Page: 1

Yep..I've been kicking the tires for bugs, trying out the new features, and I've a few questions.

1 - Are profiles (specifically the email information) in any way accessible by all viewers, or is that for my eyes only?

2 - Does login expire, or do I stay logged in infinitely until I log myself out?

3 - What is the "Castle Form" code at the bottom of the campaign page to be used for? Does that work only on this forum or does it work on all fields on this site?

4 - Will it eventually be possible to search rolls by registered username just like we can currently do using the character name?

5 - How often will the databases for dice-rolls be dumped, and will there be a similar scheduled dumping of unused campaigns?

6 - Am I buggin' ya? I don't mean to bug ya. :D
1 - Are profiles (specifically the email information) in any way accessible by all viewers, or is that for my eyes only?
Yes, they are accessible, from /profile/playername/
Also, they are hotlinked from search results.

However, only you can see your email.

2 - Does login expire, or do I stay logged in infinitely until I log myself out?

Indefinite

3 - What is the "Castle Form" code at the bottom of the campaign page to be used for? Does that work only on this forum or does it work on all fields on this site?

Only for the forum at the moment.

4 - Will it eventually be possible to search rolls by registered username just like we can currently do using the character name?

Good idea, I'll add it to the list.

5 - How often will the databases for dice-rolls be dumped, and will there be a similar scheduled dumping of unused campaigns?

I have never dumped the database since the beginning in 2005. If performance gets too bad, I might archive things older than a year or so, depending on feedback.

6 - Am I buggin' ya? I don't mean to bug ya. :D

Nope, I appreciate the feedback. ;)

Good questions, I quoted this one for importance and clarification. Spike says as we currently can do, but I can't seem to find the place to find rolls anymore.

Other than the rolls themselves it's a very important feature. For example in a online game I was reading the first two characters rolled had very high stats between the them. Using Find Rolls it came out that one of them cheated, and just kept rolling.

DM in my home game uses it to keep people honest.

I guess I hid it too well. You just hit "search" in the form on the top right without putting anything into the form.

Since you had problems with that, probably others did too. So, I've added a new link to the top nav bar.

Thanks for the suggestion and feedback!

Ah!, whoops I'm not hugely observant. Thanks!

Edit: Aha! That what I get for not having maximised windows, should have scrolled right.
