I'm suddenly getting a game showing up on my list that I'm not a part of; apparently, it's popping up whenever a new message comes in.

I've had that happen twice now, too.   Both games I was either a player in, or a lurker in, though.

If you could, would you send is an rMail with a game link?  That'd help us look into what's going on there.

UPDATE: Seems a lot of people are reporting the problem as of today.  Please hold on until jase has a chance to look into it.

Previously games were pushed back onto your stickylist if you were sent a private message.  Due to recent database changes games will now also be pushed back onto your list if you're a lurker or player and a message is posted to a game thread you are a member of.

If you're leaving a game you need to let the GM know, and I'd suggest this is what you do.

If you're still having this problem and you're not a lurker or player (go into the game, if you don't have "Request Access" then you're either a lurker or a player) then let me know.

...I must say, I actually like that!! While I don't GM on-site anymore, when I did I had people who dropped out of my games and just disappeared. I suspect they may have just removed the game from their sticky. >.>

Games that I used to play in but have removed from my sticky list for various reasons are now showing up on my list anytime someone else posts in them, I think.  Of the two which this happened with, one I have been removed from and the other not.

I have not talked to the GMs, because I don't see how anything that the have done could affect this.

Anyway, they pop up with a new message, I remove them from my list again and then they reappear when another new message is posted.

Any ideas on what is happening, let me know.  This started this last Saturday.

Shengami, could you have been moved to lurker status?  If you are a lurker, you pop up too.

Shengami (and anyone else) if a game pops up on your list and you are not a member of it, please send us an rMail with a link to the game and we'll look into it.

If you are a member (co-GM, player, lurker), you will need to speak to the GM and get them to remove you to stop the game re-appearing on your sticky list whenever it is active.

I have a question about the 'games popping back up if you're a player and you get a post' topic. Let's say the GM wants to keep your character around for historical purposes rather than just deleting them. Is there an easy way to make it so the player doesn't constantly get the game brought back up other than simply deleting their character? Like, say, making them an NPC?

I am a co-gm in a game: Across the top of it I have the message: You do not currently participate in this game, click here to request to join.

The funny thing is I still have my full GM access, can edit everything, including the player and character list. So umm, bug? Right now its mostly just amusing, but I could see it being a problem for some at some point.

Move the player's PC to the GM using 'Edit Players' or 'Edit Characters.'

In reply to MikelAmroni (msg #241):

I just took a look at the game.  Your primary character apparently no longer exists in the game, which is probably what is causing the weird message.  You, or the main GM, need to reassign one of your characters as the primary one.

On the Character Details page for GMs, the "View Profile of:" list doesn't scroll and instead shows every character. This distorts horribly if there are many characters in a game, which the Character Information box and the character sheet disappearing off the screen.

It seems to work perfectly for me, which browser and O/S are you using?

It's Firefox 8.0 under Windows XP.

It's OK under FF8 in Windows 7; I am figuring a forced refresh on that page doesn't fix it up any?

No, no change.

I get it in all games, btw.

I also get it in Internet Explorer 8, and without the scroll bar at all.

Found the issue, fixed, thanks.

It works now. Thank you very much.

I'll have the GM try. I just tried and it refused to update. Thanks for the help!

Sorry about the link issue :)

Changing any of the following addressees will start a new thread, doesn't.

In reply to sweep (msg #252):

There was a problem with that a week or so back but it was since fixed.  Can you describe the exact circumstances in which it doesn't make a new thread?  tx.

When I tried to reply to a PM, the tick boxes were all blank and I had to fill in the recipient by hand, so that I could post the message.  Less importantly, the problem wasn't caught by the code, it came out as a SQL error instead.

I've experimented in a few other cases and it seems to be just that thread.  I haven't seen any evidence of anyone else having problems.

I started the thread yesterday, to a single recipient.  If the recipient had any problems replying, I don't know of them  A similar thread that I started only a couple of hours later is fine.  The problem occurs whether I try to reply to the thread or to individual messages.

Jase, if you want details of game etc. just ask - rmail is fine.

Please do rMail the details.  tx.

In reply to jase (msg #235):

I've been confronted with how sucky this executes, so I wish to complain :p

Some games keep popping up on my list. Two of them I have indeed left. I let the DMs know, I talked to them about it afterwards, but for some reason they did not remove my character from the game. This means they keep on popping up. This must be a problem for more people. I don't really see why this is necessary. Now I have to harrass the DMs again to remove me from games I haven't played in for about half a year, and that makes me feel very awkward. I did everything right but I'm still stuck with all the stickies.

The third game was abandoned by the DM, but people still post in it. It keeps on popping up and I can't be removed from the game.

Anyway, just my two cents. I think there are many cases in which the player is now burdened by unstickying things all the time.
