    Something changed with the forum. After so many years, it seems posts are much easier to read again. Big thanks to whoever finally saw the light!

    There is but one issue. This bright light here, which now makes it impossible to see the page count, etc.:

    Hello everyone - there were some issues on the backend that may have affected the theme. I have let Admin know and will follow-up as soon as I hear back details.

    Hello friends,

    I just want to clarify that this invitation is directed to you as members of the community. This is (y)our chance to share (y)our unique gaming experiences. We’re eagerly looking for contributors to pitch their ideas and, once approved, to craft an article that reflects your passion for gaming. Don’t worry about the editing (if that is a concern); send your draft my way, and I’ll take care of polishing it for you. As well, the blog might be a vlog, maybe even a brief podcast as outlined in the announcement. We’re excited to feature a new blog post on the 7th of each month, starting with our inaugural post on May 7th. Your feedback and discussions have been incredibly valuable, and I look forward to highlighting the community's first submission. Please do reach out as you consider this invitation here or through PM

    Hello friends,

    In case you have not seen the new feature for the community, it's below. I hope this thread will be used to discuss community member's blogs and explore ideas for the new adventure for our community!

    240407_meme_20th_01b.thumb.jpg.bff273239f19bba6fe7f25a783eab7f3.jpgThe journey of our community has spanned two incredible decades, which was launched February 7th, 2004, and is marked by our support for Obsidian and its remarkable creative endeavours. To further accentuate the richness of our community's diversity and its connexion with Obsidian, we are excited to introduce a new feature: the Community Blog.

    The primary objective of this blog is to extend an invitation to the community to pitch ideas for blogs, which will range between 500 to 800 words. These blogs will be published regularly and will provide a platform for our members to share their unique perspectives and experiences. We envision publishing a blog monthly, which will delve into the realm of gaming, specifically focusing on the individual's encounters with Obsidian's games. Moreover, we encourage exploration of the broader implications for an industry that continuously evolves, weaving together storytelling, technology, escapism, and social commentary.

    If this resonates with you, we invite you to connect with Fionavar by sending them a private message with your pitch (https://forums.obsidian.net/profile/49-fionavar/)! The author for each monthly blog chosen will receive a ‘thank you’ from Obsidian for your creativity up to twice a year. As well, each writer will also have a blogging badge attached to their profile after posting.

    As the Squad extends this invitation for the first blog, which is slated for publication on May 7th, we want to thank you for your support of Obsidian and its unfolding creativity. We hope this regular new feature, which will be published on the 7th of each month as content is available, will capture the community’s excitement and interest in the gaming industry. Together, let's continue to shape the narrative of our shared enthusiasm for gaming and its profound impact on our lives.

    -The Mod Squad

    Me an my friends are making a real game called Man In the high castle  we using the book an tv show as our source my question is would obsidian publish it we are still thinking of mechanics and type of game. we are using ue 5.3. But like I said will obsidian publish it

    Heya Bonnell,

    Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately OBS no longer accepts game submission ideas. As an independent developer, Obsidian was often contracted by publishers with an idea for a game and make it through them. Now that we're part of the Microsoft family, it's a bit different. That said, you can reach out to developers with your idea and see if they're interested. They would be the ones who in turn approach publishers like us to make the game. The developers we've worked with in the past are:

    - Disney (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II) - http://help.disney.com
    - Wizards of the Coast (Neverwinter Nights 2) - https://company.wizards.com/contact-us
    - SEGA (Alpha Protocol) - https://support.sega.co.uk/hc/en-us/requests/new
    - Bethesda (Fallout: New Vegas) - http://support.bethsoft.com/form.php?l=en
    - SQUARE ENIX (Dungeon Siege III) - http://support.na.square-enix.com/contacttop.php?id=1373&la=1
    - Ubisoft (South Park: The Stick of Truth) - https://support.ubi.com/en-US

    No - and I didn't change any of my browser/cookie settings.

    It's weird... yesterday the session ended as soon as I closed the browser. Just now I visited the forum again (first time today I believe) and I was logged out again. But when I clicked on "sign in" I suddenly was logged in again and didn't have to do anything. 

    Edit: this is superweird: I now tested it again and closed the browser and opened if back up, went ot the forum site: it says I'm looged in (cool). THen tried to edit this post and the edit option is not there (huh? logged out secretly?). Reload the page and I'm logged out. 🤷‍♂️

    I'm using 2FAuth - maybe that's causing a problem? No idea...

    I am also blocking 3rd-party cookies and use Disconnect to block third-party tracking - but there's only 1 content request from Microsoft and a bunch from Google afaict. In the past that didn't cause any problems with the login process. I can try without those and report.

    Edit 2: deactivated the Disconnect addon and now I keep being logged in. OKay, I can live with that. It's just weird that this worked in the past an now it doesn't. Is the session cookie from a different source now or something? 

    Helpful - thanks, Boeroer! Echoes some of my issues, yesterday. Are you still experiencing this?

    If you haven't been to this doctor, they may want to get a baseline for a few visits and then drop you to annual physicals unless something happens.

    Or they may just want that sweet, sweet insurance money.

    I had a doctor who ordered EVERY test imaginable for my annual visits. I suspect it was billing related, but was always interesting to see the results :)

    Hey everyone!

    Sorry for the trouble with the forums today. We ran an update that had some issues and it took awhile to fix.

    If you notice any additional problems, please let us know so we can take a look and get things back on track for you.

    Thanks and sorry once again ❤️ 

    Thanks, @SChin! We will not let the @The Guildmaster know that the ramparts were breached by gremlins in the machine :)

    The Obsidian button function now includes moderator posts, as well. It didn't before.

     

    I might also take this opportunity to ask about how the Obsidian button works. It still goes to the first official Obsidian post in the thread. You guys might not remember, but back when the forums were started the function pulled all the Obsidian posts in a thread, for ease of reading those posts. Any change of getting that back, now that we have new software?

    That had been the hope - previously reinstating this was not possible. Perhaps it might be now ... @SChin thoughts?
