don't know if I can really chat or not. nobody is ever on.
I typed Hi in several different chat windows but nothing came up.
some chat windows don't even show me being there.
All mine show my name there (with the aliases when I have never posted with the main alias).
But yes, no one is one for now, which doesn't prevent us from spreading the word and gathering more people, right?

Now I just have to find someone in my games to talk to. Thanks!
Easier to quote than to write again. Well done Oladon!
I'm still struggling to rearrange them in the page, since I haven't figured out how to do that, yet. Would you please enlighten me? The Arranger function is automatic. By default, Paizo will only ever show two columns of campaigns at a time, which I find non-ideal; I like to be able to see all 8 or 9 of my campaigns on one page. The Arranger makes that possible by (among other things) varying the number of columns based on the width of your window.
With that said, one of the projects I've got up my sleeve is to add the ability to reorder your campaigns on the page and have it save the order you set (and always load them with that layout).

You may be having a different issue. When you click on a chat icon, is there any text in the window that pops up? If not, your computer may not be establishing a connection with the chat correctly, and we may need to troubleshoot.
just says:
"No message history to display."
Alright, I'll PM you and we can troubleshoot. :)
I would really appreciate the reorder function.
One more function that would be nice is the ability to hide specific campaigns (that the DM has vanished from, but hasn't gone 'dark' yet).
Not really necessary once the reorder function is available, as I can just move the others off my screen, but I'm sure it'd still get a lot of mileage if you added it. :)
You can actually hide campaigns already by hiding the Gameplay thread (go find the Gameplay thread in the forum, and click the little null sign [∅] next to it), but I think you're right that a reordering ability would get significant use.
Actually, come to think of it, I could probably make hiding a game much easier by just adding the Gameplay thread hide button to the campaigns page...
Verified. The chat bubbles are visible to me now.

New (Chrome) Version 1.1.3
Apparently I broke the blacklist feature with the latest couple of releases; that's fixed now.
Just asking, not pushing....
When will the Firefox extension at this level be available. While I do have Chrome on my laptop, Paizo is the only site that I do not like to use it for since it disables an extension that I use a lot on Paizo.
-- david
I'm working on it even as we speak, but I don't know how long it will take... Firefox makes some things inordinately difficult.
Also not pushing, but for those like DRB who're wondering when X will happen, one way of giving me more time to work on X is to support my work via Patreon. The less time I have to spend doing regular work the more time I can spend making cool stuff for you guys. :)
Chrome version 1.1.4 is out to fix a bug where chat wouldn't show up on individual campaign thread pages.
Firefox version of chat is still in progress...

Chrome News
Thanks to a contribution by Garrett Guillotte, the blacklist feature will now work in the Paizo store discussion sections as of version 1.1.5.
Firefox News
Good news and bad news here. Mozilla has recently announced plans to significantly change the way Firefox extensions are developed.
The good news is that this will most likely make implementing the chat feature fairly trivial.
The bad news is that this means any significant work done now on making chat work in the Firefox extension would have to be undone as soon as these changes take place. For that reason, I'm unlikely to spend time implementing chat (or other new features) in the Firefox version of the extension for the time being; it just doesn't make sense to do so with this news.
NOTE: I am not deprecating the Firefox version of the extension, and will continue to maintain it and fix any bugs that appear. However, it doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time on work that will become obsolete in a short period of time.

Chrome News: Version 1.1.6
Version 1.1.6 is out with two new features. Thanks to Garrett there's a new option to apply the blacklist to blog comments in addition to the store and forums. In addition to that, there's a new feature called the Alias Selector; it allows you to set an alias as your default for a campaign, and updates your chat nickname as well as the "Post As" drop-down in threads for that campaign.
To set your default posting alias for a campaign, open one of that campaign's threads and scroll to the bottom. Select the user you'd like to make default, and then click the little icon to the right of the drop-down.
You'll need to update your settings to take advantage of these new features. To do so, go to chrome://extensions and click "Options" under Paizo Campaign Tools.
If you'd like to see more great features for this extension, as well as other cool things, check out my Patreon and consider supporting my work.
No, sorry... there's currently no way to add a browser extension to most mobile browsers.

Firefox News: Version 1.26
I've just released version 1.26 of the Firefox version of the extension. This release adds the Alias Selector feature and fixes the blacklist.
The Mozilla-hosted version of the add-on is still on 1.25, since it hasn't been through their lengthy review process. The URL above will let you download 1.26 directly.
As always, if you'd like to see more great features for this extension, as well as other cool things, check out my Patreon and consider supporting my work.

Oladon, the extension works great! Thanks.
One feature that I think might be more useful than the blacklist would be a personal star rating for other users, but only for personal use.
For instance, after playing a game with Hmm, I might give her 5 stars, which would show up next to her name on my screen, but she would not be able to see them (nor would anyone else). That would remind me later that I really like playing in games she's in.
That would be a more useful feature for me than simple blacklists.

You're quite welcome!
Good idea on the personal ratings. I'll add it to the list of features I want to implement.
I broke it! Go me!
Ack! Apparently this alias is now the default for all my threads, not only gameplay.
I would like to rate people and have them get fainter and fainter on the grayscale the lower their rating.
I'll second the thanks for the extension and the suggestion for personal rating for other users! :)
I'm hearing reports of the new feature in the Chrome version not working for a few people; I'm looking into it, but if you're experiencing the issue and haven't talked to me about it, please send a PM. (I'd prefer to keep the troubleshooting out of this thread, so please PM or email me.)

Hey guys, I've tracked down a few bugs in both the Firefox and Chrome extensions, and should have new versions of each up this weekend.
Chrome News: Version 1.1.7
I've released version 1.1.7, which should fix the alias selector for just about everyone. There's still one person with an issue this version doesn't fix, but their problem doesn't seem to be widespread, and is probably associated with being on Windows 10.
Firefox News: Version 1.26.1
For those who were having trouble with the Firefox extension, version 1.26.1 should fix that feature. Please download from here, as the version hosted by Mozilla is behind.
What's Next?
Here are the features I'd like to work on for this, in no particular order:
- Resizeable chat window
- Extended post tags: skill rolls, saves, etc.
- Extended post formatting tags: underline, possibly colors
- Private text
- Personal rating system
As always, I welcome your questions, comments, feedback and support.
Chrome News: Version 1.1.8
I've just released version 1.1.8 of the Chrome extension, which fixes the alias selector issue and also adds a new feature: messageboard tags for [u]underlining[/u] and [color=forestgreen]color[/color]. Please be sure to visit your Options page in order to enable these.
Firefox News: Version 1.27
This Firefox release adds two new messageboard tags: [u]underlining[/u] and [color=forestgreen]color[/color]. Please download from here (save link as...) and drag onto Firefox, then click "Install" when prompted.
As always, I welcome your questions, comments, feedback and support.

Firefox News: Oops!
Someone has pointed out to me that I linked version 1.26.1 for Firefox from the last post, instead of 1.27. Here's the link for 1.27. Sorry about that!
Chrome News
There are still a few people having trouble with the alias selector, so I'm looking into the issues I've heard about and hope to have a fix out soon.
Chrome Version 1.1.9
Version 1.1.9 of the Chrome extension is out with some minor bug fixes -- no new features in this one, sorry.
If you're still having trouble with the alias selector, please try removing the extension completely, restarting your computer, and reinstalling the extension. It's worked for the last few people who were having issues.
Err, scratch that. Chrome has apparently decided that the minor bug fixes of version 1.1.9 merit a manual review of the extension.
No idea how long it'll take. At least there aren't any major features waiting.
1.1.9 is out now. Google doesn't apologize for the delay.
Update: Firefox pct-1.27.xpi is working great for me. Thanks. :)
@ Oladon: I don't know if you are still working on the personalized star system or not. If you aren't, I had another thought about it.
One thing that I like about the idea is that no one gets their feelings hurt when other players rate them a 1 or 2 (or even worse—a 0). But it would be useful to know when other players rate a given player a 5-star. I don't know if that's possible?
What it might look like:
The Fox ☆☆☆ ← your rating Recommended by 2 people. ← the number of players who have rated The Fox ☆☆☆☆☆.

Good idea -- thanks for sharing it!
I actually have a separate project that's intended to help address finding great DMs (and other players), but I haven't had a lot of time to work on it lately. This suggestion could tie into that project nicely.
Firefox News
The newest version of Firefox (43) apparently disables PCT and won't let you re-enable it. I'll work on getting a new version out quickly, and hopefully they won't take very long to review it and get it pushed out to you all.

The new version (43) just downloaded and updated, and 9 of my addons / extensions were disabled, including this one. Dumb arse update, but you can disable the update checker by setting the value of xpinstall.signatures.required to false, and the update has no affect for disabling the addons.

I may or may not be able to have the update out this weekend. For those who don't know, DRB is talking about going into about:config (type it in your address bar), finding the xpinstall.signatures.required setting, and setting it to false.
Obviously I didn't get to it this past weekend. Might be able to get to it Wednesday, otherwise it'll probably have to wait until New Year's weekend.
Firefox News
I haven't abandoned you guys... just been busy with Christmas traveling, leveling characters, Nethack 3.6.0, and such.
The change has ended up being more difficult than it first seemed, but I've worked on it some today and I think I have a good idea of how to do it. That means all that's left is the implementation*!
*... which is often more difficult than the strategy/planning, but shh... don't tell anyone I said that.
Chrome News
Is there some bug that no one has told me about? We've lost ~20 users in the past few days for some reason...
Feature Request:
Hi! Love this extension. It works very well. The only problem I have is that occasionally, it seems to be missing and the display goes native, but if I refresh, it's back.
I have one feedback: the preferred alias for the campaign is the same through all the associated threads. I typically post as the character in gameplay and as myself in discussion. Is it possible to localize the alias by thread? >_< Please don't hurt me
And one new request, if it's doable. I frequently read the campaign updates just as I'm flying out the door or from my phone. Then the new posts are gone but I haven't updated and don't remember that I need to. Is there a way we can have a "Need to update" button on each campaign that we can turn on when we need to post there? Maybe have it show up next to the campaign chat window icon at the top?
I never used Wayfinder so am not certain how good it was. An Android version of Campaign Tools would be useful, for sure, particularly with a "need to update" feature. :/
I got a bit of Christmas cash, so I'll be sure to support you.
Thank you for the support!
Usually when the display "goes native", as you say, it's because Paizo has redirected you to an odd URL that isn't paizo.com/people/<yourname>/campaigns — when that happens, refreshing will usually revert the URL and thus appear to "fix" the extension. With that said, if you can grab that URL for me, I should be able to make it also work there... haven't been able to grab it yet when it's happened to me.
The feature request is interesting. It's something I would probably use, too, which helps. ;)
Still need to fix the Firefox extension first... for those who're wondering, it's still in progress.
Tag Re-write Update
Good news! I made a good amount of progress on the rework today! It's not finished yet, but it's close. And once it's done, I won't have to feel bad about working on other things!

Here's one example: http://paizo.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Store.woa/wa/browse?path=%2Fpeople%2FJo hnWoodford%2Fcampaigns
I've got ten active campaigns. With the URL above, my Campaigns tab currently displays eight campaigns across, although if you follow alphabetical order it's "123478910" on the top, and "56" on the bottom left. It's also not highlighting new posts. A simple refresh doesn't help. Reloading the page from the bookmark does, though.
ETA: Interestingly, if I copy that URL and try to navigate back to it I get "Your search didn't match any items."

Then I noticed that a space had crept into the link, between the o and the h in my name. The corrected URL takes me back to the weird Campaigns tab layout.
Thanks, John. No one else need feel obligated to post their odd URLs: with that one, I ought to be able to implement a work-around that'll cause the extension to still work, even when Paizo redirects you to one of those.
I'll go ahead and include that fix in the next version (ETA: this weekend?).
Paizo automatically adds spaces to most URLs that people simply copy onto the forum. They work right if you use an actual hyperlink. ^^
Chrome News: 1.1.91
I've just released a new Chrome version. It's currently pending review by Google, but should be available within a few days. Nothing too exciting here: a few bug fixes, a small security patch, and a fix for the wonky URL issue. Be sure to let me know if you have any issues with this release.
Firefox News: 1.28
Since the security patch (tag rewrite) was originally written because of the Firefox version, it'll be rather ironic if the Chrome version makes it out first. Nonetheless, a new Firefox version (1.28) is on its way (currently in review with Mozilla) with the aforementioned bug fixes and security-related tag rewrite. The wonky URL issue is also fixed. If you'd like to download the unsigned extension, you can find it here (right-click and "save as...", then drag onto Firefox and allow the install).
As always, your feedback, questions, and bug reports are most welcome. Thanks for your support!

I'm seeing a difference w/o installing the new extension (using Firefox 44.0). It autofills the primary alias I use in a campaign, but the campaigns are in a single column as opposed to four.
The Firefox version is out now*, so go ahead and install that and let me know if you have any issues. :)
*It's amazing! Mozilla approved the Firefox version before Google approved the Chrome version! Hurray!
Chrome/Firefox News
Hi, all.
It appears that the Firefox version is no longer working perfectly: namely, the alias auto-selection icons are no longer being rendered correctly. I suspect this is due to some recent Firefox change... planning to look into it this weekend.
I've also received a report that blacklisting doesn't work from the options page in Chrome; have not personally validated yet. In the meantime, just use the x's by peoples' names.
I'll try to have an update for you all this weekend. If I get extra into it (and manage to find the time), I might even throw in one of the new features on the list!
In the meantime, thanks for your support, both here and via Patreon.
