okay, but how do i search for posts with certain tags, like lets say i am looking for gaes that are currently recruiting, how do i do that as an potential player?

i am soup, with too many ideas (all of them very spicy) who has made sufficient homebrew material and character to last an thousand human lifetimes
im new to PbP so wanted to ask something: if I want to do an action, should i only describe what I want do and wait for the DM to ask me to do a check? OR should i describe it AND preemptively roll and post that as well?

depends on the DM, but since in this format of play there are long wait times between posts, it's normally suggested to describe intent during your post and roll any related rolls in the same post. doing this expedites the game and gives the DM more to work with. if they don't agree with your intent they'll normally ask you to update what you wish to do.
I'm putting a lot of images on postimages.org for my current campaign, which is published, and imagine a lot of other DMs are posting a lot of the same imagery. Is there an initiative to create an image library on postimages or perhaps on this site? Not only could we save each other a lot of work, but a lot of drive space as well.

Putting this here as much for myself as for you or anyone else. It can be annoying to look through the first 3+ pages of threads to find the first one that's recruiting.

Just noticed the "Filter by Prefix" drop down at the bottom of the page! That's SUPER helpful!
D&D Beyond offers the ability to link certain aspects on the forum in mouse-over triggered tooltips, such as magic items, monsters or combat actions - examples being Adult Black Dragon and dash. To create tooltips in this way as these, use the appropriate [tag][/tag] around the desired subject.
Example: [ magicitem]sunblade[/ magicitem] (Without spaces within the [ ] brackets.)
Idea for a tool tip: In previous games on other forums we would have a character status line to provide crucial details regarding the character. Here is an example from my days on the paizo forums:
Male Dwarf Barbarian1 Max HP 9 | AC 13, touch 8, flat-footed 13 | Fort +1, Ref -2, Will +1 | Init -2 Perc 5
What if we had something similar here, like [status]Robar Cancion[/status] that would give a pop up tool tip of the character's current status, like a mini character sheet for him, similar to what the monster tag does for monsters.

Is it intended for finished/abandoned games/threads? I see some in process that have the Closed tag but I think it should be Private. Is that correct?
