Mobile Browser woes
February 2009
Admittedly this is an ultra-low priority, but the site front page does not display correctly in my phone's mobile browser. The site logo image appears on the far right of the login information.

Areas in maps? GM-only maps?
January 2009
There's no way I know to do what you want _within_ OP. Still, I gotta love anyone running Bug City.

Linking halfway down a page.
January 2009
It is. I've started to set name attributes on a few of my pages for future linking.

Whoa! What happened? Everything is different!!
January 2009
Garamond as a font has a few issues that I've had to deal with in the past, beyond simply being a serif font - and I have to say that I'm not a fan of Garamond. Apart from that, very nice job - and just in time for the Penny Arcade traffic spike! …

Wiki Edit Buttons
November 2008
I like that idea. Personally, about 70% of the edits I make are to pages I _just_ edited, so that's pretty close to perfect.

Excellent. I can't wait to get in there and add a TOC to some of my longer wiki pages.

Invitation to Mythgara
October 2008
Most of it can be transfered very easily with cut and paste, and you can even link to your current website from your Obsidian Portal campaign page if you want. It doesn't take much tech savvy to set up a nice looking and easy-to-use wiki here.

Obsidian Portal page. Have you put your campaign on Obsidian Portal yet? It's easy to get feedback there, because people can leave comments and rate the material you've posted.

Hello All
October 2008
Your pages look great, but the wall of text can be daunting when trying to scroll down to the earliest entries. Might I recommend the "more" tag? Used thusly: Here's some text or a teaser here's the rest of the story. In use, the tag cont…

New Campaign Homepage

I really like the way the front page works out, and I'm constantly intrigued by the different things I see other people doing with it.

City building 101
October 2008
I had a few issues with the Stronghold Builder's Guide, but that's mostly because it is intended for building, well, strongholds. Overall, I've been able to adapt it to my needs, and no doubt anyone else will be able to as well.

Custom Campaign Banners
October 2008
I've got my banners up for "Against the Overwatch":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/overwatch and "A Deadly Affair":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/deadlyaffair Sorry 'bout the lack of linkage, I may correct that later when I'm not a…

ADDED - Collapsing Adventure Logs
October 2008
*Moderator Edit* I hate to edit others' posts, but this is a popular request, and I just want everyone to know that it exists. Until we find a better way of making it obvious, I just hope that others will find this post... To cut off your adv…

Cannot Delete Wiki Pages
October 2008
When you check the delete box, do not save changes. After you check the delete box, another button will pop up below it - the delete button. Click that, and away goes the page.

Space and beyond
October 2008
Almost all of the models for ships in the original Star Wars were created that way - which is why they look relatively rough and have all sorts of strange little details (though the Star Destroyers were made individually).

Customizable Dates in Adventure Log
October 2008
I really like that idea, but I think one of the ideas behind the date on the adventure log was to log the real-world date of the session (that is pretty much what I use it for). Still, I think your idea has some considerable merit. I'd certainly…

Maybe not a bug, unsure
October 2008
What is the first character of the campaign's name? Things are listed fairly alphabetically, but I've seen some odd characters or spaces at the beginning of the name mess with the alphabetical nature of the list.

New Campaign Homepage
October 2008
Either of those options sound grand to me. I personally like the idea of having a separate Home Page not directly taken from the adventure log or the Wiki Main page. I'd probably go with the first, as it will be immediately evident to the user t…

Tips for DM's - DND
August 2008
CrazyDE, you've done a decent job of describing my running style. I pretty much try to set my players up with a goal, and perhaps a suggestion of how to start out, but from there its all them and me reacting to it. They don't feel like they're "on…

"Evil campaigns"
August 2008
Absolutely true. Even Evil has friends. I am very lucky to have such a great group of gamers in real life, and we played a long-lived evil D&D campaign (I actually got to *play* in it!). Our group remained united without any force above us,…

What does it do? Enables the user to quickly navigate from one campaign he's participating in to another. What does it look like? A new box on the sidebar, perhaps below the "Recent Activity" box, containing links to all the campaigns the u…

FIXED - User Ratings - Miscalculation?

The Rating System seems to have bugged again - this time on A Deadly Affair. No big deal, as it doesn't affect usability at all.

Weresharks
July 2008
I find it is rarely an issue to simply borrow generic-sounding names from real-world places. Cities like Capetown and Newport are good examples. Also, if one culture colonised several areas, you can simply name a few of the cities the same thing, …

Superhero
July 2008
It's gonna sound cheesy, but my all time favorite is Superman. I like the conundrums faced by a character whose only real problems are issues of ethics. Superman is possessed of such tremendous power that few other beings can challenge him in …
