I'm not sure if this has already been said (I'm pretty sure it's another variation of what johanfk said), but my cast list is displaying groups incorrectly.  My characters have access to groups 0,1, and 2, but it's saying they're all group 7.

Another thing that I have wondered in cast list, is the list thought to sort on tags as in the past and then in alphabet? Because since the change of the use of tags the cast sorting seems to be somewhat chaotic.

Not sure if this had been brought up but I noticed in one of my games a player has posted the same post 3 times (I know this happens from phones sometimes) and when I tried to delete the two extra ones it tells me that the messages cannot be found but it is still showing there and not showing as deleted as it used to.

So maybe it is gone but just not showing as such yet?

Again, probably not the right place to post this but I know you're reading this jase ;-)

Would it be possible to add a 'view description' link to the profile page next to the 'edit description' button as I've always found it a pain to have to find a post, then click info->description just to view the changes I've made to my own description?! :-)

Anyway.  Really minor change but I've been meaning to mention it for a while ;-)

Thanks

Was linked to this threat to post this here as I posted it elsewhere.

I have a different question of the Mods regarding the changes that were just made to Rpol.

With the changes, I noticed in the Cast List, the " Groups " Do not match the actual thread anymore.

For example, I have two games running in. One in Thread ( Group 5 ) and one in Thread ( Group 3 ) Yet on the Cast list, One says they are in group 17 and the other in stayed as Group 3.

For another game, My Game writer, was the GM and is listed in the same group as the players for one of my games, which should be group 3, but is listed as group 9 in the cast. I also discovered that the Game writer can NO longer PM the players in the group as in the cast, they are listed as 255. It comes up with an error code.

E r r o r
Game Writer is not in the same group(s) as Master Falk. As a GM you can override group restrictions by typing in the players name (Game Writer) in the 'other name' box.

and yet, there is no " Other Name " box for me to change it in, within the PMs.

PLEASE HELP ME

What are the changes and how can I fix this ?

Thanks

And Jase, Just so you know, This is STILL the BEST site ever for gaming. I LOVE it !!

PaulK & Rathorne - I can't find where the PM group error is coming from, all my testing gives the correct warning at the correct time.  Can you please rMail me the game details, and who you're trying to PM.

johanfk - Grouped by GMs (primary alias), NPCs, the rest.

Akarui - This is an old, odd, bug.  rMail me the details and I'll clean it up.

Rathorne - Sorry, absolutely terrible time and location to put in a feature request.  Please post it in RPoL Development.


The cast should really really now show correctly.  I forgot to remove a debugging section, oops.

Adding a character to a lurker should now correctly make them a player.

Bio's for added characters will now be added to the correct spot.

Trying to figure out where the IE9 display issues are coming from, I didn't think I changed that much wrt rendering.  I've fixed some minor html tag issues, but nothing that I'd suspect would solve that strange problem.

Thanks Jase !!

For fixing the Cast list !! You do amazing work, you and your Team !! Just so you know !


Still cant message a player from my Game Master PM's though. Just to let you know. Keep getting that Error message I listed above.

Will probably need to you rMail me the full details, FD.


Not sure why yet, but sometimes, for some users, the check of you had secondary characters returned false, resulting in the 'view' drop-down list being empty.  Everyone with more than one character should now be able to select their other characters under "Character Details".

It's probably linked to the above issues, Jase, but if you have an NPC alt and post a PM with it.  Then go in and edit that PM, it returns:

Cannot post.  You do not play the character "".

You can however continue to reply as normal to that PM thread and with the same alt NPC.

In reply to Rathorne (msg #115):

Aha!  If you're a player (not a GM)!  Found and fixed, I believe.  Hopefully that sorted all editing woes for PMs.

Suddenly I can't see the pictures anymore.  I checked my settings and they should be there but when I try and load them all I get is little lines with the name of the file beneath.

Is that a glitch or just something with the portrait server?

After typing a post, when I go to hit the "post" button, the entire screen disappears, including the message and all posts.  This happens when the cursor hovers over the buttons or the "compose" tab to the right.  The screen comes back when the screen is resized or otherwise modified.

This appears to only occur on private messages, not public messages.

In reply to Flis (msg #117):

If it's only the female and neutral portraits, then it's due to a problem with the server, which has been reported and will hopefully be sorted out soon.

Sorry, rest of the issues will have to wait (again), I've got to be up in 5 hours for work and if I push on any further I'm just going to make mistakes (rather than fix prior ones).  More fixes to come as soon as I can (8 or so hours time).

Just wanted to pop in and say the character profile is working a-ok again and thank you for your hard work. :)

Links posted by the GM, e.g. <a href="http://www.mysite.com">Click here</a>, show up correctly for the GM but players see the raw code.

When I change the name of an NPC, the cast list does not seem to get sorted again alphabetically. The NPC stays on the same spot.

In reply to jase (msg #116):

Tested. All good :-) Thanks for the fix!

I take my earlier statement back.  This error of the screen disappearing is occurring in normal postings as well as private messages.

(I have to use tab to advance the cursor and then "enter" to select.)

My limit has dropped a few as well.  Not hugely concerned, but thought I'd point it out, as I didn't see it replied to.

Is it an intentional change or a bug from the newest revision?

Thank you jace, that was a fast response.  Sadly, this bug has morphed.  Characters in Group Z do display correctly in The Cast page, but now PC's aren't listed in their proper groups.  For example, one PC in my game is listed as being in group 1031 (which is obviously incorrect due to the repeat of group 1 ;-) but when I go to edit that character I see they are checked off for being in groups 012A (which is the correct group selection for this character.)

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but when I try to type a response in a post, and I go to change the style text or add a private line, the screen will shift up and be hidden. Suddenly, I cannot click any buttons, because they are all 'off' the screen.

In reply to Westwind (msg #122):

In game threads?


In reply to Mortuis (msg #127):

Where is this showing?


Game limit should be better, some accounts had some empty database information, which I've now corrected.

Cast sorting should be.. uh.. sorted now as well.

I've also updated a few of the style sheets, it should fix unscrollable areas.. and who knows, it might fix the vanishing page issue.  Press Control-R (or whatever forces a refresh in your browser) to ensure you've got the latest file.

Cast list looks much better now yes. But there are two things. Some of my characters don't get marked with right date and time when I login.
Second the new tags are not sorted. Don't know if it was your intention but gm and npc characters are sorted as described prior while the new tags are only sorted based on character name not as I would think tag name then on name (as gm and npc is).
