As you scroll down the page, the links that overlap with the floating sidebar get blocked. It's as if the sidebar has a shadow on the left hand side of the page and blocks the links as it floats down while you scroll. Make any sense? I noticed the same problem on other campaigns with floating sidebars.

This is from the Blog post - the relevant bit to my question

I am not seeing the CSS block like I would on my own/home campaigns, of course I can edit tags within pages ... but obviously that's only a fraction of what needs to be done to really enact a fix.

I'm trying to edit an adventure log from a few weeks ago, and I can't get the log to do paragraphs. I mean, it seems to work as I'm writing, but when I hit preview or submit, the paragraphs go away and the log ends up as just one long rambling paragraph post. None of my other adventure logs have this issue, before or after the date of the log I'm trying to edit.

This is with either using the enter key or the paragraph button (p.).

A little help?]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/3419/baja-enter-sandman-dungeon-delvers-parallel-universe Tue, 29 Oct 2013 23:48:57 +0000 xxxRocketxxx 3419@/discussions
I had used CSS, and had no clue how I got it to work. I got gold text and a white pad with unusual backgrounds on some of them. One of the backgrounds is ok.

One of the campaigns has had over 70 players, while another has 3. So they range in size, and it sucks to have them messed up. I have been an ascendant member since 2011. There was no communication that this change was coming. I did not get an email or anything. Support said there was some kickstarter that was being updated everyday as if I scour kickstarter for changes to sites I use.]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/3432/aspect-ratio-lock-for-banner-images Fri, 01 Nov 2013 12:42:31 +0000 CraigCoxson 3432@/discussions display: block;
height: 0;
padding-bottom: 42.86%;
overflow: hidden;
}

This sets the Banner to a specific aspect ratio. In my case it is 7:3. The % (which controls the height of the box) is figured as: (W / H) * 100]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/3440/white-page-theme-css-code Sat, 02 Nov 2013 15:20:14 +0000 rpowell138 3440@/discussions The purpose of this is to set OP up as a "white page on background" look instead of the floating text look. Some may like it, some won't. This is pretty simple overall, and may have oddities I've not encountered. Comments and suggestions are more than welcome, just sharing what I've fumbled through (I am no CSS master by any means). :)

The warning: as with all quick and dirty fixes, make sure you know what it will do. In this case, the !important tag overwrites any coding for the background-image entry on every textarea.

As you can see "here":https://ironwatch.obsidianportal.com/wikis/slavnye, my horizontal lines (I use the "" tag) conflict with my index bar, and create a huge page gap that I'm not sure how to get rid of. It would be handy if I could adjust the width of the line, but I'd wager that there's probably a simpler workaround that I'm just not aware of.

Now I want to add these characters to Obsidian Portal, but in such a way that only 1 (or 2 in a few cases) players can see the character. So it's not just a player secret, the whole page/character can only be visible to one player. Other players should not be able to see the name.

Is this possible? If not, any proposed workarounds?]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2992/maps-sizes-after-upload Wed, 01 May 2013 16:58:12 +0000 Zombieboots 2992@/discussions
When I upload my maps they often come out very, very small.

Me and my group are currently trying out the "Free" account option to see if we like the service. I am trying to upload a Map in the Map section, and have ended up deleting and reposting my image several times. The Maps are always scaled so that you can only see them with maximum zoom, any higher and it becomes uselessly small.

I see there is a preferred size limit of 1024x1024 (And preferable square). I've tired these settings, I've tried larger settings (2200x2200 seems to be the max it'll take) and I've tried smaller setting to see if I can get a "larger" map to play with. All uploads end up the exact same size in the Mapviewer. Small.

Any suggestions on how to blow up the size? Otherwise the map section might end up rather useless to us.]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/3168/video-embed-suddenly-undefined Thu, 19 Sep 2013 09:28:58 +0000 pencilneckgeek 3168@/discussions

I put the CSS into the main page CSS, and then put in the HTML, but it did not work, it came up with displaying the HTML on the page.

I started out playing play-by-post RPGs on another site (long before OP even existed). But as an Ascendant member I have a forum for each of my campaigns and now that I have to constantly make money for trivial things such as car insurance and food I find the second game I had planned on starting up has fallen by the wayside.

So I was wondering, has anyone done play-by-post on OP? If so, what advice do you have for someone looking to start up a play-by-post game? Is there even anyone interested in play-by-post on OP?]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2763/werewolf-auld-lang-syne-and-css Fri, 05 Oct 2012 23:31:07 +0000 wolfhound2 2763@/discussions

This is my Obsidian Portal page for a Werewolf the Apocalypse (yay 20th anniversary and kickstarter) campaign titled Auld Lang Syne. It's still listed as "in planning" however on the WIKI is a "link to my stylesheet.":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/auld-lang-syne/wikis/css-stylesheet
(Hopefully I escaped all the proper characters so you can just cut and paste into your own Edit Settings page)

So anyway, I hope it's of use to somebody.

Also... feel free to comment on the campaign itself. I hope to get started playing it soon-ish (side by side with our "Dresden Files Dallas":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/dfd game which is still going strong).]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/3157/plz-help-d-d-4e-encounter-for-dragon-to-advance-story Sun, 01 Sep 2013 09:00:15 +0000 jjhighberger 3157@/discussions
Any Hook/flavor text ideas would be greatly appreciated also as the toughest part of DMing is my story telling.

So far they have defeated a lvl 4 named Goblin Underboss to retrieve what they thought was an 'Orb of Farseeing 3' they were sent for by a church, only to find out it was an 'Orb of Seeing' which they will use to open a secret passage to an underground labyrinth, leading to the actual 'Orb of Farseeing3' by defeating a lvl 6 named Bugbear Strangler and competing a puzzle challenge to obtain the orb (success grants access - failure summons skeletons which after defeating skeletons grants access). The church and other local churches feel that in the wrong hands this Orb of Farseeing 3 could wreak havoc in massively destructive ways. I'm thinking i would like to tie the Dragon somehow into this as a mastermind behind the whole operation.

Thanks all for future input as it is greatly appreciated]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/3154/how-to-add-a-new-game-system-for-my-campaign Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:09:10 +0000 Zut 3154@/discussions
I'm new to Obsidian Portal. I created a new campaign, but the game system I want to use is not listed (HARP). Is there a way to customize the list? Do I need to make a feature request?

Thanks!
