DDK
I posted in General Discussion, I sent off a bug report and so far I've gotten zero response. It's impossible that I'm the only person who has experienced this issue. Is there anyone even still working on this site or do they just collect people's money and do nothing to fix anything? This sheet issue has been going on for months. It doesn't save things that you input and doesn't delete things you want deleted. It's incredibly frustrating and annoying.

The Portal has gone through a period of developer inactivity (from the user point of view).
Recent facebook and forums posts led us to believe that may be turning around soon.
On the other hand, the character sheets are fan coded and submitted. Then once approved they are added to the site. They remain the responsibility of the creator to update however.
So I would see if that creator was still around, or whether the sheet can be given to someone else for development, to correct any issues.

Just trying to help out.
I've contacted him but it looks like there hasn't been activity on his account for almost a month now so I'm not holding out too much hope.
In any case, if you sent him a PM, he'll have received an email notification (unless he turned them off), so there you go.
The biggest issue I have with the 5E sheet is that Clicking "P" for Proficiency does not add your proficiency modifier to the Skill total, which it should. It seems like the only reason for there to be a toggle would be for it to by a dynamic box.
The other bug is that Skills to not always update when you change an ability score, meaning if you want them to autoupdate the boxes must first be manually cleared of text to default to "--" before reentering your new ability and have it update.
Hello. I created the DST. And perhaps I should be clear about something here -- I made this sheet For Free. I am not employed by Obsidian Portal. I was not paid to develop this. I have run no Kickstarter. I am -- in short -- under absolutely no obligation to further develop the product, nor to implement any new features that I don't feel like.
Now, if anyone out there is capable and willing to further develop the sheet from where I started, all of my code is available on Github here: https://github.com/tinwatchman/Responsive5e-Dynamic-Character-Sheet. I just added an open-source license, so it's all yours, free and legal-like. So go nuts.

The point of the toggle is to mark skills that you're proficient in. That's pretty much it. It's a button because I was developing this sheet using responsive design -- meaning that it can be used on multiple screen sizes -- and a button's easier to press on a touchscreen than a checkbox or something similar. It doesn't add the proficiency bonus because my GM at the time was using a house rule where we'd add 1d6 to our skill checks to represent said bonus, and I wanted to leave the user the freedom to do similar things.

The sheet's not really meant to do the math for you. From what I remember, I had it fill in the skills initially as a convenience thing during character creation. But from there on it's up to the user to keep things updated.

No need for snide remarks. My issues aren't with you, they're with the lack of response from OP staff on ANY site issue. The place is a barren wasteland.
