      <description><![CDATA[<p>Does anyone else look at their Google Analytics data? It&#39;s actually a super cool tool. Defenitly helpedkind of organize my main pages to decrease bounce rate/time. And being a data junkie, it&#39;s just neat to see the info! I mean, to be able to see the countries people are viewing from and what pages people go to the most is pretty eye opening as far as the full scope of the OP community.&nbsp;</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<ul>	<li>We went opening night to see <strong>It: Chapter Two</strong> and I was very happy with it. Bill Hader as adult Richie Tozier was spectacular, and the guy who played adult Eddie Kaspbrak&nbsp;was uncannily just like the kid Eddie. Almost eerily similar, but it was great. Bill Skarsgaard was skeery as hell.</li>	<li>I binge-watched <strong>The Boys</strong> on Amazon Prime, and holy CRAP that was good. Very, VERY un-kid-friendly though. Violence, sex, and bad language everywhere, but oh so good.</li>	<li>I&#39;m a few episodes into <strong>Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance</strong> and I&#39;m enjoying it, but it&#39;s moving slow (kinda like the movie did). I&#39;ve heard it picks up about halfway through, so I&#39;ll keep at it.</li>	<li>I also watched the first episode of <strong>Carnival Row</strong>, and that looks like it could be really, REALLY good. I very much enjoyed what I&#39;ve seen so far.&nbsp;</li>	<li>And at the moment I&#39;m watching my Chicago Bears face off against the Washington Redskins on Monday Night Football. Our defense came to <em><strong>play</strong></em>!</li></ul>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Gday All,</p>
<p>Noticed something odd just recently and I can&#39;t work out why it has happened.</p>
<p>I put an Event notice on Calendar and set the time for 7pm. Yet when I go out of the page the Event time shows as 6pm. I go back to edit the event time and sure enough it says 7pm. Go back out and its 6pm.</p>
<p>After some experimentation the reminders going out to my players are showing an hour earlier than I set.</p>
<p>Any ideas why this is and how might I fix it?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any and all help.</p>
<p>Tony.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Hey there OPers.</p>
<p>Looking at the calendar, it occurs to me that I&#39;m coming up on having six months &quot;on the job&quot; as OP&#39;s community and content manager. That being the case, there are a couple of areas I&#39;d like to touch base with you all on. I&#39;d like to see how people feel, what they want, etc. So, I hope you&#39;ll be willing to have a candid discussion, or at least provide some feedback. For ease of reference (and because it&#39;s how I do everything basically), I have numbered these items.</p>
<p>[1] The Help Area</p>
<p>Now that the updated <a rel="nofollow" href="https://help2.obsidianportal.com/portal/kb">Help</a> area has been out for a week or two, I&#39;m hoping that people have at least had a chance to take a gander and formulate an opinion. While obviously it&#39;s still being filled in with entries over time, people can see the format, how it&#39;s shaping up, etc. What I&#39;d like to know is: What do you think of the format for entries? Is there anything else you feel should be added to the FAQ area? What do (or don&#39;t) you like about it? Are there other elements that you&#39;d like to see on here that aren&#39;t there now? (As an aside to this, I haven&#39;t forgotten your question regarding login <a rel="nofollow" href="/profile/Krothos">@Krothos</a>, it&#39;s being looked into).</p>
<p>[2] Blog Content</p>
<p>While I have been doing the blog content since before taking on the job, I&#39;m curious to see if people still feel as though I&#39;m doing it justice now that I&#39;ve also got other pots on the boil. On a personal level, I enjoy doing it, but I also think it would be great to get more and new contributors to write guest articles and the like. Back when I had the blogger&#39;s association going, it was really helpful not to be the sole author. This is even more true now that I also have support tickets, how to&#39;s, social media posting, interfacing with partner entities and so forth (seriously, if you&#39;d like to write a guest article, or be a regular contributor to the blog, please <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.obsidianportal.com/messages/send?message[recipient]=Kallak">let me know</a>, I&#39;ll love you forever).</p>
<p>[3] Communication and Performance</p>
<p>I came into this job hoping to make a difference; to help take the positive trends I was starting to see from the back end and add fuel to that fire until it was a raging inferno. While I wouldn&#39;t say we&#39;re at inferno just yet, I like to think things are better now than before I started (and will continue to improve). But ultimately it&#39;s not my thoughts and feelings that makes this true or false, it&#39;s yours, the community. So, I&#39;d like to hear from you: What am I doing good? What could I be doing better? Is there anything I&#39;m ignoring or not giving enough focus? Am I going overboard anywhere?</p>
<p>[4] Content and What You Want to See</p>
<p>Part of what I do is communicating with the dev side. I forward support tickets to them for things that need to be fixed or looked into, I bring feature ideas (both my own and those that come into the support area), I give the user-side perspective on things being developed or brainstormed. In short, I try to represent your interests and desires for the site as best I can. As someone who has been on OP for quite a while, I generally feel like I&#39;ve got a decent handle on this, but it never hurts to check one&#39;s calibration from time to time.</p>
<p>That said, I&#39;m interested in hearing what you want to see for the site. Content-wise, feature-wise, in general. Even if you end up talking about something that&#39;s already in the works, that&#39;s okay - because it lets me know we&#39;re on the right track.</p>
<p>~~</p>
<p>I hope to hear from you,</p>

      <title>Is There any Hope for Feature Improvements, or is this Campaign Portal Now Just in Maintenance Mode?</title>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>I&#39;m new to Obsidian Portal&nbsp;as an Ascendant member and have to be honest that I often ask myself why I continue doing so. I do like some of the features, but after using it for about 3 months I and my players still find the UI awkward. My biggest beef though is the size and format restrictions on maps. I&#39;m a big fan of campaign mapping and have gotten quite skilled with tools like Campaign Cartographer and Dundjinni. My maps that look very attractive when PDF published or printed out though, look like crap when dpi reduced and resized to fit through the pathetically tight 5MB upload window of OP.</p>
<p>When I subscribed I wasn&#39;t aware of all the negligence and failing service quality that happened about a year ago - honestly wouldn&#39;t have sub&#39;d if I had. From my browsing of the forums, it seems that some subcribers are content with this service running in maintenance mode, just as long as it&#39;s stable. I however want to see it advance to be more on par with what&#39;s being offered by other campaign portals on the Internet.</p>
<p>I personally have experience with business web portals, both from a development and deployment perspective and know that portals can be tricky to design, run and maintain. So I can appreciate the required effort. That said, I still have the impression&nbsp;that this site is running with some feature restrictions that are more reflective of an earlier era when data bandwidth and storage costs were far steeper.</p>
<p>I&#39;d appreciate some honest feedback from anyone in the know, if there&#39;s any hope that such restriction might be alleviated in the future, or is it more likely this site will just continue on in maintenance mode?</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi!<br /><br /><br /><br />I use to be an ascended member about a year ago and was pretty pissed off when development abruptly stopped, bugs were not fixed, and questions went unanswered. I am happy to see that it at least appears to be back, however, I am concerned that this is just going to be another case where I give OP my money and they run with it.&nbsp;<br /><br /><br /><br />My question is, how active are the staff here? How often are bugs addressed/questions answered? Are there updates planned to continuously make this site better?</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>We have created a new campaign, The Irregulars!&nbsp; We have moved to Savage Rifts, and I have rejoined OP as an Ascendant member again- purely do to Kallak&#39;s efforts!</p>
<p>This site will be our logs from our campaign- we do not anticipate doing a big wiki- let&#39;s face it, Rebuilt broke the site due to its size, and we don&#39;t want to do that much work again.</p>
<p>Speaking of A God...Rebuilt, I am still obsessively tweaking it, and it is only 5 fans from 400!&nbsp; For those new here, I put all the CSS used to make it on one page, which you can find <a rel="nofollow" href="https://a-god-rebuilt.obsidianportal.com/wikis/css">here</a></p>
<p>It feels good to be back!</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>We saw it Saturday and were very happy with that movie. I&#39;m really glad to see DC stopped doing&nbsp;the everything-must-be-dark-and-gloomy thing and finally gave us a fun, laugh-filled superhero movie.</p>
<p>I&#39;m putting this squarely in my Top Four DC Movies, alongside Wonder Woman, The Dark Knight, and the original 1978 Superman. Definitely better than Justice League, and a bit more fun (for me) than Aquaman.</p>
<p>Anybody else have thoughts?</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>It has been a few years since we last visited <a rel="nofollow" href="https://star-trek-late-night.obsidianportal.com/"><strong>Star Trek Late Night</strong></a>. The last time we ran in the Star Trek Universe, OP was kind enough to give us a campaign of the month. So we have returned to the campaign. Taking inspiration from the Star Trek Online Universe, we have initiated a quantum shift and are bringing in a new crew, new ship, and a series of new stories that will be as exciting as any we ran in the past.<br /><br /><br /><br />For those that remember the old campaign, Crazy eight was the only major character to survive the dramatic ending. The story left off with her taking a Wells Class Timeship and going back in time to change things. Now we have a new timeline to explore. Go look at the timeline in the wiki to see the changes. Red is old stuff that was changed, blue is the new. Black is the unchanged sections.<br /><br /><br /><br />The new story picks up in 2409 and follows a Starfleet crew. It shall be an adult story that NSFW so be aware that the ship logs may contain rated R material. I hope that you will take the time to check out our campaign and follow us into the adventure of a lifetime.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>I&#39;m feeling really good with where my campaign pages are at. I&#39;ve been working really hard to keep them interesting and attractive. But I still feel like it could be a little more engaging. What do you guys do with your pages that you think really keeps the players coming back and checking it?</p>
