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…

I've been on vacation for a couple of weeks, so maybe I missed an announcement, but when I try to post in the 'What have you watched recently' topic, it tells me I'm posting things that aren't allowed, and asks me to change the highlighted things below...and then it shows me my whole post with every word highlighted. And they're all just mundane entries, with the name of the show, where to watch it, and a pithy statement about the show. No matter what I change, it thinks my whole post is breaking the rules. What can I do?

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!

I’ve noticed that forum activity seems to have dropped a lot recently. It used to be that there were new postings appearing pretty regularly across multiple forums, but not so much recently. Has anyone else noticed this, or am I just imagining it?

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?

When/if you update a purchased PDF, do you get notifications so you can come and re-download?

I used to have an account 'back in the day' (2008) which I was unable to log back into. Its slowly occurring to me that one of the admins might be able to help. Would there be any way of merging the old account into this one, or even just recovering access to it? The account profile is here: https://www.herogames.com/profile/231-mavnn/

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?

I just purchased a pdf from the store and when I attempted to download the pdf I am getting a warning from McAfee that the download "contains viruses, spyware, or other potentially unwanted programs". Has this ever happened to anyone else when using the store?

How do I get Multiquote to work now? I recall, maybe wrongly, clicking the "+" for each post to be quoted, then hitting Quote", but that only quotes the one I click Quote on.

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.

Is there some place where forum ranks and the point system are described/explained? Apparently I am rank 12 out of 14 ("Mentor") and need 111 points to reach the next rank. But I don't understand what any of that means.

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…

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?

@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 not sure if it's something I did or something changed with the Forum, but I find I can't post videos like everyone else. I paste the URL for the video into the field and it comes out with the video title, just as if I'd posted it as a link. Can you help me, please?

As per the title why is this forum so stingy with the upvote per day amount. Some days I want to upvote 10 posts, another day 0. Why should it be limited? I can only upvote each post once anyways. The Dream Pod 9 forums uses the same interface/forum software as the HERO forum, so maybe it's an odd/default setting for this forum software? If so could it please be change.

I'd like to attach an Open Office document in a private message. I know how to do that in a regular post, but I don't see that option in the private messages. Is there a way to do that?

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 . . . .

How does one hide text or pictures behind a spoiler tag? I tried enclosing my post in square "spoiler" brackets--i.e. [spoiler][/spoiler]---but it didn't work, and I tried these brackets--<spoiler></spoiler>--but that didn't work, either. What am I doing wrong here?
