[QUOTE="Ferghis, post: 5094516, member: 40483"] Hey, thanks for the great website. I like it very, very much. The iphone viewer is also excellent. Also, I love your "white noise" graph of the dice algorithm. Really great work, overall. I know that you request feedback to be reported on the google talks iplay4e page, but you seem to have taken the above feedback to heart, and I'm not sure I can track down the various threads to submit these things independently. So here's this. [s]I see a notes tab (occupying the same area in which the powers are listed). This a separate and bigger area than the notes/conditions area. But I have no idea how to add (or eventually remove) notes. Is this something that remains to be implemented?[/s] This seems to be solved. [u]Possible Bugs:[/U] A friend of mine uploaded two different characters that are playing in two different campaigns, under different DMs, and five iterations of each character appeared in the characters screen, but only the first of each character seemed to have any details. The other four only had the name and the top line of iplay4e menus shown. The other four did not show details such as defenses, HP, surges, and so on. All other characters (I can view about 10 in two different campaigns) were normal. Both I and my friend could see the "bug." I asked my friend if he had accidentally uploaded the characters more than once, but he said he was reasonably sure he didn't. My friend deleted the characters and re-uploaded them, and this solved his bug. On a different occasion I could see two iterations of the same character, and only the top of the two had any detail. The duplicate appeared in the drop down menu on the upper left corner of the screen as well. When I clicked on the first of the two characters (the one with the visible details), it appeared in full, and the duplicate dissappeared from the drop down menu list of characters. I also note that you are working on this issue. The plugin for both Wave and Epicwords.com is usually too wide. I have a 1280x1024 monitor, and when my browser is set to fullscreen, I can't see the entire width of the plugin on epicwords, and I can only see the full width on wave if I minimize the inbox or search result panel. On epicwords, a vertical scrollbar appears on the right, but not on the bottom. It would be nice to do without the scrollbars, but I'm not sure if that's feaisble. The integration offered by the plugin is fantastic, and is one of the greater attractions of iplay4e, so this seems to be something that needs addressing. [u]Feature requests:[/u] I've been told that you intend to grant DM access to modifiying character sheets. The main purpose of this is so that the characters of absent players can participate in a game. Encounter (as opposed to daily) Item power uses. At the moment it looks like only daily powers of items are tracked. On a separate tab, track history of modifications to the sheet (date and time of HP changes, rests, item and power uses, etc.). It would be nice if this panel also noted rolls, citing, if clicked through a non-dice button, what kind of roll it was (e.g. init, a specific power, etc.). Donors should get an unlimited history for their characters, while non-donors could get an arbitrary limit to the number of lines of history that will be stored. Allow players to add short notes to powers, and save these notes. This allows players to make up for the fact that the sheet does not (and probably can not) account for all the feats and items that may affect a given power. Maybe this can be fit immediately above the DDI info, and immediately under the area where the power's attack bonus and damage are listed. For example, the Shield Push feat allows a fighter to move the target of a Combat Challenge attack if hit, and although the feat is listed among the feats section of the sheet, it would be nice if a player could note it in the details of the power itself. Triggered powers should have a floating tool-tip advising of the triggering event. This would save time when searching for a power that triggers off a specific event. I realize this may be problematic due it requiring access to DDI, so if there was no DDI account, it couls simply say that the trigger is unavailable. In the build panel, under Race and Class fill the empty area with a bullet list of race and class features (under each heading in the left hand column), so that the player can bring them up directly by clicking on them, instead of navigating through class or race, and then selecting the desired feature through the drop down menu in the description panel. Likewise, show the name of the Background Option at the bottom of the right hand column in the build panel. [/QUOTE]
