics uses "PU".
The idea is to prevent your Unique ID's from hitting official ones or someone else. So lets use the feat "Dodge" as it would have an official Unique ID of "fDodge". If you where doing this in for the SGG stuff you would instead make it "fSGDodge". To help with this you can set this value in the editor now by going to "Tools->Set User Identifier". Then all future things will append the value in front of your Unique ID's.
