If you reset currently it offers you all the alts on the list, but any of the 'new' ones you click on it makes a big red box saying NO! but sends you back to the same page. I had to guess which ones were legal.

Yeah, part of the auto-rotator script is to remove expired icons from the list. It would probably have helped if I'd remembered to add a check on the expiry date when displaying them on the altmodes page and upgrade list, for those alts which expire between runs.

The alts should have been taken out of the list by the auto-rotator script, but I didn't turn it on because I had my hands full with cleanup from the new user systems and forum crash. I'd added the check on expiry time to actually equipping the alts, just not to displaying them.

Long story short. If you wanta try a little differnt setup on you new alt modes don't, because you can't choose those altmodes dated 29 Jan 07. Unless you wish to loose them...

Man that sucks, oh well. I shoulda been paying attion... :sad:
