Thanks for the update. Any chance updates to the Twitter feed could also happen here simultaneously? Some of us avoid social media because it is just too much of a time sink otherwise.

in Having Link Issues May 2015 edited May 2015

I have found that having odd characters, like colons, apostrophes, and so on, cause weirdness in linking. Try recreating the page without the semicolon and see if the link works for you then. Note, you can have all kinds of odd characters in the…

in Can someone tell me how to pay for Ascendant Membership May 2015

If you initially obtained your Ascendent status through the kickstarter (like me), then it won't be "automagical". You will need to go to the "My Ascendent Membership" to renew and provide the info to renew, but if I recall correctly, I couldn't se…

Additional customization of the navigation menu would definitely help campaigns that create their own custom navigation. My current campaign is one example; it also means that any changes to the custom navigation system somewhat occurs in CSS but f…

in Issues with Firefox? April 2015

No problems here. Is there a particular page that it tends to happen on?

Just my opinion, but I feel that this should be stickied. Far too useful to let it get lost to time. Thanks Chainsaw for doing the tutorial. I'm going to need to practice this a bit to get it right too.

I'm with Keryth. While there are definitely positive signs, I will wait to get excited until it becomes more obvious what the impacts of the change are to the customers. I have been on both sides of similar acquisitions (employee and customer), an…

Reposting my comment on the blog: Following the Kaleidoscope link ("http://kaleidoscopeglobal.com/":http://kaleidoscopeglobal.com/) doesn’t tell me much about the company, other than it is a collection of entrepreneurs. Their homepage is just a p…

I completely agree with the beta testing issue. What boggles me is that for a small dev team, beta testing is crucial because it is essentially FREE labor to help improve quality assurance. Requiring backers to pay exorbitant amounts for the privi…

Great piece of CSS code, Bort, thanks!

in How to create a timeline for your setting? March 2015

Hi Seathone, I found while working on my front landing page that transitions all do weird processes because they do some fast-pace aspect and then slow down and do the last bit. The way around this odd by-design behavior is to add the "linear" p…

in How to create a timeline for your setting? March 2015

Just a style recommendation, but I would nest the whole timeline in a container div with a height that encompasses all the max-heights plus the difference of the largest box that you get from the entries. This way the parchment remains static and d…

Hi Ikabodo, I don't even use the map service of OP, I host them as images on Photobucket and run them as backgrounds on divs. Sure, this means that I have to manage my own map pointers, but it also gives me more flexibility in stuff that I can d…

Very nice and quite handy, thank you.

in How to create a timeline for your setting? February 2015 edited February 2015

Wow, timing is everything. I haven't looked at the forums for several days and yet randomly I look at this one and BAM, it seems that I am needed. So the real CSS thing is to use the :hover behind the class name in CSS. .BasicBox { max-heigh…

That's definitely a sign of giving up and waiting to pass the buck to the next prospective owner. I just hope they care more about their customers and community than those who financially benefited from the kickstarter campaign.

in Obsidian Portal Launch Feedback February 2015

Yes, we still have it. The bug Killervp is referring to is for pages old enough to predate the reforge. It's not a powerful archive system, but the rollback feature is still a big deal. I'm not sure that they will care enough to deal with archi…

in Obsidian Portal Launch Feedback February 2015

Hey Killervp, You may want to update your ticket to clarify one thing. Are you referring to an old page or an old version of an existing page? Each is an issue, I agree, but clarifying which it is should help whoever attempts to track down the …

Sorry, but their promises are no longer credible. Sure, there was a statement made outside of the community forums on their own product, but it a) made vague statements that things were going on with absolutely no information as to what that referr…

Here is a link to "my CSS,":https://gurpsspace.obsidianportal.com/wikis/css if it helps (I also can't see your campaign site). I use a transparent background to the sections, allowing them to see through to the starry background set for the campa…

Just thought I would share this. After a 15+ year career in the computer industry, I have gone back to school for a business management degree. As I am reading material for the week, talking heavily about customer service, OP is ringing clearly …

in Searching for a campaign off the main page - have I missed something? January 2015

What about those of us who choose to avoid social media altogether? What would you recommend? I have considered commenting on their personal campaigns, but I don't want to negatively impact their whole gaming group because of their irresponsibilit…

No offense Travis, as your comment is appreciated, but KillerVP is right. Micah and Jerry should have stepped up MUCH sooner to communicate. I understand that they have jobs and such, but they also made commitments for financial gain (kickstarter)…

Hey Bondoid, I just sent you an invite to my test campaign (where I test questionable CSS prior to getting it sorted out). Once you accept, I'll go ahead and promote you to co-GM. Tom a.k.a. Belrathius "Experiments In Space":https://gurpsspace.…

Hi KillerVP, Thanks for the comment. I didn't even consider removing the terms of service thing, but you're right, it's much better now without it. Tom a.k.a. Belrathius

in Adding the Tag Library to the Sidebar November 2013

I would appreciate this as well; I already have a custom navbar that requires HTML addition to each page, so adding the tag section through HTML is acceptable (since CSS doesn't allow for adding content).
