Limit Character Portrait Size on Character Sheets
March 2014
Should be possible! Mess with the following: bc. #sidebar .character-avatar .frame {width:100%;} Change width or height to suit your needs. Oooh... or possibly use "max-width: ___px; max-height: ____px;". That'll give you upper limits for what…

Resize main panel
March 2014
Oooh... I may not have fully understood what you wanted! So no matter how big you make your window, you want the main container to take up the entire space? The easiest thing to do (I think) is going to be to change the "Content Max Width" area i…

Yeah, that was the Reforge. Page sizing was actually one of the first things I worked on, so I had forgotten that scaling was no longer present! Here's how I think we got Tyellador resizing, put the following in your CSS area: bc. .main-conten…

I Want to be Cool Too, or How to Get a Signature at the End of a Post

And it truly was a brave step! Yet alas, your quest is in vain, there is no automated option. This is how I do it at least: I've been using "Texter":http://lifehacker.com/238306/lifehacker-code-texter-windows, which is a simple but fun utility. B…

Cheat Sheet & Tables
March 2014
edited March 2014
I can think of two kludgey work-arounds to do this. First, save your Excel document as a .csv (Comma Separated Values) file. The easier way: It won't textile your tables, but it will HTML them: "http://area23.brightbyte.de/csv2wp.php":http://area…

Happy GMs Day 2014
March 2014
The first reference I've found to GM's Day is from an "EN World thread":http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?32485-March-Fourth-for-GM-s-Day%21%21 in 2002. Somebody was saying that GMs should get more appreciation, and thus a day, and was ask…

So, in my forum, I still have a thread stickied from when I stickied it pre-reforge. Which is good, I want it to be a sticky thread. But, is there a way post-reforge to sticky threads? 'cause I want to do that some more. -Thorvaldr DM of "Tyella…

Overlooked Campaigns
March 2014
@Basileus: _Great_ find! And good searching, getting down to the 6-fan range! Some parts of Astra still need to be filled out/tweaked a bit more... but _terrific_ use of CSS, good consistent theme, good visuals throughout... this will definitely des…

Opinions on tabletop game soundtracks?

@bluesguy: Meagoinc pointed me over here, and that ambient mixer is BRILLIANT! I found some simple storm one once... but this has so many more options! My favorite so far is probably "Owly Night":http://environment-other.ambient-mixer.com/an-owly-ni…

@madartiste- Thank you for that! All I know of CSS is explicitly things I've looked up on how to do for Tyellador, so I'm lacking a lot of basic knowledge, like commas! Fantastic, thank you for linking me to that resource. My code is currently an ep…

Scroll down a bit "here":http://redcloth.org/hobix.com/textile/ and you'll find some examples of how to do tables in textile. Basically, use the vertical bar. So for instance, bc. |In|Theory|These| |Would|All|Be| |Separate|Cells|.| |In|…

@AshenHaze- It depends if you're an ascendant user or not. If you are, there are CSS fixes for everything that we could get to you pretty quickly. Either way, you can change some of the default colors in the Settings -> Style tab. Try that and se…

So yes, your edit icon _is_ there, but it is hard to see. I am possibly attaching an overly large picture to demonstrate: !(media-item-align-none){width:200px;}//db4sgowjqfwig.cloudfront.net/assets/300170/edit_icon_button.jpg?1393335466(edit_icon…

Hmmmm, weird! I'm not _aware_ of any settings that could do that. If you want to temporarily invite me to your campaign, I'll take a look. (Just add "Thorvaldr" into the "Invite New Player" box in your Players tab in your Settings.) I'll see if I ca…

So I know I've been AWOL for a couple of months until recently, but has this been an issue for people? When I edit a forum post in the Tyellador forum, even if I uncheck the "Email All" box... and all of the other boxes are unchecked, I'm _pretty_ s…

I think page 14/15 is some sort of dividing line. (Although maybe it's a coincidence.) There are no campaigns that I saw with fewer than 20 fans from pages 1-14. Page 14 has some campaigns last updated in 2010. Once you hit page 15, there are all c…

I found Tyellador on "page 16!":https://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns?page=16 I see a few recently update campaigns around us, and then a whole bunch last updated in 2010/2011. I think campaigns with fewer than 20 fans get relegated to second-cla…

Thank you all so much for your support! All credit for the aesthetics of the site (including much of the graphics work) goes to Meagoinc (our resident medievalist) though. I'm simply the code-monkey that kludges it all together. :) Meagoinc and I…
