Upper Krust, where are you? [Immortal's Handbook]

[poilbrun]

Hi Buddha mate!



But why would it work before as an attachment and not now?

I already know I can 'get around it' I sent it via MSN Messenger and it worked.

I need to know why its not working normally though, there is something wrong with every pdf I have created with the exception of the first one (the test).

Which software are you using to send your email? It may happen that some software do not recognize the file system used by Windows (eg : not supporting file size longer than 8 letters) even though only (very) old software would have that problem. The other reason may apply if you're using a firewall and a web-based email. Maybe the firewall is blocking the entering communication from the website trying to get the file from you, which means the website cannot get to the file and thus believe the file isn't there and gives you this message.

Other than that, I'm a bit lost and I would need more details to see what happen. If you use a software on your computer to send it, try another one (try Outlook, express or not, or Eudora for example) and if you use Hotmail (since I believe that's your email adress), maybe try opening another free email account and try sending the mail with it. Or if the problem comes from a firewall, try disabling it for a short time while you upload the file. But don't forget to turn it back on!

I'm back

Hi poilbrun mate!

Which software are you using to send your email?

Hotmail.

It may happen that some software do not recognize the file system used by Windows (eg : not supporting file size longer than 8 letters) even though only (very) old software would have that problem. The other reason may apply if you're using a firewall and a web-based email.

Nope already thought of all that. I tried another email server.

Also remember that I can still attach the Test pdf, just not the revised version or any pdf created since the first.

Maybe the firewall is blocking the entering communication from the website trying to get the file from you, which means the website cannot get to the file and thus believe the file isn't there and gives you this message.

Nope. As I see it, the problem is intrinsic to the pdfs (not something extreneous).

It may be something to do with how its saved or somesuch (but I am a novice with this stuff so my ideas are limited).

Other than that, I'm a bit lost

You and me both.

and I would need more details to see what happen. If you use a software on your computer to send it, try another one (try Outlook, express or not, or Eudora for example) and if you use Hotmail (since I believe that's your email adress), maybe try opening another free email account and try sending the mail with it. Or if the problem comes from a firewall, try disabling it for a short time while you upload the file. But don't forget to turn it back on!

I tried an alternative email address/server.

The firewall problem wouldn't segregate individual pdfs.

Thanks anyway mate!

I'll get it sorted eventually.

Hello again all!

I think I have a solution to the pdf problem (though I still don't know what caused the initial dilemma?). I have sent out quite a few emailswith the pdf attached, if anyone hasn't received one yet, drop me a line (its difficult keeping track of so many), also if you have received one and (for whatever reason) the pdf didn't open let me know; thanks!

THE best possible news!

Hi all!

Just wanted to let you all know that I just had an email from a very nice person at WotC and suffice to say the update of the SRD is imminent. I don't have an exact date for you (because I wasn't given one) but lets just say the countdown has started and I can now finish typing up the final version since I now know what material I can draw upon.

Thanks for your patience.

I hope your info is accurate! If its not, you’d better not show your face here in the states! I’m gonna kick your butt if I have to wait any longer!! (just kidding)
I think I’ve been following your IH threads for over a year, and I know a lot of other people have too. I guess we can all wait a little longer.

So Krust, would that mean that the Deities and Demigods stuff is going into the SRD? I'm confused by what your saying at the bottom man.

Weee! Hm... I guess that means... *mumbles incoherently about someone living a little longer, makes hasty call to korean mafia contact*

Well with that out of the way... congratulations. Are you allowed to tell us what all's going in? I heard from WotC_Ted on the boards not too long ago that D&Dg and the ELH were both on track to be added soon... no mention of how much of each though... Anyways, after all this, that book better be running off the presses the day after the update.

Despite what gets added to the SRD, I can't wait to give the IH a once over to see what I can actually pirate idea wise for the campaign I'm starting next month.

Hi all!

I hope your info is accurate!

It is straight from the top.

If its not, you’d better not show your face here in the states! I’m gonna kick your butt if I have to wait any longer!! (just kidding)

I think WotC didn't want the bad press from another D&D related suicide...namely mine.

I think I’ve been following your IH threads for over a year, and I know a lot of other people have too. I guess we can all wait a little longer.

It will be good to get this monkey off my back and start worrying about something else.

Hi blackshirt5!

Sorry for babbling incoherantly, I was just excited.

Deities & Demigods and the Epic Level Handbook are both being introduced shortly into the SRD. I can't give the exact date (because I wasn't privy to one) but from the email I was sent I would anticipate sometime in March (and remember this is just my guess I wasn't told March, in fact even WotC don't know for certain yet!)
