[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 6193630, member: 40413"] Ok, finally getting around to jotting down my thoughts and reactions to the above. [b]Adventure Tracking:[/b] Like you, PM, I mainly use the Adventure Tracking page for the recording and tracking of DMC. I'm not sure I agree with dividing the page into active and inactive DMs. I can't really express what it is about the division that I don't like and I can live with the division so I hadn't mentioned it before. Otherwise, I am fine with the solution (#4 in PM's post above) for the Adventure Tracking page. [b]Adventure Timeline and Adventure Logs:[/b] The Timeline page I created some time ago so that there would be a list in order of adventures played and that I could add brief summaries to of the adventures. Recently I realized that page was becoming very long so I recently started breaking that list out into the Adventure Logs by year. So, the Adventure Logs are new within the last month or so, so it's not surprising you hadn't run across it. I disagree that the Adventure Logs should be in alphabetical order (and that's saying a lot coming from a librarian). Our alphabetical list of completed adventures on the Adventure Tracking page didn't stay that way very long because it is easier to just add the latest adventure to the bottom of the list. Maybe no one but me thinks it is important but I like being able to read summaries (ok, titles at this point in time) in the order that they occurred. Kinda gives me a feeling of history for our game world. [b]Editing Active Adventures page:[/b] SK wrote that up and posted it. It's lost somewhere in old discussions and I'm not sure even what thread it is in. I did copy and paste that info into a word doc. It might be easier for me to find that though putting those directions on the wiki with a link somewhere on the Active Adventures page would be good, I think. [b]Approved Characters page:[/b] I disagree with breaking this page into active and inactive. The whole point is to have a complete list of characters. I feel if you want to look at active characters you should use the Active Adventures page. I suppose an alternative is to have subcategories of the Approved Characters page then we could also add Retired/Deceased as a subcategory. [b]Tabs:[/b] I like tabs. Or rather, I like the neat presentation of information using tabs and I think that presentation outweighs the points against them brought up by PM & SK. Even if we don't use them on Adventure Tracking I'm going to use them to maintain my spell lists; much easier than the template and spacing that we've been using up to this point. So, my take on PM's [color=lime]solutions[/color] in short: #1-3: Basically this all seems to be about adding more links where we can. I agree, with the exception of alphabetizing the Adventure Log pages and whether Active Adventures has a TOC; I don't use the TOCs much anymore (though I don't mind if they exist) and I addressed the alphabetizing above. #4: I'm on board with those fixes (though I would prefer the use of tabs).
