in New WYSIWYG editor - WARNING!! August 2008

No, it should be on your edit profile page. Still, that's an interesting concept...charge money to turn off an irritating wysiwyg editor. Maybe it's time to get rid of the damned thing altogether...

in Importing from MediaWiki? August 2008

Ah, good call. Go to your profile and click the edit icon. There should be a "use WYSIWYG" checkbox. Make sure all your players do as well. The WYSIWYG editor and Textile do not play nice. Seriously, we should just get rid of that WYSIWYG.…

in Importing from MediaWiki? August 2008

We'd love to offer migration help, but it's actually a very hard problem. Supporting a wiki-to-wiki converter would be very hard to write, would need to work with multiple wiki syntaxes, and would take time away from other features. Plus, it would…

in Any OPers going to GenCon? August 2008

If anyone is going, we'd be extremely grateful if you'd be willing to hand out / lay out some OP fliers for us. No huge commitment, just give them to some fellow gamers and drop them on any info tables. If you're interested, drop us a line at su…

in Who's going to GenCon? August 2008

Anyone here going to GenCon this year? If so, would you be willing to hand out some OP fliers and/or place them on some info tables? We're not looking for a huge commitment or an all day thing, just give them out to fellow gamers and drop them off…

in FIXED - Google Maps API August 2008

For some reason, there have been links seeping out with our IP address instead of our domain name. Basically, never use 67.207.129.22 Instead, always use http://www.obsidianportal.com That should fix it for you. Micah

in deleting account? August 2008

To maintain database integrity, we don't delete user accounts. However, if you don't want to receive emails, go to "your profile page":http://www.obsidianportal.com/profile/sszvein, edit your profile, and uncheck the "send me emails" box.

in FIXED - NPC Tags August 2008

I'll take a look at this. There are some things with tagging that even I don't understand :(

in Obsidian Portal beats WotC, film at 11 August 2008

Heh, wish I could blame them for our own stupidity... ;)

in image size for maps August 2008

Right now they have to be square, and the sizing depends on the zoom level. Since you're a premium member, your maps get 5 zoom levels (instead of 3). So, without going into technical details, 4096x4096 would be the optimal size. Now, that's a hu…

in Database backup restoration - flames here, please August 2008

While updating Obsidian Portal today, we had a database problem that resulted in the loss of some vital data, rendering the site unusable. On the plus side, we do nightly backups, so we were able to restore the database from last night. On the min…

in FIXED - Random 500 errors July 2008

We upgraded some server software last night, and now we're seeing some random 500 errors. We're looking into it, and we should be able to fix it fairly quickly.

in FIXED - Wiki Tab Error July 2008

We did some upgrades to the server last night, and it seems that there are a few kinks to work out. Thanks for the report and we'll get right on it.

in FIXED - User Ratings - Miscalculation? July 2008

We did change the math...and accidentally introduced a bug. Don't worry, it's on our TODO list. Thanks for pointing it out, though.

in Cream of the Crop? July 2008

It was pretty simple: You had to have the highest score, plus a minimum number of votes. So, since there were several campaigns that had 5.0, they stayed on the list indefinitely. Cream of the Crop works similarly, but rotates who is shown rando…
Micah2
in Mini-Message Board July 2008

Ah, but this is not a PbP system. It's meant to support RPGs played in the classic analog paper-and-pencil style. As to the original request, it's a good idea. I'm hesitant to promise anything, as good, usable forums are not a trivial thing to …
Micah2
in Cream of the Crop? July 2008

It updates (roughly) every time something changes on the homepage (campaign changes, new update in the recent updates list, that sort of thing). It is pseudo-random in that it selects only "good" campaigns. I'll leave it a little secret as to wh…
Micah2
in (perhaps) a bug in the RSS feeds July 2008

Are you talking about the Recent Updates RSS feed? Can you give an example of an item that appeared?

Nobody wants to critique our HTML? C'mon now, it's definitely not perfect...

in How much stuff can I put on my site? July 2008

There is no limit to the number of wiki pages, adventure log posts, or characters. Each free campaign gets 1 map, and premium gets 10. Can you explain what you're trying to add and how it's not showing up?
Micah2
in Calling on all CSS-savvy Web designers - Create your own campaign theme! July 2008

We're hoping for several themes to appear: fantasy, space, comic book, horror, action-hero, and any other classic genres. I'm sure there are people out there who have good ideas for this stuff. I am always flattered when people say we have good …

in FIXED - Aaah! Where are my characters and items? July 2008

Nope, I looked into it, and it's a separate issue. I'll contact you about it in the PMs.
Micah2
in FIXED - Aaah! Where are my characters and items? July 2008

Hey guys, Just a note: your characters and items are still there, even if you don't see them in your profile. I accidentally deleted them from the view when I updated the profiles to have tabs. I will add them back in ASAP. Sorry for the inc…

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

By the way, don't hold me to it, but I'd like to make our campaign pages look a little more like blogs on Blogspot (check out "one of my favorites":http://diffle-history.blogspot.com/). A small-ish consistent Obsidian Portal header at the top, with…
Micah2
in Calling on all CSS-savvy Web designers - Create your own campaign theme! July 2008

For a long time, we have wanted to offer a greater degree of personalization. There are lots of campaigns that are already stretching Textile to the limits adding imagery and such to their pages, and we want to make this easier for everyone. Now, …

in New Feature - The Big Map - easily find games in your area July 2008

Good idea. I programmed it as fast as I could this weekend, now I have to figure out where to put it and what to do with it...
Micah2
in New Feature - The Big Map - easily find games in your area July 2008

The main menu has a link to "The Map" next to Campaigns.

in How do you run your game with the OP wiki? July 2008

I have hardly any GM-only info. I'm only about 1/1000th of a step ahead of the players in everything anyway, so I don't have a lot of secret info to worry about. Not that I'm great at improvising, just that I'm lazy and spend most of my time imp…

in New Feature - The Big Map - easily find games in your area July 2008

People have always wanted a way to find campaigns that they can join. We've wanted to offer this from the start, but have always been busy with other stuff. Finally we've gotten around to adding the first steps to such a feature, "The Big Map":h…

in [FIXED] Ratings Bug(s) July 2008

Ryan recently made some updates to ratings to hopefully speed things up (the site has been getting a little slow lately...) I'll make sure he's aware of the problems and looks into it.
