in spoilerblock? November 2008

I worked on this a little this morning. I've added 'name' to the list of acceptable attributes on a tags. This essentially means that you can place markers on your pages that you can jump to, which would allow for creating a table of contents, lik…

in Map page suggestions November 2008

Specifically on the issue of replacing instead of deleting, this is something we want to add. We just haven't gotten to it yet. Also, the maps are one of the less-used features, so it gets discounted when we're deciding what to work on. As to t…

in spoilerblock? November 2008

What other sites use the div with a 'spoiler' class? That would be fairly easy to implement (assuming the viewer has javascript turned on), and I'm a fan of following conventions set by other sites. Can you point to an example? In general, I'm …

in Wiki Edit Buttons November 2008

Sorry for slow reply. Been busy... I've got an idea: What if the green bar that shows at the top and says "your page has been edited" (it's called the flash) had an edit link in it? Initially, you scroll to the bottom and click edit. Then, ea…

in Posting to Wiki November 2008

We're terribly sorry about this. We made some changes that would have caused problems for people editing their wiki pages during the update. Did you happen to leave the edit screen open for a long time without saving? Also, please email me at s…

in Updates to tagging November 2008

Note: We're seeing some error reports coming in. If you have any problems with updating or creating new wiki pages, please let us know. We think it might be solved, but we're still trying to troubleshoot it.

in Updates to tagging November 2008

This is the place to voice your thoughts on the recent updates to tagging. Like it? Hate it? We'd like to know... Also, Ryan and I are very busy in real life these days, so hopefully that will explain our absence from the forums. We're making…

in Editing NPCs October 2008

I added a fix for this, and we'll roll it out tonight. Essentially, here are the rules: * GM can edit any PC/NPC * Player can edit any NPC and their own PC As an added bonus, we added the ability (finally) to gift a character to another play…

in Safari Error Message October 2008

Ok, I'll take a look at the scripts we have on the edit character screen. We don't really use Safari (or IE6 or Opera) so they tend to have more problems than Firefox and IE7. It stems from the fact that cross-browser testing takes a lot of time…

in GM-only NPCs visible from user profiles October 2008

This is a relic of our original idea for OP as an online database for characters (and items, spells, monsters, etc...). The visibility controls are kind of arcane and hard to understand. We're trying to come up with a comprehensive solution for …

in Cannot Delete Wiki Pages October 2008

We've tried to make it harder in general to delete things. It was happening by accident too often.

in map seems to be hung up October 2008

Sorry folks, i've been away. I've restated the map server and it's churning through the backlog. I'll see if I can set up a way to force it to auto-restart if it crashes out. Thanks for the report!

in invites not getting sent October 2008

Is this still happening? We haven't heard reports from anyone else, so we assumed it was just a fluke.

in Customizable Dates in Adventure Log October 2008

Ouch! I had hoped no one would think of this. A customizable calendar was one of the original features on my list, along with a random weather generator, and some other stuff. Unfortunately, a custom calendar maker would be fairly hard to creat…

in Character Transfer October 2008

This is actually on the TODO list. In the beginning, I never expected GMs to create the PCs, but it happens fairly frequently. Guess it's time to adapt the system to how people use it :)
Micah2
in Editing NPCs October 2008

This is a side-effect of the permissioning system. We're revamping the whole system (a little at a time) to get rid of these strange quirks. This is a really good one to know, and I'll add it to the top of the TODO list. It should be the case t…

in Calling on all CSS-savvy Web designers - Create your own campaign theme! October 2008

Hmm, all good ideas. We're big fans of the Zen Garden approach, and we're slowly trying to get rid of our non-semantic markup. Also, we've tried to go through and add container divs to most of our content pages ("blog_post", "wiki-page", and su…

in New Campaign Homepage October 2008

We're not really tallying votes, but it's good to hear that we're not crazy. If anyone has any ideas, toss them out there.

in New Campaign Homepage October 2008

Ryan and I have discussed it, and here is our plan. We're laying it out to gather any feedback or better ideas. h3. Campaign Homepage As I said earlier, we are going to offer a campaign homepage that is a special wiki page. It will be separa…
Micah2
in New Campaign Homepage October 2008

Ok, based on the discussion and the feedback we've gathered, we're going to go with the separate homepage. It will be a new wiki page, separate from the main wiki page. You can style it as you like, and link to other wiki pages as desired. We'v…

in [FIXED] Can't add a player to my campaign October 2008

No apologies! We depend on our users to catch the (very few) bugs that slip through. It should be fixed now. Please let us know if you're still having troubles.

in [FIXED] Can't add a player to my campaign September 2008

We're seeing this error in our logs too. I'll see if I can fix it tonight. If not, I'll get to it sometime this weekend. Sorry for the inconvenience!

in Upgraded but cant add maps September 2008

Sorry about that. Usually it only takes about 10 minutes for a map to appear, but very rarely the map manager crashes and we have to restart it. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Micah2
in New Campaign Homepage September 2008

Wow, I guess people feel pretty strongly about this. It's good to get all this feedback. Of course, we won't be able to satisfy everyone, but please keep voicing your arguments and we'll try to come up with a good solution.

in Upgraded but cant add maps September 2008

The GM is considered the "owner" of a campaign. So, the campaign can only have more than 1 map if the GM has a paying subscription. To be clear, are you having problems with the other campaign as well? Or, is map upload functioning normally the…
Micah2
in New Campaign Homepage September 2008

Ok, it seems like the consensus (so far) is to have a separate home page. Unless I hear some strong dissent, I'll go ahead and try to get that in next weekend. I hate to keep switching things around, but continual improvement necessitates a little…

in New Campaign Homepage September 2008

bq. Maybe I’m just overly critical, though… but I kind of feel like I need to go back and look at my campaigns now and change how the Wiki front page looks, since now it’s the first thing people will see. Yeah, we're hesitant to make lots of chan…
Micah2
in New Campaign Homepage September 2008

We're switching the homepage (ie. landing page) for campaigns from the Adventure Log to the wiki main page. The reasoning is that more people are using OP as a wiki site with a built-in blog, rather than a blog with a built-in wiki. Plus, it will …

in Publish? September 2008

Absolutely not! We don't want to steal your material. The publish box is our way of getting consent to use your material in promoting the site and your campaign. We make no claims on ownership of your material. Currently, the only thing we do …

in Custom Campaign Banners September 2008

We capped the dimensions at 730x300. It should scale the height correctly (up to 300px) and center correctly horizontally. Can you explain what it's not doing correctly? Also, as a sneak peak, we're hoping to roll out a new design soon, as well…
