I'm asking not because of some "Chrome is better than Firefox" thing (because I use Firefox) but because I found some functions in the Control Panel don't work in Firefox but work perfectly in Chrome.

Nah, I figured wasn't about what browser's better, but I do have Opera. Will tell you if I can or can't put my guys in CR-- I set it back to manual for this round --on that.





Edit:
Nope, won't work in Opera either...

I can't remember, did the Control Panel work for you on Opera or did you have to switch to Chrome?

If I had access to this area of the panel, I'd attempt to help you troubleshoot it. Otherwise, just let me know if you'd like me to test something.

It works fine when I have auto cr on... it's when I switch to manual, they just stay damaged/dead and cr refuses to accept them through the cr page. Doesn't take my energon though.

no point in swapping to manual for me otherwise.

edit: could use a heal on first aid + flareblitz please.

Is this the same for you zorian? Manual CR not working but Auto does?

Nevermind. The Greenies came out okay. Next two Cons went in to the CR chamber as per normal; one as damaged, the other as SL'ed

Burn, correct.

They go into the CR chamber just fine on AutoCR but not on manual. This just started. I had them on manual for couple days just fine.

I've been monitoring a bug for a little over a week now and decided it was time to post it here.

The Autobot alt rotation is not functioning correctly, which may cause complications for upcoming event planning (among other things).

- "Core" and "Rare" are visible to players, but "Common" alts are not visible to players.

- According to the panel, "Common" alts are being rotated just fine. There is no obvious indication that they should not be visible.

- The alt "BW Dinobot" still remains visible, despite being "Common". It never rotates out.

I made a thread to verify other Autobot players were having the same issue.

Any and all assistance with this matter is very much appreciated.

The error has been fixed. Manual CR is now working properly. Had nothing to do with browsers, was an error introduced by me a couple of weeks ago when I got rid of the separate database table for Player Energon, and switched the table name of the Players database table from singular to plural, which follows my standard naming scheme instead of the one used by previous HMW programmers. I thought I had caught all of the places in the code of the old database table name but oddly missed one instance. Urgh. Sorry about that everyone!

I noticed one other common alt shows up, the giraffe. So all is not lost.

Unfortunately, the glitch seems to have wiped out most of the medic alts.

I activated the giraffe as a test and am monitoring it. Need to figure out the best way of reactivating them based on what happens with it at the next alt rotation.

This isn't a bug. Burn or Wingz changed the date availability for alt modes via the new tool I built. It's probably something that needs to be clarified in the admin tool. To be honest, I didn't know what the dates did in the programming when I built the admin tool so the HMW admins didn't know what the dates did. Once the availability dates are changed, the alt modes will begin showing up again.

Only for new alts we added did the dates change. If any old ones were changed it would have been for testing this alt mode rotation thing (Wingz has a much better understanding of it than I)

Figured since it came up here and not just in Iacon I'd see if I could get a response here too...

Any progress on getting the Bot Alts rotating again? I've been waiting for some of the common ones to come back so I don't have to waste time & energon on armoring up Alts I don't want.

It's also a bit of a bugger cause I had this idea for an Alt hunt over Thanksgiving that I couldn't do since the Alts were unavailable.

I don't know what Psych has in store for the next event but if it's anything to alt hunting the Bots are gonna have issues. (not to mention any of my future Bot-Only contests...)
The opinions expressed in this post are well-reasoned and insightful.
Needless to say, they are not those of SEIBERTRON.COM, its staff members, or any other site lackeys.
Anyone who says otherwise is itching for a fight.
