Is there a way to wrap text around or beside images?
April 2019
The easiest way to wrap text with an image is to align:right the image when you insert it in the page. It looks like this. You can also do magical things with CSS, but I'm not good enough with that to know how to do this. (Thankfully, we've got a LO…

Keeping them engaged
March 2019
We just had a discussion about this at my table last week. We've been using Hero Points to good success, but the campaign has been running so long that all the players now have a big stack of hero points each session. They have so many, they don't f…

Reassign GM?

Yes, he can go to the Settings tab and promote you to Co-GM.

"Private" Player Character Records?
March 2019
If you choose to upgrade to an Ascendant account here on Obsidian Portal, you can share secrets on each page with individual players. This added capability is specifically what convinced me to become Ascendant a few years back, and I haven't ever re…

Embed media in site-wide frame
February 2019
That'd be a pretty significant cause for me to not visit your campaign site for more than a couple seconds. There's a reason why MySpace collapsed. I'm not saying it's because of the compulsory music on everyone's pages... but I'm also not NOT sayi…

Page History and non-GM Editing
February 2019
Requests for GM-only-editing have been bandied about since the first days of Obsidian Portal. To be entirely honest, I don't know of a single instance where a GM's fears of players sabotaging the wiki have actually happened. (Granted, I myself haven…

How can things go faster?
February 2019
This delay isn't normal, actually. I know they're working to fix some related problems behind the scenes, so this new symptom is very likely tied to that process.

Question About Public Campaign
February 2019
Yup, @ragnarhawk said exactly what I was going to suggest. Move your sensitive info to the players-only section of the wiki page. It works fantastic for us. (I shudder to think what would happen if everything I've got tucked into our players-only s…

Internal Error 500 after 50% of Edits
February 2019
Yeah, I've also been experiencing it for the last few days. It's been annoying enough today that I was gonna put in a ticket, but it looks like I'm just hopping on the bandwagon for a ride around the meadow at this point. :)

The "All Campaigns" page: Change the default?
February 2019
I completely concur that the Most Popular filter (which already exists as a selectable option) should stay, but shouldn't be the default. And SkidAce, I know your particular set of skills involves getting people to become fans of your campaign. Emai…

The "Review my Campaign" thread
January 2019
@Pytheas, I honestly can't come up with anything to significantly critique. You've got an excellent campaign site, and the only thing I can possibly suggest is to add a few more images to break up large blocks of text. You did that to great effect i…

Wow, I completely skipped Session 23. It was an interesting one, with several challenging rooftop battles and some big-time drama between party members! And then there was Session 24: So Much Chaos! Highlights include: Minotaurs in the walls! The…

Heya @conan_lybarian, you've got three good-looking campaign sites there! I do have a couple of constructive criticisms that would make them even better, I think: The Cold Truce: This campaign looks really good, but I noticed that it's hard to spot …

You're off to a good start, @DruidicFireball! Looking through your wiki, I wanted to ask - are you using Textile or CkEditor in your campaign? I'm seeing a few places in the Town of Phandelin page where you put for underlining, but in Textile you c…

Spaces Breaking Wiki Links
November 2018
Actually my recommendation (and that of most veteran users around here) would be to switch from the CkEditor to the Textile editor. CkEditor is still pretty wonky and doesn't behave the way it should, but Textile is very solid. It should make most (…

CKEditor not activating AND columns not working in Textile
September 2018
I agree with SkidAce. Textile is much more user-friendly (and far less buggy), and is the preferred editor of the OP community. As for your tables, make sure there are no spaces between rows and no spaces at the end of each row. Either of these will…
