Map Pins - Plus Subscription

Question, will map pin customization ever be considered for the Plus tier or do we just languish in being second class subscribers.  I would love to make custom "buttons" that open up handouts but alas. Jokes aside (not really), is there any discussion about this being the case at all or should I just think of upping my subscription tier? Thanks (Also apologies if this is not the correct place for this post, i can't find any general inquiry section in the forums.)

Hi Marcel! The best place to get dev atteintion is a  Help Center Request , or responding in one of the curated threads they start for new features, particularly when said feature is still in development. An open forum post is really hit or mis, but I'll see if I can get some attention on this.

I have done some poking around, and based on all the announcements, it's most likely that  that the advanced levels of customization are likely to remain a Pro/Elite perk for the time being. However, at Free and Plus, you are still able to customize pin type, size, and color.
I have a pro account and am having an issue with Map Pins only one of my games. The links don't work! I have tried to copy from other games where they do work to no avail. Jumpgate 2014/2024 character sheet I filed a Help Center Request and got back an answer three weeks ago that they have been able to replicate the problem but there has been nothing since then. What am I to do?

Hi Hultz! It's best to start a new thread with a new problem. It's easier to find and track that way, and keeps the OP's thread focussed. If you want to post a fuller description in a new thread, I'd be happy to help. Or PM me directly—if you want to invite me to the game that is giving you issues, I could investigate directly.
Depending on the features you need, you might just use tokens as map pins.  I don't need all the other crap map pins support since we rarely are moving tokens around on maps and tokens with tooltips fulfills the need of good looking pins with information.  I had been doing this before map pins became supported and since they don't really offer anything to me other than making the process more intuitive, I've just continued using tokens since they look much nicer.  YMMV though, I don't play D&D and I just want the pins for city and region maps.  Given that I don't use the majority of features plus offers, I don't see the need to pay more to change the pin art when I can just use a token.
