in Quick Description in Campaign NPC view May 2008

It's a good idea, but I'm not sure. It would work for small lists, but for long lists of NPCs, it would add more room. However, maybe if we shrunk the name a little we could fit a small version of the text. Keep the ideas coming!

in Sorry for my absence... April 2008

Hey all, I just wanted to apologize for my extended absence over the past week or so. I've just started a new job, and it's exhausting, so I have very little time to respond to messages and forum posts. I'll try to catch up over the next day or…

in "Featured ___________" April 2008

For a while, we had photoneater finding our featured content for us, but he's been very busy lately. I'll see if I can goose him back into business. Our other idea was to hold monthly contests and give out prizes for the top campaign and top cha…

in FIXED - Tags loose their " when NPC is edited April 2008

Yeah, it really is a PITA when the tags get screwed up. I'll bump up the priority of the ticket.

in can't post jpg picture April 2008

Thanks for the report. That means that something went wrong during the tiling process (where the map is split into pieces). I've deleted the offending maps. Try uploading them again, but give about 10-15 minutes for the tiling to happen, and pl…

in FIXED: Internal Server Error (500) April 2008

Yeah, sorry everybody. Sometimes bugs slip through the testing. As always, we greatly appreciate the bug reports and try to fix them as soon as we hear.

in Latest Updates - more or less? April 2008

Cool. All good ideas. It looks like the majority view is that the "allow editor to choose update notification" option is best, as long as it defaults to no-notification. I'll put it on the TODO list.

in First, second or third person? April 2008

I often live-blog our sessions (when I'm a player, not GM), so the posts come out sort of stream-of-consciousness. It's messy as hell, but I assume that only myself and the other players are reading, so I don't worry too much. There are other, bet…

in Latest Updates - more or less? April 2008

What are peoples' thoughts on the latest updates feature? More specifically, what about the number of updates - too many or too few? IMHO, it seems to me that there are too many updates, since it happens every time someone edits a wiki page or a…

in slooooooow! April 2008

lol If I had better photoshop skills I'd try to put something together for "Search Zombie"

in slooooooow! April 2008

We know! It's slow! Once again, the search feature is slowing everything down. We're about ready to put a bullet in it and switch to a new search system. Ryan's putting the finishing touches on it now, and hopefully we'll roll it out in a day …

in Anyone interested in writing tutorials / help guides? April 2008

Thanks for the responses, and I haven't forgotten! We're trying to get a few features in order, then we'll re-prioritize and see about getting some more tutorials in.

A truly wired family... Sometimes my wife sends me instant messages rather than yelling up the stairs, and no, our house is not that big ;)

One of these days I'll get around to adding these systems. Just so busy...

in New WYSIWYG editor - WARNING!! April 2008

AFAIK, there is no easy conversion. The two different styles are for two different types of people. TinyMCE is for people who just want to get something working. Textile is for those who want maximum control (ie. power-users). We could turn of…

in Premium Accounts Discussion April 2008

Ah, thanks for the reminder. I need to update that. The official count is 10 maps per campaign. We might up that, based on demand. Like you said, you can get 100s with 10s of campaigns, but that would be a real pain. We've got a major overh…

in counters for members, campaigns, & characters April 2008

We're at over 1500 members right now, I think around 500 campaigns, and several thousand characters. I can look for an accurate count in the database. The pace of registration seems to be increasing, which is exciting for me, but we haven't hit an…

in New WYSIWYG editor - WARNING!! April 2008

We've recently added a WYSIWYG ("what-you-see-is-what-you-get") editor (called TinyMCE) to most of the longer text fields. However, we must warn you: h2. Don't use both Textile and TinyMCE !! TinyMCE is for people that don't want to deal with…

in FIXED: Top rated characters should link to character page April 2008

Good catch, i'll add it to the bug list. We've been neglecting the characters (and items) and focusing more on the blogging/wiki tools for the main campaigns. We'll try to refocus on characters in the near future, but there's only so much time i…

in FIXED - Campaign Update Feeder April 2008

good catch. i'll add it to the bugs list. You're right that gm-only pages should not display in the update feeds.

in Does OP have afterhours downtime? April 2008

The backup scripts run around 11pm and 3am (backing up different stuff), but they're usually pretty quick and shouldn't cause any noticeable slowdown. The last few nights there have been some issues with the database, but we've made some fixes an…

in GM Only Information Block April 2008

Wow, you guys sure do learn Textile faster than me. I'm always amazed at the neat boxes and formatting that people come up with. I like the grey background, but it will be a little strange on larger pages. You'll have a regular text display on …

in GM Only Information Block April 2008

Sounds like a good idea and wouldn't be too hard to do. What do others think? How would you like this to work? We can use the heading structure like now, or we can differentiate with a different color background or something.
Micah2
in Timing Out/General Website Slowness April 2008

Yeah, it is acting wonky and we're troubleshooting it. A lot of this stuff never shows up until it's in production and lots of people are using it. Our best guess right now is that it has to do with some of the recent updates code we added. We'…

in Latest updates April 2008

We're going to watch it for a while and try to figure out the correct level of feedback from the updates. Right now, it looks like it's too much. It probably wouldn't be too hard to add a checkbox on the wiki edit page to allow for "this is a sm…

in Latest updates April 2008

Thanks for the thanks :) I always get a little depressed when I add a new feature and no one says anything. We'll be expanding this in the near future to offer (hopefully) the following: * user-updates (get a list of all updates for a particu…

in Wiki counter? April 2008

bq. However, if you’re going to do it make sure to do it right. That (along with some performance questions) is my main issue. Most counters are very simple things that track how many times the page is requested. So, instead of tracking _visito…

in FIXED - Tags loose their " when NPC is edited March 2008

No, it's not a browser issue, it's a bug. I'll put in a TODO for cleaning up the tag parsing.

in Another recruit via twentysided tale March 2008

Yes, welcome to OP! A quick note about gaping plot holes: They're often only gaping to you! I've had some doosies in my day, but they players never seem to notice. Then, if they do, I just throw in a new villain and they're instantly distracted…

in ADDED - Newly Updated/Added March 2008

Look for the little orange icon next to the "Latest Updates" on your main campaign adventure log page. This will let you track what's going on in a campaign.
