    Log onto the main site and change your password. You can immediately change it back, too, and it should work.

    Right click the City of Heroes application and select "show package contents"

    Navigate to Contents/Resources/transgaming/c_drive/coh/logs/game. The chatlog files are stored by date.

Several of them have been long abandoned by their creators, but are kept alive regardless.

    I used to be vaguely distrustful of 'Titan' sites because of the mildly corporate groupthink vibe it gave off, but later I found out that it's all volunteer run. It wasn't until the wiki moved over that I really took a look, and it turns out that these days it has a good crew running things.
    Titan Network also allows for 1 username and password across the various sites. It was a bit more obvious when the City Game Tracker (online/offline character tracker) and the City Info Terminal (badges) were actually two separate sites, and you could potentially use SuckerPunch's Online Planner (in the time before Mids) and CoH Faces (mini-social network created before we really knew what social networks were). After a while, the Titan guys incorporated the two sites together into the current "City Info Tracker" site.

    The wiki itself was actually a later addition into the full network, I think after all the stuff with the Wikia folks went down.

    If you only go to the wiki, and don't do any badge tracking or use the build planners, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't really know about it.

Some of these are as simple as sending a malformed URL allowing you to execute code on the hosting server, others are more convoluted but can easily be automated.
    Yeah, I'm guessing that it was probably something with the copy of SMF. Last I saw, it was running 1.1.10, though there may have been more components that were up-to-date.

    Titan ran (runs?) a few modifications that were(are?) directly embedded into the php pages to display the various Titan links on the profile page, the custom images for the subforums, along with the code to hook into the Titan Auth table. It was a bit of legacy code that wasn't ever fixed (at least before I left), but we tried upgrading what pieces we could when possible.

    We were also waiting for SMF to release version 2, as it was a significant update to the software, but the official release kept being delayed for whatever internal SMF reasons.

    Perhaps we can than Tony monetarily for his hard work.

    Edit: although I might have to wait for the site to come back online before I can donate, not having a direct link.
    donations@cohtitan.com is the address that I had in past emails, though I don't know if there was anything special that needed to be done for donation.

    There is also the product placement aspect as well.
    I was trying to make my way through season 4, and they still had the City of Villains boxes on the shelves. They were right behind one of the actors, too

    The NCLauncher works just fine on both of my machines running OS X.

    What issues are you having? What type mac are you running? How old, what hardware, OS Version, etc? Where/how have you been working on trying to get this working? I'm not seeing any posts in your history about this, so I've got no clue what you've tried.

    As cuppa mentioned, if you are repairing files, it tracks each file individually. It took maybe 30-45 minutes to update my client via the copy method.

    But test the launcher anyway.
    Test server has separate account settings from Live. This is one of the reasons why you have to wait around 24 hours for access to be restored if your account is ever lapsed.

    Anyway, yes. Mac pack, as mentioned. $9.99.
    The "Mac Edition" wasn't a retail box, so it makes sense that the Apple Stores wouldn't. It just had a Product Key and link to the patcher. The first retail edition to include the Mac client was the Architect Edition

    Razer Naga

    I don't use the naga to it's full potential, and I may never, but I like that I can have a few commands at my finger tips.

    How do I set it up so that the naga buttons will perform X actions and the keyboard number keys Y actions? I like using my number keys for attacks, but I like to have a few things under my thumb for Oh Crap moments.
    You can enable a special "Razor Naga" power tray by going into the options screen. It gives you a 3x3 box that corresponds to the various buttons. From that point, you can drag macros or power icons to execute them.

    CoH/CoV Novel?

    Two questions:

    1. How long is this arc?
    2. How did you get such low MA numbers?
    When I ran it in the i14 beta, it was a single mission.

    And the low number means that it was probably transferred to live on launch day of I14

    It is applying the patch, not downloading the entire game. The "Applying" process always shows the entire game's size.

    Also, make sure that you don't have any windows stacked on or under the badge window. It tends to get confused (esp with the Auction window)

    MapMaster was the original owner of VidiotMaps and Badge-*****[now Hunter], I believe.

    Auto switch?

    Does the tip and mission disappear with the event? Do they disappear when switching moralities? I know that the Snaptooth missions are still available when it isn't the Valentine's Day event. You just have to unlock DJ Zero before it ends.

    It seems to me that since there isn't a contact for this, and as long as you don't lose the tips by becoming a tourist, you should be able to hold onto it, then run the mission whenever you make it back to a hero.

    Is this the intended behavior? I already have the equivalent hero badge so I don't get the distinct vill badge (Crey, Grandville, etc).
    You need to be a full Villain, not just a Vigilante to earn the day job badges.
