ADDED - Campaign Subscription/Favorite Campaigns

Something I would like to see is a way to subscribe to campaigns, in a fashion. You can add a user to your friends list, and all the campaigns you are a part of are listed in your profile. You also have a list that tracks all the characters you are running- so why not the ability to "favorite" a campaign?

There are a lot of neat campaigns, and while I'm not so lazy as to avoid following them by searching them up, it would be nice to have a list of campaigns I've marked as "favorites" in my account info to browse through. That way, when I log on, I can just go down the list and catch up on all my favorites as well as my own.

Anyone else on board for an idea like this? And is it even possible?

I've been thinking about this for a while. It shouldn't be too hard to implement, it's just a matter of when I can get to it.

For now, I would suggest subscribing to the RSS feeds of the campaigns that you like. There are lots of RSS readers, like Google Reader or MyYahoo! Some e-mail programs can also do it (like Thunderbird).

Just go to the adventure log of the campaign you want to follow, and click on the little orange icon to the right( this guy: !http://www.obsidianportal.com/images/icons/feed-icon-28x28.png! ). That's the URL for the RSS feed.

Just seconding this request, it is hard to keep up with updates on other campaigns without digging through to find them sometimes :)

Micah

Added it just now! Ask and ye shall receive!

Awesome, I love it! Thanks! :D

That's a terrific feature! But is there a way to see a list of fans for each campaign?

Micah

The list of fans is on the todo list.

Also, would it be better if the profile list were ordered by last update time? This would push the most recently updated ones to the top. Currently, they're ordered by when they were added as favorites, and it doesn't seem that useful to me.

bq. Also, would it be better if the profile list were ordered by last update time? This would push the most recently updated ones to the top. Currently, they’re ordered by when they were added as favorites, and it doesn’t seem that useful to me.

I think it would be a good deal more functional that way.

Micah

Now they're ordered by last update time. Much more useful IMHO

Charsen

Excellent! That's exactly what I was hoping for. :D

Another suggestion: Could we get a "Campaigns with the most fans" section added to the front page?

add me to the 'would like to see a list of fans' pile. we rather unexpectedly got a fan and I want to thank them.
