Hi There,
I have been an Ascent member for over a year now, and a member of OP as a regular member for over three years. What I like about Obsidian Portal, is it manages to provide a number of utilities as tools to a gaming table from an on-line presentation format. I am provided a number of tools that I can choose to dismiss, or choose to utilize. There is no ability to hide the tools you do not wish to use, but I can get around that easy enough through other ways.
This is going to be a post about a specific issue, but I did want to take the time to say that it doesn't cripple my Obsidian Portal experience. Though the reforge site is much prettier and far more intuitive, I find that the narrow window for wiki was a bit of an oversight on the developers part. Not only is the wiki essentially the backbone of the campaign tools, it likely has the most content other than characters within each respective campaign. By making considerable changes to the width, we are essentially required to reformat every wiki page to look 'clean'. If you view the new Characters section, the width is appropriate and allows for a better experience with modern wide screen monitors. But in the wiki, a huge chunk of what I consider usable width space is If I had the option of using the old structure with the re-purposed for a 'Last Update' header. While 'Last Update' is a useful retained tool, borrowing from the wiki width is far from ideal. I'd really like the OP wiki space to return to a reasonable width. Is anyone else bothered by this change, or is it just me?
I personally would rather use the old format if it means having usable wiki space. Other than that one very specific point, I am quite happy with what I'm seeing of the product. For now I am going to see if others around the world agree with this post.
Cheers

But it is better.

A 20 pixel wide gray bar will replace your right-hand sidebar; scroll over that with your mouse and you'll get all the normal stuff that should be in the sidebar.
Make sure you also use the Collapse Front Page Menu setting, else this'll look silly!
.main-content-container {
width:990px !important;
font-size:13px;
}
.character-avatar {
overflow:hidden;
}
.sidebar-adventure-log-neighbors {
overflow:hidden;
}
img {
max-width:none;
}
#sidebar {
width:20px;
z-index:2;
position:absolute;
left:980px;
background:#454545;
height:100%;
}
#sidebar:hover {
width:250px;
z-index:2;
position:absolute;
left:760px;
background:#202020;
}
.module {
overflow:hidden;
}
.sidebar-last-updated {
overflow:hidden;
}
Just trying to help out.
I do like the new calendar set up feature, much more useable to create events. Though again the font display seems very light.
I like the character lists being collapsed as well (just so it's not all gripes). Got the "see last time someone logged in" feature I requested too.
Is posting here enough to count as reporting?
Any chance we can get the option to set the width in the Style settings ?

This is broken.
Moving the left-hand sidebar and extending the main content area to where that bar starts would actually replicate almost exactly the width that we used to have available. That's not a particularly difficult tweak, actually.
So when you preview your content, you aren't really getting a reasonable indication of what it will actually look like when you apply the change.
What might be interesting is if they extended the width back to 730 pixels, and then allowed you to click it to bring it up as a popup blob similar to using a preview window.

Explore with the mouse... and see if you like the change.
Relevant code:
.adventure-log-index .post-column {
width: 800px;
}
.adventure-log-teasers .row {
height:250px;
}
.adventure-log-teasers .row:hover {
height:auto;
}
.adventure-log-teasers .row .post-column {
height:auto;
}
.adventure-log-teasers .adventure-log-post .row:hover .post-content {
height: auto;
}
.adventure-log-teasers .adventure-log-post {
height: auto;
}
.adventure-log-teasers .adventure-log-post .post-date {
width: 100px;
height:100%;
min-height:250px;
}
.row:hover .overflow-fade-out {
display:none;
}

I get what your saying but I have no idea how to do that, I've been on the style page and... well, I've no idea.
Can you tell me?
If this fix only takes care of an individual's settings and not the whole campaign for all users then OP needs to permanently widen the contents.
