Nope, that’s on the agenda with the forum talk. I’m gonna go through each user group and sub-forum and customize the permissions based on what y’all think we should do.

It’s just like anything else here, dude. We want it to succeed because we want to make this place a reflection of what everyone enjoyed about the old forums, and the best way to do that is to give the people what they want.

Does that work outside of CE in a forum that doesn’t even have its fantasy-sourced structure in place yet?
You stopped us from supporting pedophiles, so that is very importantFor the record, my effort has been effectively none

This is true, but I also didn't provide my various sources, so I was slacking there.

The purple one hurts on dark mode.

I know, I didn’t realize that until I uploaded it. We can change colors of it if need be, though.

I like the red one personally, but I'm no DM so I don't get a vote
Plus, if I throw some shitty ones up there… someone else might be compelled to find something better. I only went through two pages of Google.

But it's purple...
And I don't use dark mode...
But I do think the red one has more mass appeal.
Of these I think #2 is the best (the red one) but vash and Ben should get final say.
You could be one day if you wanted to. A D&D story doesn't have to be big or have a lot of people. You can be a DM for 1 other person if you wanted. There are also ways with random encounter generator type stuff to do a solo campaign just by yourself. I think it could be lots of fun to see the different types of DMs and stories we can have in this place.I like the red one personally, but I'm no DM so I don't get a vote
I am neither creative enough, nor do I have the patience though, lol.
That said I vowed I would never GM a game of wolf either... lol

Works as I think it’s supposed to on mobile. I can go right to your page from the post.
Edit: figured it out. See next post
Never mind, the quick way is to turn my phone from portrait to landscape

Running e-feds has a lot of similarities to DMing
But wrestling is fake. D&D is real
Yeah, but I sucked at that too.
Red one is pretty sweet. I just wonder how readable it'd be when scaled down.

Yeah, I was wondering that about the purple one as well, which is why I also included the cartoony one that has more of a solid look to it. I dunno, man… those looked the best out of the options I saw.

Technically 32x32. Yeah, don’t ask. It’s fucking weird.
Man, I'm kind of glad I'm not using a 4k monitor... That'd freaking SUCK to try to see...

The photoshop trial I had could only scale to a minimum of 50x50, so I still couldn’t scale them appropriately.
You should check out GIMP. After I stopped being a pirate, and therefore stopped using Photoshop, it's honestly filled every niche I've needed it for. Sure it's not got all the new super advanced features like AI outpainting or whatever, but it's A+ for GNU software.
I disabled a lot of these fields from displaying on the post display itself. I just left the name enabled, with everything else under "more".
I also worked on getting an image to fit in there. My largest problem with it was not having luck trying to plug an imgur link in here, but that's got to be something about inline linking from that specific service. For this test, I honestly just linked directly to the GWF attachment URL that I'd uploaded in this thread. I'm not 100% on whether this is going to cause any substantial server lag, nor whether it's being loaded all the time even when you don't expand the More section. @Crystal @Mark I'll put that one on you two, whether you're okay with me directing people to upload any image as an attachment under whatever thread we choose, then using that URL. Alternately, if you know of another preferred image service that'll work as an alternative that'd work too.
What if I setup an ftp account that you, Vash, Mark (and Cole if he wants to jump in!) and myself can access to upload images to a directory on GWF?
That's an option and perhaps the best one, it'll just put more on us to help configure/maintain each player's profile.
But I was just thinking how there's potential for people to abuse it if they're just given free reign to include their own image link, and to give the full link to the D&DBeyond profile. I need to redo the character sheet field and require that they drop their sheet ID into it, to parse into the full link, not just ask for the full link. The character image would be more secure if it was just us able to fill that one out, and/or if I similarly make it require they drop the attachment ID into the custom field and not an entire img URL.

Like I said: legit campaign and a just for fun goofy campaign (as an intro for the newbies and perhaps a party paladin)Now I'm starting to realize that my biggest problem is too many people wanting to play for a single campaign.
Gonna have to run a couple at a time.
Gonna need a lot of caffeine.

yeaaaaah we gotta work out how campaign recruitment/party building/sign-ups are gonna work
Hmm. Well if all they could enter was the filename and it is then appended to the remainder of the URL, that also cuts down on the ability to input full URLs, but you're right, it might just be easier to use the attachment id (still potential for abuse there, as they could upload anything anywhere and use that id). I'll let you decide, I'm good with either if it'll work.

I tweaked it to this for now. It's at least a whole lot more secure, and if they did upload an attachment that's inappropriate then staff here have the ability to delete it fairly easily. Plus it'd be attached on a post, so it'd hopefully get moderator eyes anyway.
For the Images, I've got it pointing to "https://gwforums.com/attachments/FILENAME/" with it accepting "1000003808-png.5128" in the custom field.
For the Character Sheet, it's pointing to "https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/CHARACTERID" and accepting "115107227" in the custom field.
So if anything not uploaded as an attachment on GWF is inserted, it'll show a broken image. If anything not a valid character ID is entered, it'll be a broken link. That should be enough guardrails to stop it being horribly abused for now.
I’m not sure how to add the Kutshort image to my profile
Perfect! If that works long term, awesome, if not we can look at any other ideas, including ftp to make sure we have something that'll work.
