in Remove Default OP Banner February 2016

I do this a slightly different way. If you like the way the banner looks "here":https://clarity.obsidianportal.com/ or "here":https://sotfa.obsidianportal.com/ or "here":https://mx.obsidianportal.com/, try this: bc. /* Auto-scale the image to its…

in A Totally Unofficial CSS Help & Tips FAQ February 2016

I recently helped a user in a ticket out with his request to CSS the navigation block into a horizontal bar across the top of the wiki. KillerVP rightly suggested others might find it useful, so here's a "chunk of CSS":http://omnichron.net/external/…

in Paste while Edit causes crash with Chrome? February 2016

You get the error when you save the page with the changes, or when you actually paste it? Also, where are you pasting it in from? (Suffice to say, I have not been having this issue, so there's got to be a finer patter to it.)

in The Wiki Edit Page Hangup Issue (And Rant About How OP Is Handling It) February 2016 edited February 2016

I'm virtually certain that campaign data is stored a database, not in loose files. That's standard operating procedure for online content, and consistent with the data in campaign backups and the file at the root of this issue. In that case, copying…

in The Wiki Edit Page Hangup Issue (And Rant About How OP Is Handling It) February 2016

In OP's defense, the reason I was able to diagnose this as quickly as I did is because I'm a technical expert (which, let me tell you, feels really strange to say about myself). I could probably construct some elaborate analogy about service manager…

in OP site update (Feb 2016) February 2016

I talked with Andrew about the content summary issue you're having last night, and he logged it as a task for the engineers to work on. I wouldn't expect it to be an instant fix though - got to allow time for the team to finish current tasks, invest…

in DST Adoption Drive February 2016

Righ, so, deleting the SWSE... hang on now... :p The process for this will be more or less like so: # A user volunteers to adopt an existing DST. # I PM the current author to discuss it with them. # If they agree, or don't respond, adoption …

in DST Adoption Drive February 2016 edited February 2016

I'm working on an FAQ and updated documentation that should answer all those questions and more, and may well come in here and clean this up when that's ready... but in the mean time: DST stands for dynamic sheet template. They're the design temp…

In the mean time, if you open your browser's error console (Ctrl+Shift+K in "FireFox":https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Web_Console/Opening_the_Web_Console, or simply F12 in Chrome), you can watch for the error message shown above. When…

in The Wiki Edit Page Hangup Issue (And Rant About How OP Is Handling It) February 2016

After a little digging, here's the skinny as near as I can tell. When you go to edit a wiki page, the script that handles the buttons on the right for making links and inserting images and things calls up the server and asks for a file called con…

in Including Description section in Dynamic Character Sheets February 2016

My pleasure. Hopefully you're working off the Solar one with the 2.0 version of all the tech, heh. With the tech upgrades coming up, I'll finally be able to upgrade all the others too, but I haven't yet.

Consistency is fantastic for figuring out stuff like this (as much as it sucks for you at the moment). The worst is trying to reproduce an issue that happens one time in a thousand. I'll poke at this tonight and see if I can work out what's going on.

in Including Description section in Dynamic Character Sheets February 2016

The description section from the default character page isn't supported.

This kind of problem is especially hard to debug, and it sounds like they're going systematically through all the things it could be that they actually control. My guess, though, based on the specific things they're asking about at this point, is th…

Actually, your data is processed 100% on your own machine, and never sent anywhere. The browser is just a really convenient UI framework for this one. Behold, the power of JavaScript! :D

Glad you guys like it. Let me know if there's anything you want it to do that it doesn't. And there's nothing to download, for what it's worth, Keryth. It uses javascript to do it all right in your browser.

in Hero Lab/PCGen Character Sheets February 2016

Probably the easiest way to do this (which would still be quite a lot of work) would be to design a DST with an import option built in. You've have to create the sheet itself, and then add scripting to ingest the Hero Lab save file and populate the …

in Obsidian Portal - site update (Jan 2016) January 2016

Years ago, there _were_ adds everywhere. I didn't actually realize until I looked last night that there weren't any more (no-adds was originally the only feature of subscription to the site). I don't recall when they were taken out, but I assume the…

in A Totally Unofficial Help & Tips FAQ January 2016

If all you're concerned with is the text on wiki pages, and you're willing to use some code on every page, you could encapsulate all the content on each wiki page with something like all your content. You'd have to do every page by hand that way, an…

in Obsidian Portal - site update (Jan 2016) January 2016

I have to say, I think talking about free users as burdens does a disservice to both them and us. As with any service like this, free users are the life blood of the community. They are the players in our games, and they are the prospective subscrib…

in Obsidian Portal - site update (Jan 2016) January 2016 edited January 2016

I'd say the section headers for characters should follow the color and font rules similar to those for the campaign title (class: campaign-title in the existing CSS). That would make them consistent in appearance with other text of similar weight th…

in FEEDBACK - Forum upgrades? January 2016

I actually like Vanilla quite a bit for forums, and it seems like whatever we end up with they'll have to update the single sign on support. Might be easier to upgrade it for compatibility with later versions of vanilla than doing something for a wh…

The problem described here is likely caused by slow or failed loading of the script for the editing interface. When the script finally loads and executes, it snaps the edit box to a pre-determined size (what it was meant to do in the first moments a…

Hey guys - which 5e sheet are you having trouble with? Let me know the exact name from the menu and the author, and I'll see if I can help him or her debug the issue. Sounds like it aught to be straight forward enough if the steps to reproduce the p…
