Secret Accordions don't work?
August 2019
@Kallak helped me out with this. I'd overlooked the fact that accordions aren't a selectable option in the GM+ Player Secret section of the wiki.

The first step is to admit you have a problem...
August 2019
Man, I have really let this lag. We're already 30 sessions in, and things have taken a turn for the strange! Highlights of the latest episode: ANOTHER urchin in trouble... wait, it's the same one!? A performance review! BY A PANEL!! A face to …

Question about media library
August 2019
When you create a New Folder in your Media Library, there's a checkbox for "GM Only." That'll keep 'em out. :)

Flavorful NPCs
August 2019
For each recurring NPC in my campaign, at the beginning of the GM-Only section I have a little note to remind me which actor or familiar character to base them on. Charlie Sheen, Ewan MacGregor, Sandra Bernhard, Galadriel, Steve Irwin, Marge Gunder…

How do I join a campaign?
August 2019
Hola @pkmnpla, and welcome to Obsidian Portal! All of the campaigns on this site are created by their Game Masters, but you can't join one of these campaigns unless you are invited by one of those GMs. (For example, I don't have room for any more pl…

Commas in Wiki Names; Causes them to not Display Correctly when Linked on the Main Wiki Page.

Are you typing this out in Textile or in HTML?

Non-Alphanumeric characters in wiki titles
July 2019
edited July 2019
You can absolutely have punctuation in your wiki titles. I just tested [[Rule 1,000]] and [[I Think, Therefore I Am]] and the Textile links work perfectly. Are you talking about typing it out via HTML?

Commas in Wiki Names; Causes them to not Display Correctly when Linked on the Main Wiki Page.
July 2019
edited July 2019
Actually I just tested linking using Textile and it worked perfectly with the comma included. [[Rule 1,000]] works as written. So does [[I Think, Therefore I Am]].

10 Campaign maps???
July 2019
You're limited to 10 zoomable/pin-marked maps per campaign, not per user account. And you can have as many wiki page maps as you want.

Curse you, Photobucket!!
July 2019
I gave in and paid the $5 ransom fee, because I have images saved there that I wasn't able to access without the watermark. But now it turns out that even with a paid subscription I can't seem to get to my own damn images. I'm canceling, deleting my…

Nominate COTM Here!
June 2019
Let's get a couple more new additions to the Campaign of the Month nominees. The Cold Truce by @conan_lybarian Into the Gathering Dark by @Pytheas These are both certainly worthy, in my opinion. :)

Using table puts weird "thead" text in my page
June 2019
I strongly recommend that you switch from the CkEditor to the Textile editor. Go to Settings -> Advanced and change the Markup Parser there to Textile (redcloth 4). This should significantly improve your results. :)

I broke my banner!

Yeah, it's definitely specific to that PC. Now that I'm home, everything is peachy.

I broke my banner!
May 2019
And it's not just my Ptolus campaign. Now I can no longer view ANY campaign's banner. This is a little disconcerting.

I broke my banner!
May 2019
Okay, this is WEIRD. My banner IS there, but for some bizarre reason I can't view it on my work PC. I tried it in Chrome, IE, and Edge and it's just not there. But if viewed from a different device, the banner is right there. I tried clearing my cac…

Sugestion - Plot outlining
May 2019
You can do almost all of these things now, except the mindmap piece (if we're thinking of the same thing). To me, a mindmap would be a page where you can drag and drop stuff anywhere onto the page. If that's what you're referring to, there's already…

I broke my banner!
May 2019
It's still wonky for me. I even cleared my cache and tried viewing it in Internet Explorer, but it's just not there. I've tried saving it as both a JPG and a PNG. I tried KillerVP's suggestion and deleted the banner, then re-uploaded. None of these…

Feature: As a GM, I would love a way to view my campaign as a player
May 2019
Most of my player-viewable content is also publicly viewable, so just logging out and viewing as a guest gives me most of the answers I have when I need to take a look at something like this. Granted, that's just what works for me. Your mileage may …

Is there a way to sort Adventure Logs in different ways?
May 2019
I'd also love to see something like that, but I don't know how difficult it'd be to implement. Currently I have navigation buttons on every adventure log page, and I update these every time I add a new log entry. (It's a bit of a pain, but with copy…

Nominate COTM Here!
May 2019
I'd like to make a couple of nominations for Campaign of the Month. Gamma Rifts is a great mash-up of Gamma World and Rifts. Birthright: Cities of the Sun is a beautifully-done Birthright campaign.

Favorite House Rule?

@twiggyleaf The GM should have let Danaerys Targaryen have one of these attacks last week. ;)

Open link wiht new tab
April 2019
My coworker/buddy knows a lot more HTML than me, and he just talked me through how to set it up. It didn't work, but it should have. It appears that OP has this disabled? Adding target="_blank" should work, but doesn't.

Open link wiht new tab
April 2019
I always just center-click (click down on your mouse's scroll wheel) to open any link in a new tab. Easy-peasy.
