The following is really only going to apply to a relatively small number of people, but it's still good information to have out there. I wanted to take a quick moment to run through some of the changes to the warning system that came through with the recent update to the site. Before I get into the specifics of how they work, a quick comment on when warnings are handed out: The moderators on this site (myself included) will hand out a warning when a post is viewed to have crossed "the line". For folks wondering exactly where that line is so that you can tread close to it but not cross it, don't. Just don't. If you try to tread close to the line…

@Simon When you do the store on the menu all it does is pull up the sub-menu, it won't pull up the store. I have to do the "desktop site" button to get there.

I'm seeing this fairly often. It's not creating a problem for me (I can always follow the link back to the Forums), but it might be a symptom of some other issue. It gives the error code of, "2S136/J". I have not noticed a pattern about when it appears.

I'm having a weird access issue while I am at home and using an old iPad with its native Safari browser, which is pretty much the only way I get in from home for the last 5 years plus. It started this morning. When I try to access the root page of the NGD forum in this way, I get "This community is not available" that doesn't seem like it comes from the Hero Games site at all. But ... I did not see this at all during the day (about 8AM to 3:15 PM PST) while I was at my desktop machine at my office during that interval. Come back home, and the situation I found circa 7AM PST again exists: "This community is not available." I do seem to be able to get to other forums w…

Why is the forum background now (as in, up to a day ago) blindingly white? My only recourse is to use a Firefox add-on called "Dark Reader".

The 4e Primus PDF is listed in the store as being out of stock. Is that correct and it's not sold any more, or is it a bug?

I have acquired an unreasonable amount of AI generated art that I want to put in the downloads section as VTT tokens. Is this frowned upon? AI art is very divisive. Don't want to ruffle feathers. I'm not planning to put these in the store.

I am getting bored of these messages that appear when searching too often. They appear like this when I search more than once within a minute or even switch pages of the search or refresh the page. They're so annoying. Sorry, there is a problem Please wait 48 seconds before attempting another search

I can't log into my old account: https://www.herogames.com/forums/profile/58336-3uu8dh39sjhwhw/ I can't remember what e-mail I attached to it. I have all my paypal receipts for all of my purchases I've ever made with it. Is there any way I can gain access to it and/or the items I purchased again?

When I try to buy a copy of Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth (Book + PDF), the Hero Games store tells me, "Sharper Than A Serpent's Tooth (Book + PDF) cannot be shipped to your location. " I'm in the US and the Hero Games store has no problem shipping other items to me. Is there a reason, or is this a bug?

It looks like maybe these went away somewhere along the line, although I see that @Spence apparently re-added the Converting Characters document several years ago. I still have the others (Animals, Combat Example, Example Characters from Other Genres, and Talent Creation). Is there any interest in adding these back?

Right now the Champions Now subforum is being treated as a second-class citizen. It's got a tiny header, it's subordinate to the Champions subforum, it's hard to tell if the most recent post is in Champions or Champions Now. Would it be possible to move Champions Now to a proper subforum?

It looks like the option to change fonts within posts has gone away as a drop down item. I liked being able to use a monospaced font to post character writeups, since it keeps everything aligned without resorting to a code tag (which can result in horizontal scroll bars that aren't desirable). Is there a way to change a font manually within a post, like a tag, for example? EDIT: I just posted a character from a text file, and the default font seems to be decent enough, so this is no biggie. (But I'll still take any working font tags anyone knows of. )

okay, so I'm considering on starting a new club. I don't have 6th edition (and let's face it, it doesn't have many supplements) But. What I do have is mostly 5th edition or before. I am missing some of the first (1-3) edition. But have a ton of 4th. But I am curious, how much work is involved in maintaining a club? Is it worth the effort?

As the Subject says. E.g www.paizo.com where every one of the products they sell, both 1st and 3rd party, each have a dedicated forum thread. When a new product is added to the site ahead of release date (or Kickstarter date for HERO), it provides a place to collect discussion. Also, even for existing products, it's a place to discuss the best use one got out of Enemies III etc. My own recent efforts to find a Champions/HERO group her in Raleigh-Durham NC have led me to realize I need to be the GM because the interest is coming primarily from players unfamiliar with HERO, or first time playing a superhero RPG. So…

Hello there, What is the proper way to delete my account here on the forum? I've sent two emails through the contact form already in the past weeks but received zero reply. There's nothing wrong, I'll always be a devoted fan of Hero, but I've always been more of a reader of the forum so I don't need to have an account, hence, I whish to have ot deleted. Thanks in advance!

Does Herogames have a discord channel? If so, can I get the link? If not I think it'll really expedite the transfer of information for gamers.

Is there any way to download the content of a thread in some basic text file format? I posted a bunch of "actual play" content years ago, and I've now lost the original text files, but would love to just download the thread posts. Is that at all possible? Thanks!

Maybe it's just me but I can't see any preview images for downloads anymore. I've tried clearing my cache and in a different browser so I don't think it's client side.

We used to be able to use different fonts in our posts. I used to start every post with [font=times] in order to get a serif font, because as my editor friend once said, "Sans Serif fonts are an abomination!" I like to use the Times font mostly because it makes italics much easier to see in a post, and I do like to use my italics. That trick doesn't work anymore. Has it simply been weeded out with the latest update of the HERO site? Just curious . . . .

Just FYI for folks, the forums went through a minor version upgrade earlier today. Things may be a little wonky for the next couple of days while posts re-index and the new ranking system rebuilds/recalcs. Hopefully nothing too disruptive, though you won't see any ranks until the rebuild completes. There are a number of new features/enhancements, but they should all be pretty transparent (nothing that you need to do to see them). The new ranking system is currently set to improve rank (which is, in itself, a relatively meaningless thing) based on posts, followed content, reactions, etc. in all areas outside of the NGD. To be clear, this won't affect post count or oth…
