Whenever you have the chance, it'd be nice to:
- Fix the invalid identifier error preventing characters from installing armor.
- Grant admin rights again to someone(s) so the weapons supply can be restocked and alt modes made available again.
Edit: Forgot to mention this. Being able to just click on the character box itself is a nice change, but trying to activate/de-activate the old-fashioned way (the checkbox) doesn't do anything now.

Click on the bot's name box to select it (changes colour) rather than the checkbox itself - for whatever reason that doesn't currently work. Then hit Activate and you should be good.

Seibertron changed how your characters are activated the other day. You can now click anywhere in the
character box to activate it, though this has had the side-effect of rendering the checkbox itself unresponsive.

This has been fixed. Thank you for letting me know about the problem.

No problem. ALL of you, HMW fans and the rest of SEIBERTRON will be getting a Silver Age does of infused Energon very, very soon.
If anyone wants to be part of the BETA testing of the Silver Age of SEIBERTRON ... just let me know and I'll add you to the group as long your account is in good standing.

It's been mentioned about the armor issue. Something I would bring up is rotating the alt modes. Not sure if they are now but I seem to remember there being more alts available

The rotation system has been broken for a long time. Even if there were any HMW admins left (which there aren't), I doubt any alt-modes could be manually switched in either.

"Somehow, ..."
Brought up in
the general site problems thread too - apparently a conflict between different versions of the site running simultaneously. It started working again for a couple of hours last night, then regressed.

I deleted all of the missions that had unknowns. I also put some logic into the battle script that should hopefully re-queue a mission if no winner was determined. There were a few different issues that happened that caused this. Yes, the site's version control is basically what screwed this up. Hopefully I resolved it properly. I also deleted all of the missions that were unknowns. There were about 5,000 or so out of 375,000. Please let me know if you encounter any other errors after the changes I made tonight. Thanks.
