in 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…

in Reaching out for input, feedback, thoughts, etc.. September 2018

I also agree about defaulting Textile over CkEditor.

in The "Review my Campaign" thread September 2018

I'm gonna bump this thread again, mostly because there are a few campaigns out there that I'd really like to suggest some constructive critiques for but I don't want to be that intrusive, snooty douchebag. ;) If you're interested in feedback from th…

in A lot of Wiki questions September 2018

I highly, highly recommend switching over to Textile rather than CkEditor. Textile works brilliantly and is very user-friendly. CkEditor... not so much.

in Update #20 - All quiet on the western front August 2018

Oh yeah, I'm always excited to see a new update. I love what you've done with the place, Kallak, and I hope you stick around 'cuz you're doing a great job as community manager. :-)

in Can i print my stuff? August 2018

Yes, you could print individual web pages, but Obsidian Portal's wiki isn't designed to be a printable document. You could copy/paste the information, but that's about all. It sounds like you're wanting it to do something it wasn't designed to do.

in Can't Seem to Paste to the Adventure Log August 2018

@RosietheRoo, changing the editor from CkEditor to Textile should solve most of your problems. CkEditor is VERY not-user-friendly, but the Textile editor actually works very well. Like Kallak said above, that should help tremendously. Go to Setting…

in Probably a simple problem August 2018

Obsidian Portal doesn't allow scripts of any kind. The word "script" will cause the whole thing to fail - it even goes so far as to screw things up when people use the word "description" because of that rule. There are others who can explain it bet…

@alex_redeye, what booth #? I'll be sure to stop by! Myself, I'll be demoing at booth #3057 (Fallen Dominon Studios, Fallen Land board game) off-and-on throughout the con.

in A Simple Character Sheet For Non-Coders July 2018

Hey @weasel0, you may already know this but you can use |\14.| instead of ||||||||||||||| and save yourself some headaches.

in A Simple Character Sheet For Non-Coders June 2018

Then I must be very much in need of a shower, because I use | a LOT in my campaign. ;-) Yeah, Textile tables are pretty versatile once you get the hang of them.

in Everything is underlined? June 2018

For my own use, I found it easiest to just put a space between the + and the number. Problem solved, no CSS needed.

I'm also going to nominate Chad_Johnson_0 and Aorthe: A Plague of Onces.

in GM Advice? June 2018

I will forever sing the praises of Happy Jack's RPG Podcast. That crew has been slinging excellent gaming advice (and much hilarity) for almost ten years now, and they are specifically the reason why I am now no longer the crappy GM I once was. With…

Your file storage will also be downgraded to the lower size. Nothing will be deleted if you're over that limit, but you won't be able to store any additional files.

Outstanding!

Bumping this thread for better visibility, since Campaign of the Month is back. And Bort, I'm loving the new campaign look!

in Obsidian Portal + Roll20 = Critical Hit June 2018

So what kind of integration are you talking about? I'm not sure I see what the value would be.

in Link to map location from Character page May 2018

You can link to the map itself, but I don't think there is any way to link directly to a specific marker on that map.

in The first step is to admit you have a problem... May 2018

Unfortunately (for me), the PCs are high enough level now that the cleric was able to dispel the effect on herself. The wizard had left the antidote sitting on his desk, and she was able to help everyone else get to the antidote quickly (effectively…
