in A Totally Unofficial Help & Tips FAQ February 2010 edited February 2010

Sorry about that, the wiki system apparently refuses to show that code properly, no matter what I do, and the new forum does as well, although in a different way. I've updated the FAQ entry with instructions that should be more helpful though.

in D&D 3.5 Character Sheet February 2010 edited February 2010

Oh! You're talking about the thread itself. I thought you were talking about trying to use the template on your wiki. When the forum system changed, support for the HTML _pre_ tag changed significantly, and it looks like that's what's gone wrong he…

If you can post a link to an example of it not working, and describe what specifically is going wrong one of us may be able to help you.

in Help adjusting text size in Textile tables January 2010

Unfortunately, I don't think there's any really good way to solve this at the moment. I suspect the issue is that the site's global CSS applies a specific font size to all table cells, rather than letting the setting trickle down through the HTML st…

in Asking for help; offering advice January 2010

You can upload a banner for your campaign on the Campaign Settings page. Look on the right of your campaign web page, for a link called Edit Settings.

in Global CSS, Please January 2010

I had a similar thought last night at dinner, and totally forgot about it before getting back to the computer. That approach would absolutely limit the styles to the user submitted content, and it's nicely elegant as well. It wouldn't even require s…

in Global CSS, Please January 2010

Subscribing just removes the adds for you, not from your campaigns, so some kind of protection would be required. Besides the adds though, there are some arguments to be made for protecting the general sight layout and such, not so much to prevent a…

in Global CSS, Please January 2010

What you're describing amounts to the same results that could be achieved with filtering, only with a more cumbersome interface. You're just filtering out the pseudo selectors by preventing the user from ever inputting them. You could achieve the sa…

in Guest Blogger Articles: Musical Lairs: Using music and sound in your campaign January 2010

Perhaps my appreciation for the finer points is less developed than it might be, but I honestly never noticed that. I notice it now, going back and listening again, but up to this point I'd just taken it to be part of the sound they were going for. …

in Guest Blogger Articles: Musical Lairs: Using music and sound in your campaign January 2010 edited January 2010

We play at a local game shop, so I don't get to roll out the tunes for my game, although I often wish I could. When I do get to use music for a game, I like something simple - ideally, something I can just throw in a CD player and let run on random …

Just for kicks, I've just added the links from this FAQ to the "Google Side Wiki":http://www.google.com/sidewiki/intl/en/index.html for the Help & Tips forum page. Not sure if that will be useful, but thought I'd mention it. The whole Side Wiki …

Worse comes to worst, you could always just change the address in the main site's link to "http://forums.obsidianportal.com/categories.php" for the same effect. Also, I posted a few bugs I've noticed with the new system in a separate "bugs thread…

in The New Forum December 2009

The new forum looks good. If I may offer a suggestion however, I think it might be better if the main forum link took you to the Categories tab view rather than the Discussions tab view. The discussion tab offers a somewhat overwhelming mix of infor…

in Revised Maps Feature December 2009

I was just answering another user's questions about the map feature on here when it occurred to me that for regular users, the google maps functionality is rendered pretty much pointless by the way things are currently set up. Let me break the issue…

in Maps get their aspect ratio changed December 2009 edited December 2009

As described on the map submission screen, your map should be square to avoid distortion. The background color of the map viewer is E6E2DF, if you want to pad it out to squareness seamlessly, rather than cropping it down. It would be cool if it padd…

in Question about map zoom December 2009

The two most zoomed in levels are automatically available on maps created by Ascendant members. I would guess that the map of Krynn on the page linked above was created before he upgraded his membership.

in How do I do this? December 2009

Glancing back at the example you linked in the first post, the picture in question is actually the campaign's banner image. You can set that up in the settings for your campaign, simply by uploading it. No code required. Gnunn's instructions will le…

in Pre Tags In Forum Posts December 2009

*Edit Note:* Further investigation while editing the examples in this post has revealed that in some cases, this is actually being handled correctly. It would appear that the text within a _pre_ tag is only parsed as code when a blank line is left b…

in How do I do this? December 2009

Most of what I see there is basic stuff you can do with Textile (or with HTML, if you prefer). The most complicated thing on there is getting the player names to hang out on the right, but that's easy enough as well with a little HTML and CSS: …

Thanks. Was looking for a management screen of some kind, and didn't expect it there, all low profile like.
