Most likely because the link you're following was copied from the address bar when that was the latest post.

in Question about map zoom May 2011

They weren't when this thread was written, a year and a half ago. This was discussed again in a much more current thread, and it probably wasn't necessary to resurrect this one. Just saying.

There are a number of guides, tips, and so on available in the "FAQ thread":http://forums.obsidianportal.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=1114&page=1#Item_41. Also, this thread craves brains.

in Campaign Maps WIP Thread May 2011

I see what you're feeling there Gaaran, and I see two things that might be generating the dissonance. One thing is scale. I don't think anyone's expecting the icons to be presented to scale, but they do feel too big to my eye. The other, and harder …

Nice work. For deserts, I've always just favored some stippled looking noise - grit kind of stuff. You should be able to get that out of the normal brush system in whatever software you use I imagine.

Very nice! I especially like the folds. That's a great touch.

in Campaign Maps WIP Thread April 2011

That looks great Gaaran! The extra texture and grunge, plus the chart lines and hand written notes give it a lot of character it didn't have in the previous iteration. I think the only thing I'd suggest changing is the outer border treatment - you'v…

in Campaign Maps WIP Thread April 2011

The Phalanx Coast and Koar maps were done more or less by hand using Photoshop and a Wacom tablet. All the elements were hand drawn, as were the land masses and rivers, and then I converted a selection of trees, mountains, hills and so on into custo…

Some very nice work there guys, but I'd expect no less from you all. None of my maps really qualify as 'in progress' at the moment, but I have done a couple of things in the past few months. For my campaign "The Company of Captain Black":http:…

in Problems with character backgrounds April 2011

According to the "master list":http://www.obsidianportal.com/dynamic_sheet_templates, that sheet was created by "Sageinarage":http://www.obsidianportal.com/profile/sageinarage.

in Problems with character backgrounds April 2011

There should be a link on the DST character sheet to the name of the author of the sheet. Your best bet is probably to drop him or her a private message describing the problem, so it can be investigated and fixed. When doing so, it will be helpful t…

in The ABility to Share Wiki Entries between campaigns March 2011

This has been discussed in the past, and there are a number of complications - mostly revolving around editing rights. Only the owning player can edit a player character, so they're simple. Any player in the campaign can edit a wiki page though, whi…

in Hello + How do you get more participation from your players? March 2011 edited March 2011

Arsheesh and Gaaran are right of course, that it's in large part about the players. Giving them incentives is good, but it will only help get the players who want to participate out of their idle state. It won't engage folks who don't already want t…

in Asendant Campaign Backgrounds cause scroll lag QQ March 2011

This appears to be caused by the way the image is scaled to fill the browser frame, using background-size:cover. I'll drop a report to the developers.

in Dynamic sheets and images March 2011

You can copy and paste the pips code from my Exalted sheets if you like. It's designed to be as portable and easy to use as possible. Let me know if you want a breakdown of how to make it work for you.

in My maps are negative images February 2011

Sounds like a bug with the server code that breaks up the single uploaded image into Google Maps tiles. You should submit it through the help system, so the site developers know about it.

in Most images won't upload February 2011

Sounds like you're doing things right. You should send a message to the admins through the help system with all the details (what browser and operating system you're using, and so forth).

in Request: A New Shadowrun Dynamic Sheet February 2011 edited February 2011

Both of these will require some HTML work to accomplish, but nothing too complex. There are several ways of making columns. Probably the simplest and cleanest is to create nested _div_ tags with fixed width, and the _inline-block_ display style (…

Congratulations Dusk! It wasn't so long ago that The Nemedian Chronicles had a death-grip on that slot (perhaps owing to it's five month stint in the featured slot)...

in Revising my wiki February 2011

If memory serves, in standards compliant browsers the height and width represent the usable space of the element, with both padding and margins added to the values to determine the overall size of the element. As I recall however, border width is no…

in Dynamic Character Sheets February 2011

Yeah. You end up needing fixed sizes because of the way jEditable works. It doesn't try very hard to calculate the proper sizes of things.

in Import Characters from DDI February 2011

This would be a great feature to have, I agree. It should even be possible through the API. I'm not at all sure when I might find the time to actually write the feature though. If anyone else wants to set this up, you're welcome to take a crack at i…

in Dynamic Character Sheets February 2011

The trick with the inputs is that the code will take the height and width set for the the _span_ tag that's being converted, but only if they're explicitly set in the CSS. If you loook at the _div.ds_chainsawxiv_exalted .typeq_ style in my sheets' "…

in Pathfinder Character Sheet February 2011

At a glance, there appears to be an error in the scripts being used (udalrich_pathfineder_context.getElementsByTagName is not a function). Without digging into his code, it's tough to say exactly what's causing it, but it's most likely a simple bug …
