  1. I'm on that ish like white on rice.

    Heck, I am contemplating driving my own car vs riding with the beau, cos he needs to go home early for work the next morning, and I am more than interested in staying all night long!


    Incidentally, I am trying to figure out how to get one of Agge's arts made into a t-shirt for cheap. Any Seattloids know a place that won't charge an arm and a leg for a one-off t-shirt? Everywhere I've talked to wants to charge me like $40 for one shirt! GAH! I'd rather draw on a blank tee with Crayola markers!
  2. Photobucket offers a paid option as well.

    Don't forget tinypic - though you aren't guaranteed "forever hosting" with this host.
  3. I am so there. CoH is darn near the only reason I'm getting tickets to PAX this year. :x
  4. Note that if they can undelete a character, it may not be a recent backup.

    I asked them to undelete a character once (I deleted the right name, but the wrong server, LOL) - I got her back! Yay! She was about two weeks out of date, so several levels and many IOs were missing from her.

    This is correct. Essentially, you've just replaced any old information associated with that name with the new information.
  5. Is there a reason this is still stickied?
  6. It's not a bug. It's designed that way. Even if you ghost the mission and complete it, the mission text says that they miscalculated and the guys hit another laboratory (or whatever).

    You are supposed to fail, whether you fail or complete the mission.

    This is why reading is a good idea.
  7. I don't know any way to circumvent the five line limit other than the image suggestion above. It's a hard limit on the display text, no way to get around it.
  8. Don't use the built in sig loader thing. Use the [img]http://www.url.com/image.jpg[/img] text instead.

    There definitely is such a thing as a noob. Take a look at "Rude Tells" for examples.

    The OP isn't a noob, though; just a newb.

    Yes, it's called the enhancement portion. The part that actually enhances the power is the enhancement portion; the set bonuses that apply to the character are, obviously, set bonuses.
  11. I'm trying to decide whether that says "my thank" or "my thanls"... Ah, Red Skelton, writing was not your strong point...

    LOL, that's practically the definition of documentation.

    So the help files/program that come with, say, Photoshop aren't documentation? I mean, it's not on the box that it says when you hit X key or Y button, weird things will happen... You have to search for the documentation that says what X key and Y button do, along with most everything else.

  13. Get your CoH Helper and Hijack This logs, and post them in the Tech Issues forum, where more tech-minded folks can help you with tweaking.

    While in the Tech forum, take a peek at the "++ Common Solutions & Posting Guidelines ++" thread for some ... er ... common solutions.

    Mids isn't working on MxD anymore, however Steiner is actively working on his update. There is no prediction, as things have to be updated sort of from the ground, up, due to recent tweaks Mids made with the program that Steiner and his data drone were not aware of.

    Before you got too far, I wanted to point something out to you: you're direct-linking threads instead of using the forums' special codes for linking.

    Example:

    III. [URL="http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?p=578371#post578371"]ARCHETYPES, POWERSETS, POWERS, AND BUILDS[/URL]
    III. ARCHETYPES, POWERSETS, POWERS, AND BUILDS

    This link suffers from the same baditude the last forum software suffered from: You are forcibly directing someone to boards.cityofheroes.com... The boards can be accessed from all the previous URLs, not JUST this one. These forums come with their own special codes ([thread=] and [post=]) to use instead:

    III. [post=578371]ARCHETYPES, POWERSETS, POWERS, AND BUILDS[/post]
    III. ARCHETYPES, POWERSETS, POWERS, AND BUILDS

    It's also shorter.

I seem to recall most of them advise backing out by one screen then trying again and that after a few tries and only a couple of minutes they can usually make it in.

    Or maybe I'm misremembering that???
    Misremembering the steps, but not the core idea!

    If Virtue and/or Freedom is locked out and you want in, visit the character list of another server, wait a few seconds, then back out into the server list again. This refreshes the server list.

    Do this as many times as it takes for Virtue/Freedom to open up, and you can waltz on in. Wait a few seconds on each page swap (from server-list to other-server-character-list and from other-server-character-list back to server-list) so that your client doesn't puke you out to the login. Takes me, on average, 3-5 attempts, though occasionally more and occasionally less.

  19. Did you /bug in game? Devs don't take a peek here very often so to make double sure they get it, /bug it.
