Good day Devs,

As it was mentioned in another post, there is currently not an official way to vote on suggestions for updates on the program.

I had an suggestion that I think others might like to see too, but I know I do for sure.

One of the things I *LOVE* is the ability to put pins for links of information or encounters or even info the players can click on.
What I wanted to suggest is having the ability to color code the pins.
An example:
- Red for notes and stories
- Blue for player information (seeable by the players)
- Yellow - Encounter
- Purple - etc
- Black - etc

Having color coded pins would be super helpful. I know we can put encounters in stories and such, but sometimes upon entry to a room/area there is an instant encounter. It would be beneficial (visually) to see that there is an encounter pin.
I have a situation where I have a room, it has all the details in the story, but there are 6 different encounters in that single room. I would love to have each of the encounters as their own pin and the story its own pin. Having them all the same color sort of bleck.

Just a thought.

The new vote system is in play now and your idea is on the list for colored pins.

I have a somewhat related question regarding pins. I can now see a "tooltip" when hovering over a pin. Is this new or have I just been oblivious to the fact it was there all along? I love that feature because I like doing overland maps with no writing on them. Now I can see what the pin is for without having to open it!!!!

It's always been there for DMs and for players with whom you have shared a pin and shared whatever the pin is linked to.

Wow!!! Sometimes I am oblivious to the most obvious things, lol.
