What is Going On with the Character Tokens??

1605028250

Edited 1605028618
I'm setting up things for my Curse of Strahd Campaign with my friends, and I have a lot of tokens that I've been using since before the dynamic lighting update. I bring this up because I think the recent token update is in correlation with this whole dynamic lighting update thing that Roll20 has been working on for quite some time. I haven't really been a fan of the update, given how I've been using the older version and it's been working quite well for me as is (but most of my opinions on it have been based on the beta usage of dynamic lighting). But this forum post is about the tokens themselves. With the old token setup, I've separated everything by category for my characters as follows: PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION Detailed descriptions about the character PERSONALITY Detailed descriptions about the personality BACKGROUND Detailed history of the character's background This usually takes up quite a lot of bullet points ETC Curse of Strahd is very long and in places very disorganized I use these categories to help determine where to put important information so I can quickly go along as a DM for my players in the game The forum's topic page still follows this format, and I prefer it to be this way. Curse of Strahd is extremely dense with lore and information, and I play with a bunch of friends via online. It's not possible for me to switch between the book, the tokens, my notes, music, and the group text chat all at once. This method of note-taking has been a life-saver for me. Now here's how your new update messed up my stuff. All of my tokens and information that I've put in are super spaced out for no reason: What's worse, is now I can't even make bullet points in this way anymore. I've tried to do this over a new token and it looks terrible. This was after pushing the ENTER key just once ! On top of that, I can't keep it together as a group anymore. I tried that, and instead, it made the title (i.e. "PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION," "PERSONALITY," BACKGROUND," etc.) a bullet point and it's extremely frustrating to deal with right now. I'm so close to being done this third chapter for my friends, and now it feels like all of my work is thrown out the window! This new update for the tokens, in my opinion, is completely unacceptable. It's just ruined all of my note-taking and I've spent literal months planning writing everything for this campaign for my friends. With this drastic change, I'm tempted to just up and cancel my subscription and close everything I've ever done for it. Because what I'm doing is just not compatible with whatever it is you guys are doing now. Please tell me how I can fix this or if there's some way to change it back to the old way (aka what your forum topics page looks like.)

Looks like there is some sort of issue with the editor in that field.  As far as I know, it is the same editor setup as in handouts or the bio and info tab of a character sheet, so there is definitely some sort of bug with the editor in the token gm notes tab.  Have you submitted a ticket on this?

Welp...That's not I was intending to do....I just looked at it and it appears that I made a silly mistake. :( My apologies. I've got a ticket for it and will get it fixed. You wont need to do any changes on your end. Thanks for reporting it and offering screen shots. That really helps.  - Cassie

I honestly wasn't sure if this was some new format thing you guys were doing but I'm happy to hear that it's being looked into! Apologies for coming off so cross. It's been a hell of a long day and I wasn't a happy camper when I saw that

No worries. That was a frustrating bug to encounter. It was a typo on my part when trying to get the text box to fill up more of the space in the available menu. - Cassie

Speaking of text box sizes, is there any chance of changing the "New PM" modal to be lest horribly small on high res screens? It's about the size of an OK/Cancel pop-up on a Surface screen. It's currently locked to 600px, rather than width%. I'm just using CSS for now: #pmmodal .modal-dialog { width:75%; } Once you've posted it's fine - it uses the full screen width like the rest of the forum. It's just the new PM modal - it feels like typing on a calculator compared to the rest of the site! It doesn't bother me anymore since I've Styled it away, but your post jogged my memory.
