Character Name change in roller

#1 Post by saalaria »

All
Don't know if it was me by accident or a bug but Kaltar has become " in the roller. I can't click on the name to amend as it doesn't appear to be there to be clickable ! Anything you can do behind the scenes to solve? Thanks

I think if you click on "My Characters" on the top of the screen, then click on the character name on the next screen you are able to edit it.

I think.
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

Cheers Ron but I actually think there is a bigger problem - the whole char sheet has been wiped/ resey to 0 ...apart from ability scores so its definitely a bug and not me! Can someone restore the previous data?

I don't know why this happened. I put the name back in, so please try to edit back the info that was lost (hopefully you can, and/or remember the info). You should be able to click on the name now. Post here with your results.

Is the name on those character sheets the primary key and when it sees a null it thinks the whole thing is null?

I would certainly hope not.

I know it never should, but can a name (or any varchar data type) even be set as a primary key?

No, each character has a unique ID that represents them in the database.

Yes, it can but yes, that's not a good idea!

I can retype stuff but is there no way just to call it back?

No, there is not. Sorry about that. I still don't know exactly what went wrong here.

Can you recreate the issue? The QA in me is dying to know.
