in Quick formatting question. April 2010

There is now a "gallery":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/sanction/wikis/templates-and-tools#news_screens of five female and five male anchors to use, some from your list, some more that I scavenged up. A few from your list were too low resolu…

I figured that might be an issue, considering I just grabbed the first reasonably good looking news anchor photos I found on Google image search. I can do some more faces for you - they only take a couple minutes to do - just send me links to photos…

in Quick formatting question. April 2010

The idea of doing a modern style alternative to my scroll template - a TV screen with a news anchor kind of thing - totally grabbed my brain, and I couldn't resist trying it out. Is "this":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/sanction/wikis/templa…

Gnunn's way is definitely simpler. I tend to default to HTML because its familiar to me, and saves me having to sift the Textile documentation. :p

Glad to help. I won't make any promises, but I'm often able to lend a hand where needed, so feel free to hit me with requests or questions whenever.

You'll need to use some in-line CSS to get tables with borders. You should find "this FAQ entry":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/sanction/wikis/tips-tricks#11 helpful. If you need further guidance though, just holler.

Thanks Sandman! I added a link to this in the FAQ.

For what it's worth, the difference between using a GIF or using a PNG for this is in the way they handle transparency. GIFs use what's called one-bit alpha - each pixel of the image is either fully opaque, or fully transparent - which often produce…

in Google Chrome and image problems. March 2010

I don't have Chrome on hand to test it, but my first guess is that it uses different default Margin and/or Padding values for the HTML _img_ tag (which is what the Textile above ultimately produces), or the _p_ tag. You can probably fix this by usin…

in Pathfinder RPG Character Sheet March 2010

You _can_ just use HTML instead of Textile in your wiki page, for what it's worth. Really though, we just need the tags to work on the forums like they used to, and all these damaged posts would repair themselves - having looked under the hood of a…

in Pathfinder RPG Character Sheet March 2010

I'm guessing something is fouled up from the forum conversion here, since this is an older post. Unfortunately, since this uses mostly Textile formatting I'm not sure what might be going wrong. In any case, it's probably not anything you're doing. T…

Note that (as seen in the other thread mentioned above), you'll have some issues just pasting the code above into your wiki pages, due to the way the forums format text. When you set up your map, just make sure you replace the "smart quotes" in the …

Added this to the Templates section of the FAQ, by the way. Thanks guys!

Nice move with the linkable map image (both of you). I think I'm going to take that idea for a spin with my world map as well, and that's saying something considering the game I was running has actually concluded. Heh.

in 4E Magic Item Record Sheet March 2010

Scratch that thought - I found the problem, and it will actually effect Gnunn's code posted above just like mine. The forum has converted the quotation marks in the code into "smart quotes" (the in- and outward angled quotes automatically produced b…

Smart call on the widths there, I hadn't considered that. As for the positioning, what browser are you in, out of curiosity? I tested the code I posted in IE8 and FF3, and it works like a charm. Is it possible you left out the explicit _position:rel…

You should be able to do this much more cleanly in fact, with a setup like this: HEAD NECK ARMOR IMPLEMENT WAIST ARMS HANDS LEFT RING RIGHT RING FEET

in Help with ChainsawXIV's WotC Style Table Template March 2010

Updated the code file (copied it to my host, just so folks wouldn't have to click through the multiple steps at Mediafire), and added a link to your wiki page where it's used. Thanks again!

in Help with ChainsawXIV's WotC Style Table Template March 2010

Thanks Sandman. I added a link to the weapons table code to my template page. For what it's worth, the content area in the wiki is 730px wide, and the table template uses a little bit of space for visual reasons. Thus, the columns in the table sh…

Nice Sandman! I'm glad these guys were able to help you out (I was out of town at a conference all week, or I'd have chimed in sooner). I'm glad to see someone getting use out of that particular template. I know it's one of the more annoyingly compl…

in Printable Version March 2010 edited March 2010

The site already uses a print media style sheet to accomplish this to a degree. A print media style sheet defines different display parameters for the page when it's seen in print than when it's shown on screen. If you print out or print preview a p…

I joined up over at the Cartographer's Guild a couple of weeks back as well. I haven't done any "map work":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/sanction/maps/show/2859 in a while, but next time I do I'll definitely have to post over there for some…

I've only done one order, but if memory serves it arrived in under a week. There are various shipping options of course.

If you like poster size maps - especially for battle fields you'll use more than once - you can actually get them printed quite inexpensively by "Costco":http://www.costco.com/PhotoCenter/PhotoCenter.aspx?cat=2781&cm_re=1_en-_-Top_Right_Nav2-_-T…

in Self Sorting Tables February 2010

For what it's worth, since the forum view for campaigns ("example":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/sanction/forum) is set up in a table with a table header row, this would also make it possible to sort the forums by the various columns, whic…

in Request editable character sheets February 2010

This kind of thing would be great, and in fact that's the inspiration behind tools like "the one I made":http://omnichron.net/external/op/tools/csm.html for 4th Ed, but creating a fill in the blanks, code driven sheet for a system takes a fare amoun…

in A Totally Unofficial Help & Tips FAQ February 2010

See the edit above. The example I posted there originally got mangled by the forum system, and won't work. I didn't expect you to get here and try it before I could make the correction. :p
