  1. The screenies and art forum have some of the most costume-creative people I have ever met in game. Might want to post there instead.
  2. You still retain post count on purged or mod-smacked posts.
  3. They're linking to the old forum thread numbers, which are different from the new forum thread numbers.

    The guides need to be manually updated.

    Obviously, this is a daunting task, and will take time.

    Patience. In the meantime, use the search function to look for a specific thread title, which is usually listed in the guides.
  4. Rikti War Zone, Cimerora, and the Elite Quartermaster in Grandville. I think the lady in the Midnighter Club also sells them.

    I think the Quartermasters in St. Martial might have 45's, but I am not 100% sure and I'm too lazy to search Paragon Wiki.
  5. Because of the KB/slow-resistance uniques.

    Neither does Swift or Lightning Reflexes.

    Font switched?

    The default font is Arial.

    I have no idea how you switched it, I haven't used Netscape since like 1996. :x
  7. SEARCH > Advanced Search (underneath the input box) > boggle at all the options!

  9. Are you doing AE? AE doesn't consume PXP.

    By tapping your forward button you move at a slow pace. Your ingame animation then shows you walking, not running, forward.

    Catches:
    • You personally can't see it. Everyone around you, however, can.
    • It takes alot of practice to get the correct tapping speed in order to maintain a walking animation instead of a Running/Floor Sliding animation.
    That isn't walking. That is gaming the system to make it seem - to other people - not even to yourself - that you're walking.
  11. All the old links are broken since the URLs go to the old boards' thread numbers, which are different from the new forums' thread numbers.

    Ask in the Corruptor forum. For the PVP question, you might ask in the PVP forum.

    Yes. You said you weren't sure if your thought was a question. Now you are sure it wasn't!

    My rep is disabled and I leave rep fairly frequently. (Legitimate rep plus or minus, not games with it.)
  15. Nope, but I might contribute if it's in the suggested thread/forum.
  16. I just don't see why you can't make the suggestion. Or make a new post in that forum for costume files, especially since it's more appropriate anyway.
  17. Ack, now it looks terrible!



    I have no idea how to get rid of the floating "View Post___"!



    EDIT: I just reverted it back to removing the image entirely. It doesn't break anything that I can see, the "View Post" part still shows up (and without the trailing underline!)
  18. No, loading up the boards in IE shows a broken image. A box with a red thingy in the corner, with the alt text on top of that.

    Firefox JUST shows the alt text, not the broken image behind it.

    Image:

    Blue is IE. Red is Firefox.

    EDIT: Or, um...my Firefox doesn't show the broken image. I haven't applied the fix I gave above, since I don't need it, since the image doesn't show up. O.o?

    EDIT2: I am dumb, also. I realized that my hack completely gets rid of the image call, basically, so nothing shows up. A better thing would be to supply a View Post image instead.

    EDIT3: I updated the code listed above to supply an image instead of getting rid of the image entirely.

    I did not know about noparse. Filing away for future use! *bangs head on wall*

    There is a limit of five lines, I believe I saw someone mention in one of the "issues with the new forums" threads.
  20. A shorter way of linking to a specific post is this (sigs are length-limited, after all):

    Copy the URL of the post, you'll get something like this:
    http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showpost.php?p=2088887&postcount=10
    (This is a link to UberGuy's post above mine)

    See that p=####? That's the post number. Put that inside a post= code, and you'll get a shorter link.

    [post=2088887]Viewable text here[/post]
    looks like
    Viewable text here

    Instead of having to type
    [url=http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showpost.php?p=2088887&postcount=10]Viewable text here[/url]

    Actually, we went from Patch A, to Patch B, reverted back to Patch A, and are now on Patch B2 (kind of Patch C, but really just a fixed Patch B).

    Yes, chat bug is fixed again, along with all the other tweaks in Patch B. Except the Rikti Monkey Overlord crashes.
  22. Some people have been commenting about a broken image behind the "View Post" link on quotes. I personally haven't seen them (Firefox 3.5.2 only shows a link, no image), but since it seems to be a fairly common complaint, I poked at the source and came up with a fix.

    http://docs.google.com/View?id=dcv379dz_0d6r8hcgn

    The third block of code will fix it. As with my previous two hacks, you only need to copy the top one (villain theme) OR bottom one (hero theme), unless you switch between themes.


    EDIT: I am of the dumb. Firefox doesn't show the broken image, and that fix is for Firefox/Stylish, which doesn't need the fix since it doesn't show the broken image.

    EDIT2: Has been reverted to the original block of code described above the above edit!!

    The "view post" image-thing on the quotes is just broken. Heck, it doesn't even display a broken image in my browser (Firefox 3.5.2), just a link.


    EDIT: Found a way to fix it. See this post.

  25. It's not possible to walk in-game.

    You can utilize demo editing to make it seem like you're walking, but that requires edit-fu and not-insignificant amounts of time, not to mention it doesn't do anything to your gameplay, it's only for viewing like a movie (or recording to make into a video clip)
