Hi Rob,
Welcome back to the land of the normal. A small request but one that would be immensely useful. When creating a new topic we get the ability to create Alternate Names which is very useful. In 98% of my use cases however I do not want those alternate names to be visible in the Topic list. I therefore end up going into the topic and modifying the name settings to adjust the name settings. Could we have a way to define this either: a) globally in the realm settings b) have an option in the Create New Content pane that remembers the settings used previously. This would greatly speed up data entry.

That change would spare me a lot of work, too! Supporting Calendar Campaigner Tools: Realm Works, Campaign Cartographer 3+ and Add-ons, MapTools Games: home brew world, Lord of the Rings (CODA), Shadowrun, Earthdawn |

Does anyone ever want alternate names in the navigation pane? Wouldn't the better option be to allow you to opt in to something like that rather than making it the default?

But I concur, most of the time I don't want several names for the same topic, so it would probably best to make this opt-in. |

But wouldn't that be a case where you use the true name feature for the topic? Where the topics name is The Raven and the true name is the character's true name is what ever it is. Then it shows up in nav as both and The Raven is replaced by the true name for the players when that is revealed.

I do not like the navigation pane cluttered with alternate names so I always turn it off. It would be nice if that was the default. |

But I really wish we could place alternate names in different containers, so you could have Bryce Wayne in the Bryce Corporation container and Batman in the Villains - eh - Vigilantes container. Clicking the alternate name will just open the main topic which is Bryce Wayne. Vargr Deputy Calendar Champion Legend has it, that the Tarrasque is a huge fighting beast, perpetually hungry. Sleet entered History when he managed to get on the back of a Tarrasque only to be ridden out of History shortly after. Using Realm Works, Worldographer (Hexographer 2), LibreOffice, Daz3D Studio, pen & paper for the realm World of Temeon and the system LEFD - both homebrewed. |

The major weakness here IMO is player reveal. How many people are actually using it? It was designed the way it is assuming that's how people would be using it. The majority of people to my knowledge don't use the player access so therefore it just creates more mess in the topic list.
That will likely change once player access becomes a Web site though. I'd wager most players interest is accessing the info will spike due to the increased ease of access at which time it will be important to support both ways.
