Please add my very long and thorough Local Guide to the Illusion/Radiation Controller to the Guide to Guides.

(Note: This link works on the new revised forums, and the links in my sig are working, too.)


LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)
Guide Links: Earth/Rad Guide, Illusion/Rad Guide, Electric Control

All of the links (bar the last post by cannonfodder) are 404.

With the new forum, that isn't surprising. However, it would be great to have them all back again. Massive task for someone

Thanks for posting this information. So far it's great but I did notice alot of links aren't working. I'm guessing alot of this information has moved.

Before you got too far, I wanted to point something out to you: you're direct-linking threads instead of using the forums' special codes for linking.

Example:

III. ARCHETYPES, POWERSETS, POWERS, AND BUILDS
III. ARCHETYPES, POWERSETS, POWERS, AND BUILDS

This link suffers from the same baditude the last forum software suffered from: You are forcibly directing someone to boards.cityofheroes.com... The boards can be accessed from all the previous URLs, not JUST this one. These forums come with their own special codes ([thread=] and [post=]) to use instead:

III. [post=578371]ARCHETYPES, POWERSETS, POWERS, AND BUILDS[/post]
III. ARCHETYPES, POWERSETS, POWERS, AND BUILDS

It's also shorter.

Excuse me, I'm about to go off on a rant. You have a valid suggestion, but I have a bad history with this, and so... rant on:



grrrrr. No. I'm through with that nonsense. It was a royal PITA to use the old boards' special coding so that everyone went to their particular favorite URL when they clicked on a link. Those special links couldn't be edited online since they appeared on the boards as special HTML coding and not UBB coding. And the same problem will happen with the shortened 'post=' code if someone wants to copy that link to elsewhere, like a Wiki article, e.g., and it won't work and they'll have to edit it.

'coh' and 'cityofvillains' URLs take you to boards.cityofheroes.com. The mods should do the same with 'uk' and whatever other URL monstrosities that exists out there and stop supporting all these URLs as if they were separate websites since they're not. The 'fr' version doesn't even take you to a French language version nor even have the French forums open when you get to the site. All URLs are bringing you to the same exact front page with the same exact interface and skin.

This is a clear case of KISS, and it's stupid not to keep it simple. Get the mods to make all the URLs point to the main URL, or they're welcome to change all the links in the GUIDES to the special proprietary UBB code, cause I'm not bothering with that nonsense. The links I'm creating right now come from dragging and dropping the link as it appears in a thread list into the boards' own editor. This means that the board itself doesn't automatically support it's own thread linking feature.

Using the UBB 'post=' code is just a BAD IDEA since it's not a standard portable code.

There, rant done.

And... done!

All the links are updated. Everyone who posted in this thread for their guide to be added or update is also done.

As always, guides for Archetypes and Powersets and Builds are not covered in this guide. Your guides for such things get posted in this forum so they're not aged out (deleted), but the listing for such guides goes in the relevant ArcheType forum's Guide to <AT> Guides.

ZM fixed the link-list he made, which is what he could reasonably be expected to do. Links within guides are the responsibility of the person who wrote that guide, and the lists of guides are done by whoever volunteers their own time to fix them, as myself and others have done for everything except apparently Corruptors. I am slowly compiling the links for Corrs, but I'm busier than I was when I did the others so it's taking longer.

EDITZ: Corruptors and thus all the AT guide-to-guides are done, pending one last OP-update.


Character references! Artz! Whatnot!

Cuppa Jo put instructions in the Kheldian Guide sticky that we should put a link to our guide in the "Guide to Guides" thread in order for our guide to get recognized. So, here's the link:

"Alien's Complete Guide to Human-Form Warshades"

"Alien"
