New layout!

Came out surprisingly nice. I was a bit worried there.
Is it just me, or did they change it a little? Penny's face looks less, um, visually un-apealing.


Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

That's supposed to be Penelope Yin?

I thought it was Mirror Spirit with a new outfit, or something.

Villains layout still shows Statesman and Clockwork.

Try clearing your cache; the villain skin comes up with Penny and Shadowhunter when I switch to it.

It's the new grown-up Penny Yin - she's now in her early 20s, has joined the Freedom Phalanx, and has a new TF in IP to replace the old Sister Psyche TF - she also stars in part one of SSA2, coming soon to the live servers.

Have to admit that's been the case for me for a while now, too. I just like it non-busy looking.

(Incidentally, Penny's "I'm so happy to be here!" face was being cut off by my scroll bar.)
Yeah, I've AdBlocked the CoH backgrounds at work. Player avatars are generally small enough that I'm not too worried about someone seeing them, but if I have a browser window with a huge CoH background plastered on it, it just doesn't look good.

I'll see it a little later when I get home, though.


We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)

@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!

the nice thing is I need the Psyche TF, but now I'll get to do the new one and I bet a ton of people are doing it so it should be easy to find one.

It's also way faster

I was all "What new forum layout...? It looks the same to me."

Here's my user stylesheet for covert browsing from work:

Code:
@-moz-document domain("boards.cityofheroes.com") {
  body { background: black !important; }
  img[src="styles/CoH/misc/logo.png"] { width: 0px !important; height: 0px !important; }
  img[src="/styles/global/images/paragon-logo.gif"] { width: 0px !important; height: 0px !important; }
  img[src="/styles/global/images/ncsoft-logo.gif"] { width: 0px !important; height: 0px !important; }
  div#posts img { opacity: 0.05; }
  div#posts img:hover { opacity: 1.0; }
  div.page { width: 100% !important; }
}
Besides removing the logo and background, and forcing the page width to fill the browser, it also makes images such as avatars and signatures 95% transparent. Hovering the mouse over one allows viewing of the image.

My Heroes does too, but I haven't cleared cache today.

So wait... they put up a poll that asks us which option they want us to go with... and then end up publishing the one that LOST by a huge margin?

I feel like SGT. Schultz.

"I see NOTHING!"


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

The little image thing, isn't very good.

Instead of the heroic dashing towards each other for a fight, they are both fleeing from each other.

Unfortunatly that means they are both fleeing the City of Heroes sign.

I'm suprised marketing didn't pick up on that little PR flaw.

They're being forced to retreat to a safe distance from the sheer awesomeness radiating from the CoH logo.

You see nothing, and know you are not seeing something?
No.

I said exactly what I meant to say.

Don't try to toss a TV Tropes link that isn't relevant.



I see NOTHING because there is no banner on my screen. I'm not failing to notice something obvious or important. The reference to SGT. Schultz was due to quoting one of his most used lines in the show.

Perhaps you are the one suffering from some type of trope.

Just tried it on FF and it came up fine. What version are you using

Any chance you're using a plugin like Stylish to customize your forum appearance? I see a number of images not showing on your scree, but the "new reply" image shows, so its not just a matter of blocking images...


I used to use "stylish" on chrome to re-skin the boards to appear more like a tech support bulletin board. Helps when unexpected visitors swing by the office...

You missed the point Chase. I WANT to see NOTHING.

It is intentional.

It matters not what they change the forum images to, I won't see them by my choice.

thought that may be the case, but wasn't 100% sure.

I've been tinkering with the CoH forum skins for years. Besides my "tech support" one, I used to have one to replace my characters emulating the pose of the mail characters in the background. (my sig banner, which you probably don't see was from back when the pre-freedom background was up).

I always intended to make more sigs images with my characters standing, but the Statescrotch shot made that idea come to an abrupt end.
