Cron jobs are up and running, run wild, any problems post 'em here and we'll pass them on to Ryan.

Thank Ryan. He hasn't had much sleep the last few days.
For those who are "upset" with the site being down, take it from someone who's been here for a number of years. On average the site might go down once a year, and when it does it rarely takes more than 2-3 days to bring it back online.
Oh and look! Results!

The site will still be a little slow for a while too as Ryan is still processing stuff.
If you see any NON-HMW errors, use the bug reporting thread in GD.

No I know what its like to run a website. I use to work for an ISP to earn money while I was in high school and college. I can fully appreciate his time and effort over the past few days.

Consider it fixed, I have deleted the offending character, sorry it took so long to sort out.
Please send me a PM as soon as you have re-created it so I can give you the XP it had earned back again.
For the record: its name was Windblade Zero and it had 315xp.
Anyone else still having this trouble?

I think 4 years might be a bit of an exaggeration.

i only remember that the allspark power figures have just hiten the shelves (sorry my english im lazy right now to correct everything)
how can i recreate the "robot" when the blackbird sr-71 isnt in the possible alternate modes anymore?
ok i suppose i'll use another jet mode

I can't seem to activate any of my guys. I made sure that I clicked the activate box and tried both individual and six at a time, several times, but no go. They're all stuck at 'inactive'.

Was Firefox, but I think the cookies were shot on that computer. Works fine on mine, thanks. Sorry for the false alarm.

Looks like the xp calculator is broken... i can't get any special tactics to load when an alt mode is chosen, and it doesn't add up any xp at all.
Not browser dependent: I tried it on Chrome and on Internet Explorer, calculator doesn't work properly on either.

Re: Bug Reporting Thread
This works for me in FF/Chrome/Opera/IE and Safari, although safari seems glitchy. Good thing I don't use it.
AD I have a basic calculator in excel that I have made. If you want I can mail it to you when I get home.

_Anshin_, yes please, very kind, would be very handy indeed. I'll pm you my e-mail.
Just tested it again, still no luck...
I'm not getting any change for:
- Experience spent
- Number of upgrades
- Level
Perhaps it's certain restrictions here at work and not browser-related, but that would seem very strange to me. Curious, anyhow.

At home now: I've tried the XP Calculator on Firefox AND on iPhone's Safari but in both cases the Calculator is still not working properly
Here's what I'm seeing:

Perhaps a character-based problem?

I'm getting the same. Its not actually calculating the XP and level, or allowing you to add tactics to a build.
Ill get someone to email Ryan and see if he has made any changes to the site that may have had a knock-on effect.
And by someone, I mean Sustain.
Anshin, would you mind uploading your excel sheet to rapidshare (or similar) and making it public until we can sort this out please?
