Sharp flames.... that's a hard one sometimes... it depends on the variations you are using too. Scaling transforms is probably the most effective way of sharpening - lots of trial and error involved, tweaking triangles until you are satisfied with the result.
I have my main window quality set to 25 - so if a flame looks pretty good at that quality, it's gonna look VERY nice when rendered at say 500 or 1000 quality.
The reset location thing doesn't work very well sometimes, and I don't know why... grrr! But all is not lost... in the Adjustment window, Render tab, there is a wonderful little thing called Master Scale... increase that and the image will get larger - in the 2.04 version, if you double click on the words Master Scale it will reset to 32 - and you can change the numbers manually as well. Don't go too high, or your flames will lose a bit of definition - I find that scales of 50 or less give me the best results. For finer detail at closer zooms, use the Zoom function instead of Master Scale...
Questions are good my friend... you ask as many as you need to, OK?
