November 2013
@JDarkShadow 1: the page width is changeable. Go to Settings. In the Advanced Tab, you wil have Content Max Width. Enter a value that you like. I have 1600, for example.

And the basic site works just fine now too. Unless, of course, what YOU are complaining about is that the non-standard changes you made were not ported over perfectly. h1. THAT would be something else. The basic site works fine. I eve…

@Dreadgazebo No worries. I've been there, sick kids, very close call/sick wife and a brand new job that I took with no backup plan. Hang on, it DOES get better. :-)

@Dreadgazebo: if I may make a suggestion, make sure you send EMAILS out to ALL your users with your update information and make the updates regular (every 2 days or so). Only a tiny percentage of your users frequent these forums and many, many of yo…

Custom CSS Beta Discussion
November 2013
uh..yeah...fixed the "private" thingy.... :-) as for the code, I tried just that. I even cleared out the little CSS I had and only added your code and nothing. Could it be that we CAN'T change that particular text? That it's "protected"?

Custom CSS Beta Discussion
November 2013
Hmmm...very strange. I am affecting it. I stole some come from the Internet and combined it with Langy's. I now can have a border, a background and so on, but no matter what I do, the text is ALWAYS grey. Even with the !important tag. Any ideas?

Would like to see if I can modify the behavior of the blockquote. Presently, it's grey text and a rather thin line to the right. What do I need to use to modify its attributes? .blockquote ?

How does your campaign use forums?
November 2013
no, not at all. We didn't use the forums, so I had nothing to lose. I'm just curious to know if they restored everyone's forum posts.

Curious: did they restore posts from before the Reforging when they restored the sub-forums?

What do you like about the Reforge? (not sarcastic)
November 2013
I like a lot of stuff. First, the overall look is much better. It looks and feels like a modern website, not a bare-bones blog-with-benefits. Although, ironicaly, we lost the share to Twitter/facebook/whatever that was always available in the old…

New layout and sub forums?
November 2013
Strange, it worked for me, was able to build entire sub-forum structure. Are you the GM? I clicked on "Manage Forums" then on the + symbol in the same location and was brought to a dialog where I could name it, describe it and give it a parent.

use the "Manage forums" link in the upper right-hand corner.

Just tested the returned subforums. Looking good. I like the appearance and the way the posts and subforums nest. My only gripe, rather minor, is that when you post in a subforum, you have to choose, from a drop down, in which forum/subforum it g…

@nestor I respect your decision and, incidentally, thank you for voicing it without throwing a tantrum like some other posters. You might want to comeback in a few months to see if they implement some things that might address some of your object…

@Nestor. Which issues? Can you be specific? Because the code is, in most cases, place holders until the real fix is in. For example, the white text on grey background will be addressed. (IIRC) In the meantime, you simply copy and paste a single line…

@Micah Thanks for the update. Sub-forums and image uploads will go a long way to address the major issues most people have had.

Are The Modifications Complete? - ? Mainly About Natural Editing ?
November 2013
go to the various CSS threads. There are some quick fixes like making all the text in edit boxes black on white. Goes a long way to fix the shortcomings of the Reforge while we wait for an official fix.

HI JayJay, the Natural Editing is planned for later this year, although that is based on what I have heard. Official word has not, as far as I know, changed that. You can increase the size of the content area by going into Settings->Advanc…

Sorry if I made it sound like it wasn't possible at all. I have been working on my campaign for 5 hours, both pen/paper and OP. I am suffering a bit of "tunnel vision" at the moment. :-)

Well, ok, I can always go the URL way, agreed. I just think it might be a good idea to make all links to content within your campaign site work the same way and abstract the ...technical?..aspect. Click a button, choose from a list of content of a s…

hmmm....had not noticed the "adventure log" checkbox for the wiki link. Ok, that's done. Where can you link to a map? None of the button on the right in the editor seem to link to them. Am I missing something?

I would like to hav the ability to link to a forum post from wiki or anywhere, for that matter. Sometimes the content of a forum post is relevant and could be used as a reference. Thanks!

Hi Micah! Thanks for the update! I would like to point out a minor issue as you're working on the forums: When you delete all the items in a thread, the thread itself doesn't go away. It says 0 items but it's still there and i can see no way to r…
