When using a mobile phone to post you need to go to the check the 'desktop site' box which on my android phone there are three dots a the upper right-hand corner that gives a dropdown with various options like new tabs, bookmark, history... and desktop site. This will change the view and allow you to add spoiler box, use dice roller and other menu functions, etc. as you do on a laptop. At least that is how works on Android, I cannot speak for iPhone I imagine there something similar there. Hope that helps...

Sorry for the really stupid question, but I’m new to the site and was wondering what the difference between the Public and Recruiting tags since both designate a game available to join. Is the Public tag to be used for a new game recruiting members for the first time and Recruiting for an existing game needing new players?

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

With the Public tag, you say to the other users that the thread is open to the public, whether it is a recruiting thread or a game thread.

1. Is there any thought being given to adding a new tag for PbP games to distinguish the "Always recruiting" games from other, more traditional start-to-end games? When looking at the list of "Recruiting" games, it is sometimes difficult to filter out all the "Always recruiting" sorts. Edit: I know the "Public" tag in combination with the "Recruiting" tag sort of covers this, but I think it is unclear to both DMs and players that they should/could do this, and technically, you can't filter on two tags at the same time.
2. I'd love to see the Filter by tag function moved up to the top of the screen, above the lists of posts, instead of the bottom, below them. I think more people would use this functionality, and there's a spot for it to fit...
Longtime DM, but i'm new to DND Beyond and PBP. I love the functionality of the site and having everything, character sheets, dice roller and game thread all in the one place. Great job!
Question: in the PBP campaign that I've just started running, the player posts don't seem to auto-update on the game thread as they're posted, i.e. our own replys go into the thread as soon as they're posted, but to see other peoples posts, you need to refresh the page. Is this a glitch that we're experiencing or something that I'm not doing right? Thanks.

I own a players handbook, is there a way to get the content of the book on here without paying again?

Are we ever sure that we exist? Do we have feelings? Or are we just NPC's designed to think highly? If so what is our purpose? Why are we here? Who are the players? Or are there Players?
Could you add how the alternate text syntax for tool tips works?
Yes, this please. Or a link to all the basic action categories/types, i.e. initiative, ability checks, bonus actions, etc.

@codesterv2 Umm no. That’s how this site makes money. By offering a digital version that can work with their platform. Your not paying for the content your paying to have it available here to use with their service.
Could you please tell me (or point me to a source) that allows one to use tags to differentiate actions from bonus actions, actions from something like an initiative roll, or a class feature, e.g. bardic inspiration. Thanks in advance.

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.)
How do you insert a spoiler on mobile? Cuz I'm on my phone a lot and don't really have all the toolsets on there I think ?

OOC: I haven't been able to figure that out either yet,I've only been able to do it on my pad or laptop but not on my phone.

I've also found on Android running Chrome that putting the phone in landscape mode will also give you access to the text box toolbar.
Hej, are Adventures In Middle Earth acceptable here? it's 5e, but with custom setting and some custom rules ;-D

Thank you for the clarification :)

ey/em/eirs, or they/them works, too (just not he).
Role-playing since that keep on those borderlands. I love it so.

As far as I know the general category of available tags is still that listed in the first post of this thread.
