A quick primer on making a character public:
First, you can tell whether your own character is public by going to the Character Library and typing in the name of the character that may or may not be public. If the character shows up there, it's public. If it doesn't, it's NOT.
How do you make a character public? Click/tap on the "Characters" link in the top nav (appears at the top of every page on Gamers Plane), then select "All Characters." You'll be taken to a page listing all of the characters you've made. For each one, there are a series of four icons on the right: a gear, a pencil, a book, and an X. If the book is RED, that means the character IS public. If the book is grey, that character IS NOT public.
In the picture above, the character on top is NOT public, but the character underneath IS public.
Right now, as I check this, the following characters who are/were part of this campaign are public:
Adran
Elysia
5e2014 Faith
Gunter Gotrekson
Morik
Princess (though it is my recreation of the character; GC systematically deleted all of his characters when he quit the site)
These characters are NOT public:
Bramlin Braveless
Elowin
Eozindra
Ishi
Woody the Kid
The reason I encourage characters to be public in play-by-post is that the rate of posting is so much slower that people can forget which characters do what/did what/have what/are capable of what. Removing an impediment to knowing that reduces some of the delay inherent in PbP: if a person on your team can look up something about your character, then there doesn't have to be time (days) spent on a discussion asking for those details.
But it is an encouragement; no one is required to make their PCs public.
I'll be posting the first part of chapter four later today.

That campaign tracker is wonderful.
Question are feats allowed at level 4 or are they completely banned?

I like the campaign tracker, too. The special abilities that the party has acquired haven't really been used so far; does anyone have any suggestions on how we could remember those unlocked abilities in play?
As for Feats, we're not using Feats in this game. It's an optional rule in 5e (or at least it is in the 2014 version that we are using in this campaign). We have a list of 5e optional rules we are using in this game; Feats is not on the list.
