Well,I am getting used to the new forums,just took a bit of time.
I believe our children are our future and I reflect on the lessons and values we taught them.
I believe the world has many real Villains,what we need are more Heroes.

I'd say either Niv or Ocho would be the ones to contact... I'll try contacting Ocho to let him know about Brutes, since I did that one (you beat me to Scrappers.
), and see if I have any luck.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

If these old posting numbers cannot be fixed, is there a way to just discard any old posts that do not point to a posting number that exists? Yes, CuppaJo and ExLIb, etc. did greate posts, but if these cannot be brought back easily, then clip them and let others create new Guides, Op's, etc. to fill there places; Better than a 404.

This wouldn't be an issue if we could edit them in there, but we can't. Attempts on my part to get redname attention have been unsuccessful thus far (one would be needed either to edit the new links into the old first posts or to sticky a new thread), so if anyone knows who the heck is responsible for such things feel free to point them in the right direction... people who can't find guides ATM would appreciate it. |
We could easily create new OPs, yes. Thing is we still need one redname or another to sticky them so they don't fall off the bottom of the boards and make people wonder where the heck the guides went. Most of the links have been fixed, it's just got to the point where unless someone has some wacky new idea that we haven't thought of yet, we simply need either an edit to the existing OPs or a sticky-tag for a new one. Both of which we can't do ourselves. Thus, waiting for rednames, which is where we are now. We'll get there, one way or another, just needs a touch of patience now.
Character references! Artz! Whatnot!

I do, but I miss the feature on the old forums where I could check a box to preview all posts before a final submit. Now I have to remember myself, which is certainly not the end of the world, but it's an extra step I have to make sure to do now which I didn't have to before.

The were faster to load and easier to thread. The more fancy features you put into a forum the slower it goes..I'm curious to see if these are easier to maintain.

My only question is why doesn't the Developer's Corner section work. That is where I went for all my info. Now all the links are broken.
Is there someplace new I should be heading?
Thanks

You have to be kidding me. Give them some time at least. Everything was ported over "as-is" from one program to another. You have to expect issues at the beginning. Broken links is one of them.

Unless, of course, you aren't the author of the first post, in which case I understand.
