D&D 4E Get WotC 4e's Online Character Builder to work or get a sub

Yup, all clear here for me too

The online tools do have some things that the offline one lacks from what I have heard ... nice database searching and other elements. The offline Character Builder that (I can help people get working if they want to contact me), is rather limited to just the Character Building functionality though putting in custom content takes some patience it is pretty rewarding.

i think they are on going subscribers to DDI with accounts and passwords still...

Right, and on the subject of browsers, MOST browsers have now demolished their NPAPI support, which pretty much means you aren't going to get Silverlight to work. I believe this is true of both Chrome and Firefox, though you can of course find older versions that will still work, if you disable updates.

Edge NEVER supported Silverlight, it doesn't do plugins, period. IE is your only real choice in 'mainline' supported browsers, and it will probably (I would assume) continue to offer support for things like Silverlight.

Note that you actually CAN get Silverlight, even the CB, to work on Linux (maybe MacOS too, not sure) if you use 'Pipelight', which required me to use an alternative RPM repo, etc. It was a slightly involved process, but mostly it 'just worked' (it also broke all the automatic updates of Wine pretty much permanently). Not sure if that is still something you can pull off or not, as my DDI lapsed a couple months back and I haven't tried to trick WotC into renewing it.

I've been using Firefox and it works no issues
Also, just so people are aware, you can still get new/reactivate subs from here http://gc.digitalriver.com/store/dndi/html/pbPage.wizards

Then you are clearly using an older version of Firefox. Silverlight support was removed starting from version 25.0.

And DDI is working?

Wait, does that work with new subs?

Disable updates asap if you wish to keep using it for DDI. If not, consider switching to IE only for DDI.

Yup, it sure does. Just have to have a current Wizards Account (the normal one you can still sign up for).
