Currently there are two ways to get a campaign off your campaign list:
1) Have the GM remove you using the Edit Campaign information. This is great when GMs know to do this, or the GM is active. Gives the GM plenty of control. But there is no control by the player.
2) Find the gameplay thread on the main forum list and select "hide post" option. This is EXTREMELY hard to do if your campaign is old. The only way to find it is to do a search, but when you get the search result, it takes you directly to the thread itself, not the block forum listing that has the option to hide it. Thus, you are forced to scroll endlessly through the forums trying to find your exact campaign to then hide. It shouldn't be this hard.
The hide option needs to be in the thread itself, or there needs to be a way so that when you search for your campaign thread, it will give you the option to hide a campaign. Something. Anything, so the player can also manage their campaigns. Ideally, it should be on the campaign tab or in our account.
Thanks for reading. I hope this is fixed.
While I don't disagree at all with your sentiments, I've found going into the campaigns forum and then using "focus" generally narrows it down enough that I can find the thread I want to hide.
(OK, reading my reply, I'm feeling like it's coming off as terse. I don't mean it to at all, just trying to throw out another way to remove yourself in the meantime.)
If things were going to be changed, moving the 'stoptracking' "x" from just after the new post count (close enough I can accidentally hit it when using my phone), to the other side of the thread name, would be great. Or moving the post count similarly?
Thank you for considering it.
It's not impossible to remove oneself from the campaign, but it is harder than it should be. The best way I have found is to look at the last gameplay post date, then sort the forum by date and scroll through until you can find it, then hide the thread.
Does it really have to be that complicated? That's all I'm sayin.
If you go to the main messageboards page, click on the "My Campaigns" tab (near the top), and hide a thread there, does that remove you from that campaign?
I didn't realize hiding campaign threads took you off the campaign.
It doesn't remove your character from the campaign, but it does remove the campaign from the list on your My Campaigns tab.
The hide/unhide button on the Campaigns tab is only available for previous campaigns (ones you've already been removed from or that have been made inactive either by the DM or by no one posting in the gameplay thread for 3 months). If the DM disappears, until the 3 months have passed, hiding the thread using the ∅ button on the main page is the only way to get the campaign off your active list.
