RpNation

I recommend checking out the site update survival guide first. Beyond that, I'm chill with answering any questions you may have.

Oh, thank you very much.  I've read over the guide and most of the Common Questions Concerning the Update thread, but I do still have a couple of questions.  I'm sorry if they're dumb and/or have already been answered; I'm still pretty turned around and kinda overwhelmed, so I'm probs not the greatest at finding things right now...

Questions 1 and 2, I guess, would be about the Content Count.  Firstly, is that just posts or is that including other things as well?  Secondly, is there a way to see what the actual number for that is, or should I just wait and hope it fixes itself?  Sorry about the second one; I'm just 100% sure that 887 is way too high, and I want to figure out how far I still have to go before I can use the Hosted Projects system.


Leading off of that, Question 3: if you're not eligible for the Hosted Projects system (which I assume I'm not since I can't see the Add New RP thing from the tutorial), does that mean you're not allowed to GM at all, or "only" that you need to make a thousand individual pages in the usual areas?  I had an idea for a thing, but I want to make absolutely sure I'm not stepping on toes before I start with it...


I'm sorry for bothering you with my dumbass questions, and thank you very much for helping me out.  I appreciate it.

Content count is just posts - 887 is your number, brother.


If you're not eligible for the Hosted Project system, just make a thread in the appropriate genre place for the in-character thread. For example, in fantasy you'd just make a thread - which could be used for in-character - then one in OOC, character sign-up, and whatever else you want (each of those subforums is under fantasy or whatever other genre.)


I suggest linking them at the top of each other. I know it's not the most convenient thing ever, but thread-tabs died in the update.


Hosted projects are at the very bottom of the forum page - which means that the regular sections work differently and aren't affected either way. It's just a different forum.


Does that help?

Oh! Also - you have over 250 posts required for HPs, so if you can't make a hosted project, please make a support request. For thread roleplays you should only have one character signup - in Hosted Projects you make a thread per character, for threads it's one thread for all characters

Wow, really?  I honestly didn't think that I had been that prolific before I brain-farted and died for 10,000 years...

Alrighty.  Thanks for letting me know; I just wanted to make sure to avoid breaking any of the rules for all the new stuff.

Also, sorry, I figured out that I actually can use the HP things like 2 seconds before your second post.  For some reason, I thought the pic in the tutorial was for the list of genres and not in the actual genre sub-forum itself.  I'm sorry for the hassle.

I think my only other question right now stems from being an idiot and forgetting stuff from the old site: how do I use the dice roller again?

Dice roller's not working atm, we'll be getting it (or a version of it) up as soon as we can.

Gotcha.  Is there an alternative we should use in the meantime, or should we just rely on screenshots or something similar?
