Password for Campaigns tab?

[Bobson]

Why are we prompted to reenter our password when switching to the Campaign tab? As far as I can tell, there's nothing special about it that you can't just pull up via navigating the message board.

Because it's for people who are making campaigns on the board. Given that they are responsible for the fun of several people, a little extra security isn't what we call a bad thing.

If typing a few extra keys is going to give you carpal tunnel, get Dashlane.

I was curious about this as well. I see no links on the resulting page that grant any additional capabilities than navigating to those sub-forums manually. Unless there is some planned future functionality then the additional security check seems superfluous.

Are there special features which GMs can only see via that tab? I don't run any games, so I don't know what the GM tools look like.

There are a few like governing who is active in a campaign and thread descriptions. Also the ability to unlink and link threads. If someone wanted to be a gremlin they could screw some stuff up.

We just rolled out some changes to the campaigns tab. It no longer requires a password, and now only shows your active campaigns. (If you don't have any active campaigns, you won't see a campaigns tab.)

I now get this error when attempting to switch to the new "My Campaigns" tab:

There is no element on this page with the id "auc_2_3_3_3_2_2_3_3_1_1_3_1_2_1_1_3_1_0_0_1_3_3_3_1".

Hitting OK takes me to https://secure.paizo.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Store.woa/ajax/74.2.3.3.3.2.2.3 .3.1.1.3.1.2.1.1.3.1.0.0.1.3.3.3.1.1 (which loads without any CSS).

Firefox 22.0, OSX 10.6.8.

Refreshing does load the page correctly, but then I get a similar error switching back to the Messageboard tab.
