    Default Rolls

    I've been having difficulty making in-forum rolls work. For example:

    [ROLL]1d20[/ROLL]

    Does anybody know why this does not work for me? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    -Eonas

    The rolls will not work in the first post of a thread and will only work in the specific play by post subforums.

    Thank you for the help! However, this doesn't work either. What did I do wrong there?

    Thanks again,

    Are you previewing your posts? It won't work if you preview them.

    You cannot edit in a roll or preview your post before submission. It's currently working for me, try again.

    Ah. If I preview a post and submit it, then go back and edit the post without previewing it, and submit that, will rolling still work?

    If you want to preview, make sure to either keep a copy of the original text you posted. Going back after previewing sometimes works but don't depend on it.

    I have never, ever, ever, ever, ever... etc. been able to preview a post that I've tried to roll something and had the roll work, so I would suggest not doing it.
    What you can do is after you've submitted the post with out preveiwing it is go back and edit the post without messing with the [roll 0] that shows up and add what ever you wanted to say after that. I've done that several times when my actions depended on what I rolled.
