in Minor character page suggestions May 2011

+1 to hoptown's idea. Although I'm not sure how much good making feature requests here is as compared to using the Help system.

in New Feature: Player Secrets May 2011

I take it back. There's one semi-major thing still wrong with the Player Secret function. When you click "Add Player Secret," nothing happens. Nothing visible anyway; the new player secret is added below the GM Only area, which is expanded by defaul…

in New Feature: Player Secrets May 2011 edited May 2011

The Player Secrets still say "Note: These player secrets are a new and in-progress feature. They may change significantly in the near future, and they are a litte unstable, so please be patient. We would love some feedback..." so here I am. First…

in A Totally Unofficial Help & Tips FAQ May 2011

Oh. No, I was using the link on the main Forum page, which takes me to the latest post. Well, that's unhelpful for an FAQ... :)

in A Totally Unofficial Help & Tips FAQ May 2011

Why does the link to this thread always take me to Item 38?

in Propose New Date/Time on the Calendar May 2011

Would a Polls feature work just as well for this? Or perhaps a general availability calendar?

in Tabs and Indents May 2011

Ah. I figured it out. You have to have carriage returns before and after the code.
Calion
in Tabs and Indents May 2011

Er...how do you make that code show up on a wiki page?
Calion
in Tabs and Indents May 2011

Ah. Thanks.

in How to request a feature May 2011

gryphon410: I've recently requested that feature more formally. You may wish to "add your vote":http://help.obsidianportal.com/discussions/suggestions/86-dm-only-maps.

in Marketplace May 2011

Micah has *not* signed off on this. I've done this purely on my own initiative. I don't see anything whatsoever wrong with having a thread devoted to this issue, but you're on your own on the decision to sticky it.

in A Forum Thread for Alternate Services for OP Fans? May 2011

And mrlich, DungeonMasterLoki: Please get a jump on this by starting a forum thread here so we can see your wares. You know what, I'll do it myself. "Done":http://forums.obsidianportal.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=1922.

in A Forum Thread for Alternate Services for OP Fans? May 2011

I propose we use something like the method suggested by "Douglas Adams":http://www.douglasadams.com/dna/980707-05-a.html: Put an "Ads" or "Marketplace" link somewhere, and have all the ads, blurbs and banners under that. That way the people that are…

Hey mrlich, if you're going to plug yourself, include a link. I'm curious.

in Wiki Page Name Issues May 2011

Oookay. I figured it out. The problem was case-sensitivity. I didn't realize that page names were case-sensitive, since the URL is in all lower case (odd, that; on Wikipedia, you can always tell the page name from the URL). So the first link was in …
Calion
in Wiki Page Name Issues May 2011

Aack! The Help link started working! I replaced the first one with a URL, and the second one turned blue! How odd!
Calion
in Wiki Page Name Issues May 2011

Yeah, for now I've just given up and named the page "Background benefits":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/sydarksun/wikis/background-benefits. And maybe that's fine; apparently here we're supposed to categorize with tags instead of directorie…
Calion
in Wiki Page Name Issues May 2011

Okay, thanks, arsheesh. I'd also like to know how it _is_ possible to link to such pages. I get that a colon won't work, but by the URL, I would expect that [[house rules background benefits]] would work. It doesn't. What gives?

in Anyone interested in writing tutorials / help guides? May 2011

Well, yes. But the topic is still salient. I realize the FAQ thread has useful stuff, but it's fairly hard to find for newbies, and the quality is here and there. I think official help and tutorials would be very useful.
Calion
in Using the wiki to help schedule game nights May 2011

I think a Polls feature would be a better solution to this and similar problems. Polls are probably the sole reason I'm not abandoning my "Yahoo Group":http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sydarksun in the move to OP.
Calion
in Anyone interested in writing tutorials / help guides? May 2011

Okay, this is from three years ago, but I haven't seen these tutorials in place. Is this still in progress? Perhaps if I find the time I'll just write up a tutorial or two and post the link in the Forums. If you love it, you can move the link to the…

in What the Foxtrot! May 2011

"I have an easier time answering emails than following the forum threads." That's good to know... :)
Calion
in Changing a Wiki Page Name May 2011

But a Move function would automatically update all the links. This would be a _really_ nice feature.
Calion
in Another way to use the wiki May 2011

Aw, dude, that is so cool! I may do a mini-adventure like this as an introduction to the campaign for visitors. How awesome!

in Question about map zoom May 2011

Er...I believe that the five levels of zoom are a feature that has been redacted, even for Ascendant members. I assume what you've seen are maps that were created before the change. Somewhere--on a blog post I believe--Micah goes into great length a…

in Player viewable only character sheets? May 2011

+1. I have a character whose class is a secret, so he's been reduced to putting ? in the "class" section of his sheet (if certain other characters found out what his class was, there would be big trouble--in fact he's already killed one PC who found…
Calion
in Multiple GMs May 2011

Implemented.
Calion
in Multiple GMs for one campaign? May 2011

Implemented! Perhaps Implemented feature requests should be removed or removed to somewhere else? There's a lot of threads to wade through to make sure that I'm not requesting something that's already got its own thread.
Calion
in GM only section on characters. May 2011

Just wanted to note that this has been implemented! Hooray!
Calion
in Maps get their aspect ratio changed April 2011

Yeah, I hate to say this, but for the Map feature to be useful to me, I really need to be able to zoom in pretty closely on my map. I suppose I can chop my map up into pieces and upload them separately...
