in What's going on with the rating system? 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.

in Location Tracker July 2008

We're looking at something for displaying a portion of the map on the wiki page. A first cut would probably be something like a sidebar that shows a small portion of the map, centered on the marker for that particular wiki page. The wiki link sy…

in Conan RPG as a game system July 2008

Lost track of this, sorry. It's in there now!

in Location Tracker July 2008

You caught me at a good time... There are a couple ways to do this. One way is to create a tag for all of your places. For example, create the tag _place_ and add that to all your wiki pages for locations. Then you can sort on the _place_ tag …

in Hallo Dar July 2008

We want to eventually add a player-finder of some sort, but we also don't want to re-invent the wheel. As you've said, there are already several out there in the world, and we'd rather partner up with one of them than try to compete. In the spir…

in FIXED - 404 on first login July 2008

Done! We've updated the site to not allow new signups with periods, but we are not changing old logins unless asked by the users.

in Login July 2008

We didn't write the forum, just crammed it into our application, so we try to modify it as little as possible. That being said, the original author is supposedly working on some changes to allow for single-sign-on. So, as soon as that's done, we…

in Wiki's June 2008

Try it like this: [[Cities | Cities]] or like this: [[Cities | Cities of the Realm]] The text before the pipe "|" is the name of the page (ie. Wiki Page Name) and the text after it is how you want it to display. So, in the examp…

in Sponsors!! June 2008

We have secured sponsorship for the featured campaign spot! Now, instead of just getting a pat on the back, you'll be getting a pat on the back plus some schwag! We just got our first shipment of books, and we're eager to turn those around and sen…

in ADDED - Game system links June 2008

Ok, we've added this feature, but I haven't added all the data. The system link in a campaign's header will link to any external info we have about that game. I'll be adding links whenever I have a spare moment, so expect to see game system links …

in New Feature - Wiki page tags June 2008

We've added tagging to wiki pages (and adventure log posts, too). This works pretty much identically to the NPC tagging. This will hopefully allow you to better structure your wikis so you can group things into meaningful categories. For example,…

in New Feature - Wiki link quick lookup June 2008

Just like we added the character link quick lookup, we've added a wiki link quick lookup. This should help you quickly link to other pages in your wiki, without needing to go hunting for the correct syntax to create the link. Hope this helps!

in GM Only Information Block June 2008

I've set it so there's a dividing line between the public and GM only material, along with a header saying "GM only" Hopefully this will make it clear where the dividing point is!

in New Feature - PC/NPC quick lookup June 2008

Ok, I just added the wiki-link quick lookup. Any more Firefox tabs open that we need to work on?
Micah2
in Invisible NPCs? June 2008

I need to go through and revise all the public/private/visible/invisible stuff with characters. It has grown over time and really has no underlying design philosophy. As such, it's confusing and I'm not even sure how everything works now. To ma…

in New Feature - PC/NPC quick lookup June 2008

As an aside from the topic at hand, let me just note how much easier it is to improve software that I use myself on a daily basis. I can quickly see what works and what doesn't since I'm a user just like anyone else. You'd be surprised at how mu…

in New Feature - PC/NPC quick lookup June 2008

bq. The wiki page list is usually the other tab I have open. That's sort of what I expected. Either that or the Hypertext d20 SRD. Anyways, adding a wiki page quick-lookup is the next logical step. If I get a chance sometime soon, I'll toss …

in 404 on Campaign Invite and Character June 2008

Well, there are 2 errors: 1. The danon.ray account has the period in the name. When we get a chance we'll update the code to make this impossible. 2. Your Navik account has "danon.ray" as your e-mail address. Obviously, that's not a real email…

in ADDED - Game system links June 2008

Yeah, I've thought about the same thing, although the affiliate link was something I hadn't considered. Hmm, maybe you're on to something here...
Micah2
in Multiple GMs June 2008

bq. If not allowing multiple GMs, how about allowing assignment of a GM? The current GM of a game would be able to switch GM status to an individual player or “hand over the reigns” so to speak. This should be possible in the edit party menu. Yo…

in New Feature - PC/NPC quick lookup June 2008

Yep, one less tab. That's exactly what I was dealing with. Now...what are the other tabs _you_ have open? That might help me figure out what next to simplify. Is it trying to find the names of wiki pages?

Done and Done.

in DnD 4th June 2008

I've been skimming the PHB, and I have to say that I'm wary. I have avoided (due to not enough time) all the previous discussion, so I was pretty much a blank slate when I opened the PHB. Having looked through, I frankly have to agree with the peo…

in New Feature - More latest updates RSS feeds June 2008

We have added latest updates RSS feeds for each user, each user's friends, and each user's favorite campaigns. So, you can now drop these feed URLs into your favorite feed reader and keep track of what your favorite campaigns are up to, as well as …

in New Feature - PC/NPC quick lookup June 2008

I don't know about the rest of you, but I think it's a real pain to have to keep switching back and forth between the wiki edit screen and the NPC list in order to find the right slug/id in order to add wiki links to my characters. So, since I go…

This has been fixed!

in Editing PCs June 2008

Yes, it's almost certainly an issue where one of your players has "use WYSIWYG editor" turned on. It can be changed from the edit profile screen. We'd like to move away from the wysiwyg editor and move toward a MediaWiki (ie. Wikipedia) style mo…

in FIXED - Campaign Update Feeder June 2008

BTW: This was fixed a while ago but I forgot to update this thread. sorry

in A "Shared" field for GM and one player June 2008

Hmm, it's an interesting idea. Do you have that many secrets with individual players? I guess I'm lazy in that I let everyone know pretty much everything. I have toyed with the idea of allowing for per-user permissions on certain wiki pages. S…
