Place the "actions" outside the tags. Only the 2d6 is inside the dice tags.

The steps are the following:
1) Press the “Post” button
2) Write everything you want for example:
I roll 3d6
3) Mark the “3d6” with your mouse and press the “dice” button on the post editor
4) Press the “Submit” button
5) If the dices are invisible it is a bug. Press the button to “edit” the post
6) re-write 3d6, mark the “3d6”, press the “dice” and press the “Submit” button again

Highlighting the dice text and adding the tag is a good method. I'll add it to the instructions in the first post. Thanks.

I got it to work, but man - movement was good, but I would get slaughtered if I was
actually fighting something right now. Yikes.

still cant get it to work right...
So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.
