:It's a browser rendering issue, not a wiki issue. It displays fine in Chrome, mostly fine in IE, and is all over the place in Firefox (I didn't test other browsers). I have no idea why it happens. - [[User:Tarkisflux|Tarkisflux]] <sup>[[User talk:Tarkisflux|Talk]]</sup> 16:18, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
== Can I Just Say... ==
I feel like the wiki has been performing pretty well as of late. I can't even remember the last time I got pinged because the wiki was slow, or down. What a fabulous difference from our Onenode days [[User:Surgo|Surgo]] ([[User talk:Surgo|talk]]) 03:55, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
:It has been. But if you'd like to remember the last couple of issues (for old times sake maybe?), you can look back a couple of topics on this page :-p - [[User:Tarkisflux|Tarkisflux]] <sup>[[User talk:Tarkisflux|Talk]]</sup> 16:52, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
== New Spell Linking Feature ==
I should have done this a while ago, but we have a feature that should make it easier to link spells. You can use the <nowiki>{{3.5e Spell Link}}</nowiki> template and provide it a spell you want to link to. It will automatically tell if it's a SRD or homebrew spell (if there are both, it will prefer the SRD one) and link to it with the proper formatting. Example:
<nowiki>{{3.5e Spell Link|Fear}}, {{3.5e Spell Link|Jellify}}</nowiki> becomes:
{{3.5e Spell Link|Fear}}, {{3.5e Spell Link|Jellify}}
Hope this helps. [[User:Surgo|Surgo]] ([[User talk:Surgo|talk]]) 17:21, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
== New Edition of D&D ==
Are we going to put up new stuff for the edition? I've got a house rule in mind that I want to upload somewhere. --[[User:Ghostwheel|Ghostwheel]] ([[User talk:Ghostwheel|talk]]) 21:58, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
:We should. If you've got something in mind, feel free to put it up. I'll help fill in the nav for it over the next few days. - [[User:Tarkisflux|Tarkisflux]] <sup>[[User talk:Tarkisflux|Talk]]</sup> 02:00, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
== New Users ==
Something is definitely up with the hordes of new users that have been registering the last few days. I assume it has something to do with spam, but very few are posting any content, so that would seem strange. Does anybody know what's going on? --[[User:TheDarkWad|TheDarkWad]] ([[User talk:TheDarkWad|talk]]) 04:08, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
:I do. Long story short, our captcha program broke (I think the company actually went out of business) so we had to go back to the older, inferior version. Those new users... bots, all of them. Sometimes the bots wake up and spam. That's when I break out Spammerbane. Oh the stories I could tell... like "the one night" where it was a 12 hour surge of constant spam. I gained soooo many levels.
:Until we have a suitable replacement (they're working on it I hear) I have to keep an eye out and Spammerbane sharp and ready. -- [[User:Eiji-kun|Eiji-kun]] ([[User talk:Eiji-kun|talk]]) 04:24, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
::On the bright side, it looks like while new spambots are signing up in droves, very few of them are actually getting through and doing real spamming. [[User:Surgo|Surgo]] ([[User talk:Surgo|talk]]) 18:42, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
:::Yeah, we have a pretty aggressive spam-blacklist for url substring matching. And most times something gets through, the list gets added to. And hopefully my subnet blocks will start to reduce spam accounts from bad providers as well. - [[User:Tarkisflux|Tarkisflux]] <sup>[[User talk:Tarkisflux|Talk]]</sup> 19:06, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
:::: <s>Something to automatically add [https://cleantalk.org/blacklists/ this list] to the blacklist module might work decently for a start. Hope that helps.</s> Nevermind, it costs money. --[[User:Ghostwheel|Ghostwheel]] ([[User talk:Ghostwheel|talk]]) 21:02, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
== Assistance Needed: Failure Attempting To Create An Account ==
For quite a bit I have been attempting to make an account on this wiki/website but thus far my efforts have proven fruitless. It consistently fails saying that I didn't enter the 'captcha' code or that it was invalid. But there was no image or code in sight, even when I alternated browsers using both 'Mozilla FireFox' as well as 'Google Chrome'. I am at a loss as what to do and how to get it to work. I am not sure if I did anything wrong or if the create an account system is simply bugged. I require assistance, please?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. - Anonymous Who Desires To Be A New User
:It's probably that spanbot issue we've been having and how it interacts with the IP bans. Don't worry, Tarkis should be able to handle this one. He'll see this. Pre-emptive welcoming to the wiki, good sir. -- [[User:Eiji-kun|Eiji-kun]] ([[User talk:Eiji-kun|talk]]) 10:00, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
::Merci monsieur Eiji-kun~ It is good to see a reply so quickly, I very much appreciate the response and your valuable time, mon ami. I have been reading about your work for quite a bit of time for the past some years, on this wiki and the dandwiki, I am quite a fan of some of your works, especially that of the plushie variety. You've given me much inspiration to desire to join in on one of the wikis/websites to try to do something similar to contribute and possibly make things fun for other players and enthusiasts. Thank you very much for your kind welcoming. -- The Still Currently Nameless Newbie 6:29 AM, 28 October 2014 (EST)
:::You should be seeing it when you post as an ip and that seems to be working just fine, so it sounds like it's only half missing. I'm seeing the capcha when I try to create an account in each of those browsers though... so I don't think it's on our end. It's possible that a firefox / chrome extension on the user side is blocking it. If this is still a problem (and it might not be, sometimes these things resolve on their own automagically), you can try disabling extensions until you can see it or just [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/957428 reset firefox] and re-enable add-ons afterwards. Let us know if those don't work and you're still having problems, and I'll see if I can hunt up something else to try. - [[User:Tarkisflux|Tarkisflux]] <sup>[[User talk:Tarkisflux|Talk]]</sup> 14:40, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
::::If you're running adblock, disable it for our site. We don't serve any advertisements anyway and this sounds like something really dumb that adblock might be doing. [[User:Surgo|Surgo]] ([[User talk:Surgo|talk]]) 16:23, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
