This thread is for posting Guide or FAQ links for Controllers. Please create your guides in the "Player Guides" forum (since posts in that section do not roll off) and link the thread here. Also, do not post your guide in this thread - only the link to your guide. For non-Controller guides, check the master list of all Guides in the Guide to Guides.

Failing any clear identifier from the poster, I will go by the original post date vs. Issue releases (I1: 6/30/04, I2: 9/17/04, I3: 1/5/05, I4: 5/5/05, I5: 9/1/05, I6: 10/28/05) - e.g., if it was posted in March/05, it is an I3 Guide.

Guides appearing here were gleaned from links posted in one of the "Guide to Guides" threads (the Controller GtG or the GtG threads in the "Player Guides" forum). We cannot sift through the hundreds of individual threads to find a posting, so be sure to 1) place your guide in the "Player Guides" forum, nowhere else and 2) post a link to it in a "Guide to Guides" thread!

Cool.

Might want to see about adding some returns or something. Most of the sentences seem to be running off of the right hand side of the page. Making it very hard to read.

Wow, that was a very tough update. The old one was still on the <a href> code, so I spent a while recoding the entire thing to the [url= code.

I also took away random spaces and enter marks, added Issue numbers that weren't there, and added some new guides.

Please let me know if you have any problems with links.

Nice work, Camo.

I feel bad for mentioning this now... but you could have made it a lot easier pasting it into notepad and using the Find & Replace option. Probably done all that recoding in a few minutes. Next time, maybe?

Well, retyping the entire thing was good for my fingers...

OP has been updated.

Camo, the html tags happen once I post because I have settings that allow for both.

It is a good idea to keep a saved file for you to update on your end with new guides that filter in, also I normally remove the portion of the address from url= to /showflat so that the guide will show up as Villain and Hero friendly.

So effectively putting in an address of url=/showflat(cut at end of first numbers) will net you the guide url in whatever version the other user is logged in and viewing from.

The only case where this won't work is if you are using the links outside of our boards, in which case you need the boards.cityofheroes or boards.cityofvillains for links like that to work properly.

Let me know if you have additional questions and thanks for the updates.

Ex
