in FIXED - Expanded character limit in private messages? November 2007

I'll put it on the list. I've run into this problem as well, especially when doing replies that include the original message. Thanks for the request!

in Gleemax Thoughts November 2007

Yeah, we'll probably never cater to the CCG and wargamer crowd. It's easier to succeed when you keep your focus small. As to the social networking, that's something we're on the fence about. We don't necessary want to focus on it, since the cam…

in Player Involvement November 2007

Look at point 2 from this post: http://www.treasuretables.org/2005/07/running-a-campaign-website I find that the best way to get players involved is the carrot vs stick approach. Either reward or punish them for not participating, but don't take…

in Activation Code not valid? November 2007

If she's managed to log in, then her account is activated. Maybe that's not clear enough. I guess there should be a "you're already activated" sort of message, since I have heard of this confusion before. Thanks for the report.

in Gleemax Thoughts November 2007

I won't lie: We really hope that WotC loves us so much (and gets so frustrated with Gleemax) that they come running, checkbook in hand. However...as photoneater says, past behavior indicates otherwise. I have never heard of WotC ever acquiring a…

in Internal server error October 2007

It should be fixed now. We're having some issues with our host right now, but we're working on getting them fixed. Thanks again for the report.

in Internal server error October 2007

Thanks for the report. I'll look into it right away.

in Data Backups (Questions and a Request) October 2007

Aha! Very good question! We keep nightly backups (7 days worth), weekly (1 months worth), and monthly (1 years worth). So, if there's a snafu or crash, we can restore to anytime in the previous week. In the case of a monstrous failure that g…

in Anybody use Technorati? October 2007

I still can't get the adventure logs to appear in the searches, but I'm pretty sure that Technorati is picking them up. I think the main issue is that there just aren't many incoming links, so the adventure logs are considered to have "no authority…

in Multiple Columns on NPC tracker October 2007

Well, at some point I'll probably have to add pagination to the list, so you get a previous and next page view (like on the campaign list). Then, the best way to navigate will be by filtering by tag. Getting the interface right is always the har…

in San Diego Fire - Shout out to Ryan October 2007

The co-founder of Obsidian Portal, "Ryan":http://www.obsidianportal.com/profile/ryan, has recently been caught up in the fires raging in San Diego. Last we talked, he's doing OK, and his house is still untouched. He and his wife were evacuated, bu…

in Line Breaks October 2007

Currently it's not possible. A lot of people have asked for this and I'm trying to figure out a way to make it work. It might be a while, though. Thanks for the request.

in Persistent Login? October 2007

That is weird. There are 2 different login schemes, mainly because the forum is a hacked version of a forum called Beast. Without getting too technical, it would be fairly difficult to provide a single sign-on that works for both the forums and th…

in Greetings from Southwest Florida October 2007

Hi Viz! I had much the same experience when I ran a campaign in the Forgotten Realms. I found it helped me quite a bit to simply erase all the listed NPCs from existence. So, the world, cities, organizations, and pantheon remained, but I made u…

in Why hello October 2007

You're lucky! I've tried to get my wife into gaming, and she hates it. Maybe it's a guy thing ;) For those who don't know, photoneater is running "The Accretion Gospel":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/accretiongospel Here is an especi…

in Yet another newb... October 2007

Welcome, welcome! Your campaign looks intriguing. Do you have any players yet? As always, I recommend pendandpapergames.com and nearbygamers.com if you're looking to meet other players. We hope to offer something similar soon, but for now we'r…

in Player Blogs October 2007

Ok. It's on the list, but don't expect it for some time.

in Can't Upload Maps October 2007

Thanks. We're working on it.

in FIXED - Deleting Obsolete Pages October 2007

Ask and ye shall receive... I added this tonight. You can now delete old wiki pages. Sorry that it took this long. We've just got a long list of things and never enough time to work on them.

in Yes we play in Texas too October 2007

Hi! While we try to be welcoming, I'm not sure you're in the right place. We don't have a player matching service (yet), and part of the goal of this website is to (freely) publish your tabletop RPG adventures. So, if you're not looking to make…

in My "Map" page is broken. October 2007

I'll look into it and see what I can figure out. We've been having some problems with the maps lately and we're trying to pin it down.
Micah2
in FIXED - Deleting Obsolete Pages October 2007

Ok, it seems pretty popular (and I, too, could use it...) so I'll bump it up on the priority list.

in Can't seem to edit an old log October 2007

Fixed (again). We're trying to figure out why a piece of the site keeps crashing. Thanks for all the bug reports!
Micah2
in Can't seem to edit an old log October 2007

Should be working now. Sorry for any inconvenience.

in Can't seem to edit an old log October 2007

Something crashed on the server. Let me see if I can restart things. Thanks for the note.

in Gleemax Thoughts October 2007

ha ha! You are too kind :) Now, if you're serious, then I need you to evangelize! When I go out and tell people that Obsidian Portal is better than Gleemax, no one believes me and they call me a spammer. If you guys do it, then it's genuine! …

in Is Gleemax available yet? October 2007

I have asked the main dude (Randy something-or-other) and his answer was "not yet" That's actually the correct answer to give and shows me that they can focus on what they need to do. I really hope they get the social networking stuff working soon…
Micah2
in Here's what I can't do... October 2007

Just as you asked, we've added the ability to link the characters to other characters. Check it out, it uses the same syntax as the wiki: [[:slug]] And, like you guessed, the DM wiki is separate from the adventure log. The adventure log is…

in Greetings and the like! October 2007

Greetings! I always get so angry when I hear horror stories about first RPG experiences. For some reason, certain anti-social psychos think it's their job to continue the stigma that surrounds us all. Newbs are some of my favorite players becau…

in Can't Activate Account October 2007

Can you private message (PM) me his e-mail address? An activation e-mail just bounced back to me (probably e-mail typo). If you can PM me the name he signed up with and his correct e-mail address, I will update the database.
