in Forum auto-selection to send email December 2024

@Hojou, we try to setup the defaults on each feature to be what most members will want, and what will lead to the outcomes that most members want. For Campaign Forum posts, most are going to want to be alerted when something new is posted to the Cam…

@Abersade I'm not sure if this will help with your scenario, but if you know you're going to want to do a bunch of updates where you're not going to want to send Email Notifications, you can temporarily put this code into your Custom JavaScript: $(…

It's unlikely that we're going to find time to work on an explicit webhooks feature, but I think nuadaria has already worked on this: https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/6481/discord-integration-either-via-automation-or-clicks#latest

I've added this request to the Feature Requests list. Any other members that are interested in this, post here to increase the priority on this feature. @Hojou Personally, I think everyone should be de-selected by default, and the poster can then …

in New Feature: "Character Prep Reminder" emails November 2024

@Hojou, I'm not sure I'm following which decision you're referring to? This setting is in the Campaign Settings > Advanced tab, so the GM makes the decision for each Campaign.

Sounds interesting. How would you use this feature? Do you have a specific example?

in New Feature: "Character Prep Reminder" emails November 2024

@Hojou Thanks for the feedback! We thought about making it opt-in, but one of the most consistent issues we hear from GMs is "how do I get my Players more engaged in my Campaign?" This feature is aimed directly at that. And we want the default setti…

in Forum auto-selection to send email November 2024

There's no way to do this with CSS, but you could probably use Custom JavaScript to do it. But, I'd still just ask the Players to set their preferences to what they want, and then let it be whatever they set it to be. I for example get annoyed when …

in Forum auto-selection to send email November 2024

@Hojou That setting is already in the hands of the Players themselves. If your Players don't want to be auto-checked to get email notifications about the Campaign Forum Posts, they can go to My Profile > Edit Your Profile, and then scroll down to…

in Change Element Text November 2024

@Hojou I added the span with a class of "text", so this should now get you what you want. (Note the "space" before "TEST" ... otherwise there will be no space between "TEST" and the icon.) .forum-page-header h2 .text { display: none; } .forum-pa…

in Change Element Text November 2024

@Hojou I think you can get close with this ... .forum-page-header h2 { display: none; } .forum-page-header .small-11::before { content: "TEST"; display: inline-block; margin-top: 30px; } But, since that's referencing ".small-11", that's…

in Is there a way to copy a campaign? November 2024

We have an internal tool that will copy most of the content of the Campaign, but it doesn't copy any of the Media Library. So, any images in the Campaign copy will be broken and need to be fixed. Do you want to try that? You can always just delete t…

in Testing Changes to Public Campaigns Due to Site Slowness October 2024 edited October 2024

We did get some further concerns from members that run Campaigns with Players who don't want to have to create OP accounts to view the Campaign. So, we're testing out another change to see if we still get the same benefits of banishing the slowness,…

in Testing Changes to Public Campaigns Due to Site Slowness October 2024

This change has been in place now for a couple of weeks, and I personally haven't seen any slowness on the site since it went into effect and haven't heard of any members seeing slowness and we haven't had to spend any dev time on bots since then! I…

in Custom Characters Layout October 2024

@dragondreams What was weird was that I was not seeing the tags in the class attribute on my items page but was in the characters page. That does sound odd. There's no special setting for the tags to show up in the HTML. The one Item I saw in your C…

in Custom characters page: How to horizontally align images / containers? October 2024

Just to make sure we're going down the right road ... it kind of sounds like you're trying to create a filtered list of Characters. Have you considered using a filtered link to the Characters page as your Runners link? For example, you could put a "…

in Current Beta Features August 2024

@Abersade, done! Just to clarify, all Beta features are applied per GM, as opposed to per Campaign, so all of the Campaigns you GM now have "More Maps". Btw, that OP dragon logo on The Obsidian Sept that moves and blows fire is awesome!! : )

@dragondreams Thanks for pointing this out! Looks like that was a limitation that was put in place for a reason that no longer exists. That limitation has now been removed. Character and Item names can now be 1 - 255 characters long. Should we maybe…

Do you foresee any issues like rate limiting with pelting a campaign with this many requests this fast or otherwise? @nuadaria, not that I can think of. It's going one page at a time, so that should work just fine. If you do hit any issues, feel fre…

Any chance this can be addressed? Or if it is similar to the previous problem, how come it doesn't seem to be addressed until someone points it out on the forums. @LordMisha, very valid questions. 502 errors don't show up on our side in the error lo…
