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…

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?

is there a way to look at ALL my posts, going back well, as far as my first post, however long that was? I haven't found a way to look back at more than a few most recent posts

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".

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?

How do I unlock archive threads in clubs? I'd like to re-add new items into some of the threads that appear archived and locked.
