    I've /bugged this too. I'm running 1440x900 on a 19" widescreen monitor and they are unreadable from more than 3 inches away

  3. Wow, a marketing dude, welcome to the boards.....just be careful of the European Loungers, I can hear the pitchforks being handed out from here
  4. Yes, you can create macros in your bar to click on, but as far as I know you can't assign an icon, just some text that displays on the button.

    Probably the best place to get started is the ParagonWiki, check the section on Macros for instructions on how to create one.

    Just a note, I don't know anything about WoW macros, but here they are fairly restricted in that you can't fire a sequence of powers with just one macro, but you can do a load of useful things with them.

    P.S. a minor bit of pedantry:

    There are also Longbow Wardens (nearly irrelevant heroside), Malaise, Savage Siren (Safeguard AV), and a few redside-only AVs. Your point still stands, of course, but just for completeness sake...
    And Jack-In-Irons

    Awesome guide by the way

    Yeah, I had to nag at them for over 3 weeks to get my 51mth reward. It wasn't until I PM'd Avatea to ask if she could poke at them that I got it resolved.

    Make sure you keep at them, and if nothing happens ask the Community guys to take a look. They are here to help
  8. I've updated the ticket twice, I guess I'll try PMing one of the CM guys/gals.
  9. For the second quarter in a row my Veteran's Rewards have not been credited to my account when they should have been.

    No worries I thought, last time I just submitted a support ticket and somebody corrected it (kind of).

    This time my ticket seems to have vanished into a black hole with just a "we're escalating your ticket" reply from GM Andre over two weeks ago.

    Is anyone else having any luck getting through to Support? Are they just snowed under dealing with all the hacked Aion accounts?

    If any of the community chaps/chapesses around here could take a look it's ticket 100124-003397

  11. I can't stay logged in for more than a day, but I think it's to do with the cookie that sets the EU/NA preference.

    When you check the Remember Me box on log in the username and password cookies have an expiry of today + 1 year, but the authRegion cookie that remembers I am an EU member has an expiry of today + 20 hours. When that expires I'm kicked out again and have to log back in.

    Again, this is using Firefox 3.5, and I've given up logging in everytime....

    Mine have been like clockwork, except for the last one (48mths) when I had to log a support ticket to get it. Hopefullly the next one will be back on track....

    Just merge the sodding server lists and get it over with.
    This. They really should stop pretending they have any support for the EU now.

    Just merge the lists, let us play on all those NA servers *scratches altitus rash*

    I'd love a server list merge...the opportunity to go from 2 english speaking servers to 13 would be too much for my altitis to handle.
  15. When signing in to the boards I check the "Remember Me" checkbox so that I don't have to keep signing in.

    The problem is that it doesn't remember me for very long. Having investigated it looks like although the userid and password cookies have a life of about a year on them, the authRegion cookie that remembers the EU/NA choice has a lifespan of about 18 hours.

    When this cookie expires, the boards "forget" you and you have to log in again.

    I guess this is a customisation of the boards for our particular scenario, but can someone fix it so the cookie has a longer lifespan?

    Cheers.

    If you solve the issue, please let me know how!
  17. As far as I know it never ran on top of the game in Vista (my mate complained non-stop about this after migrating from XP to Vista) and the same with Windows 7 (I'm running WIn7 x64 RC and never managed to get it to sit over the game window)

    This might be different if you run the game windowed, I don't know - I always run full-screen. The application itself runs just fine.
  18. I have no problems logging in, but the "Remember Me" doesn't remember me for very long...

    This was why I loved my Ice tank, you're either untouchable or dead, it's such a rush!
  20. You guys should really look through Mothers_Love's store thread, some awesome shirt design's are there.

    I can't believe NCSoft never commissioned any of these

  23. I'm actually getting ridiculously excited about I16. It seems you guys are in overdrive on smoothing out the niggles and improving game-play.

    Top stuff!

  25. I've turned off signatures and images, then added the following AdBlock Plus rules:

    Code:
    http://boards.cityofheroes.com/styles/coh/gradients/*
    http://boards.cityofheroes.com/styles/coh/misc/background.jpg
    http://boards.cityofheroes.com/styles/coh/misc/logo.png
    That removes the annoying gradients that make the text harder to read and blocks the background image and the logo at the top of the page.

    Turning off images and signatures has the side benefit of making the forum more browsable on my phone as well (using Opera Mini on a SE c902)
