How do I \find my player's handbook to read sections? The search function is userless to me. How do i access the rules that i bought? I found my charaacters. It's a PITA but at least I found it. All-in-all, a reallyt bad change to the interface but if I can at least find things, I won't feel the need to rage quit all WotC content. lol
To be clear, the landing page has changed. Now it has a giant series of ads, then a couple of tile links for creating characteers or browsing the markeetplacee, then some articles I don't care about. But what it doesn't have are the previous tiles that gave me access to characcters or my library. I found the characters and most of this content in the menu in the upper right that shows my login name.
The following in the menu:
Profile Account Redeem a Key Threads Campaigns Characters Homebrew Subscribe Sign Out
They're talking about the horizontal menu at the top of the screen, just below where the search bar is. It has links such as "Collections", "Game Rules", "Sources", "Tools", etc. The one labeled "Sources" is where you access digital books. Nothing has changed about this recently.
I no longer have access to Collections or Nice Dice AT ALL. I have agonized over this ..... Let me submit a screenshot. I am using the Google browser.
Well - I can't even do that - Collections is not at the top of my home page .... my subscriptions also, no options for nice dice - very hard to get to my library - its very confusing - and everyone I play with can easily access their connections, but not me. Its simply not on my home page.
Why?

I figured mine out. I am getting older and I have vision issues. I set the font size to one setting above default. It causes that entire bar to disappear. Hurray for accessability! (sarcasm)
The site doesn't support a dark mode, which nearly blinds (my eyes are light sensitiveand I have to lower the brightness to minimum and squint) and increasing the font size is unsupported. I am wondering if they will add code that reaches out and pokes my eyes out in order to get a trifecta?
Edit: to be clear, the character builder and a lot of the sources content seems to use a largely bright white background image that no dark mode product or setting can cope with. The character sheet view does have some backgrounds that are dark and is useable. But making a new character or reading adventure module content is needlessly painful.

ModeratorWhat changes are you referring to specifically? Character sheets have always been found in the main menu under Collections > My Characters.
Books can likewise still be found in the main menu under Sources. You can click “View All” there for the full list.

Maybe I am missing something. That entire bar is gone for me.
Maybe try it in another browser? It's likely to be an extension misbehaving or something.

Do you get the same issue in another browser or on another device?
