  1. Since when are comics not art? Don't tell that to the comics industry.

    I like Hell, Michigan, myself.

    Hell freezes over every year.

    I have a shotglass from there. (I collect shot glasses. I don't drink alcohol. I still haven't figured out why I decided to collect shot glasses.)
  3. On the back burner so far several of us doubt it'll ever see the light of day.

    Of course, several of us thought power customization would never happen, so nobody really can say yes or no. We're not the developers.
  4. Type something, highlight it, then hit the URL button and submit a URL. It'll put your URL in and have your highlighted text turn into your link text.

Still, the bb code. smilies and IMG reference pages down there make up for that.

    This changes your post box into something more like what the old forums had, though of course not exactly, so there's still stuff to get used to. But it has a URL button and etc.
  6. I'ma vote for Projectionist...Lousy_Day gets a REALLY close second.

    I giggled pretty good at Shia's.

    City does not utilize more than two cores.

    If you use resource-heavy programs in the background while playing City (like Photoshop or watching a movie or something), then more than two cores is an OK choice. If you only play City while playing City, you won't need more than two cores.

    This may change in the future, plus there are games being written/released with four cores in mind, though no REQUIREMENT of four cores yet.
  10. Try editing the shortcut of your updater to force the game to use a certain port. The port options are:
    * 6994
    * 13094
    * 23094

    It would look like this:
    "C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\CohUpdater.exe" -port 13094

    To do this, right click your shortcut and hit Properties. In the "Target:" line, that's where you put the " -port #" part. (The space before the dash is important! And the quotes in the right place are important!)
  11. Ummm, I see the image in your signature...

    (I subsequently adblocked it, but it's nothing personal. :x )

    Do you know if they're going to provide an automated number conversion from old to new? That' seems very unlikely.
    I'm saying that eventually, a new guide to guides will be written with current links. Not that the CR people will rewrite the old guide. LOL

    They're not going to let all those guides sit unlinked. It's only the second day of the new boards!! GIVE IT TIME!

    Have you tried using the special-character replacement (%7e) for the tilde (~)? For example:

    I do love to looky-loo though. We have some really impressive artists 'round these parts.

    This doesn't completely solve the OP's problem... the forums are not actually expanded like they are when you click the "English" link, which is more like the old forums' function.
  16. I'm not having any problem with this, and I've seen it mentioned many times. Every time I've hit my back button (Firefox 3.5.1), it's taken me back to where I was before loading the subforum/post.
  17. Give it time. This is still the break-in period. I'm sure the links will be fixed eventually.

    HOWEVER...disabling images disables images in posts AND signatures, which is not what the OP wants. The OP wants to see images in posts, but not in signatures. This is currently not possible. It's either all or nothing (all signatures, including images; none. all images, including signatures; none.)

    [EDIT: For now, the only way to get rid of images in signatures is some form of adblock, which I've been using liberally. The downside is you still have to load the images the first time, and everything has to be adblocked separately, but at least you'll only see it once.]

  23. 3. PLEASE NOTE...ID and Personal Info only show your SECURITY (heroes)/THREAT (villains) level...only another character can tell you your COMBAT level if you have leveled up or are sidekicked or exemplared or whatever. Your SECURITY/THREAT level only changes when you go speak to a trainer and get new slots/powers. Your COMBAT level changes when you ding, and when you sidekick/exemplar.
  24. They don't spawn enemies. They're just have ridiculous buckets and buckets of HP. Which was OK when they used to give metric butt-tons of XP, but now they give nothing and their HP wasn't reduced.
