The text was my guess too - I was just working on progressively adding a little to it until I hit the error and had isolated it to the end of the second para, so my guess is the "-mo's" in the last sentence. But then I got a brief delay and guessed you'd updated something!

Still getting the timeout on my normal IP though - is that a temporary thing and I just have to wait out some block period?



Yah most likely. I didnt look to see how long the timeout was for on your ip. If it continues to be problematic after a few days, I can clear out the security jails for you (or maybe just remove your ip from the jails).

@Glyph ... the HMW dashboard section was restored back to how it was. The errors should be resolved or at least mostly cleaned up. If you find more errors, please post in the HMW problem reporting thread (this one). Thanks!

Thanks Ryan, looking good. :)
(Was aiming to keep staff stuff separate from the public thread, but I'll use this thread going forward.)

Oh, and the timeout from the 403 thing above resolved within 24 hours, FWIW.

I've been noticing that my Bots aren't lining up by level in The War Room anymore. My level 8 (highest level) Bot is in the middle or bottom rather than being first. As is my second highest.

As per Ryan's post from March:
The characters appear in order of how they are activated and then you can manually change the sort order however you would like by using the little left and right arrows.

I see that once they are active. That isn't an option when they are not activated. So all twelve of my Bots are out of order when not active.

Also those arrows aren't working for me once they are active

We have to shift them around when they're active ( a bit of a chore) but they should retain that position once they come out the other side of a mission (using the deactivate feature WILL mess it up).

That could just be the gaps between their positions. If one of your other bots would sit in a position between two your trying to change, it looks like it hasn't done anything. You have to keep hitting that direction arrow.
