Thank you for bringing this to my attention. There were apparently some other things I needed to address.

On that note, I've been updating an insane amount of legacy code throughout Seibertron.com. When I switched servers, I didn't know that I wouldn't be able to restore the old version of php that this site needed to maintain 20+ year old code. This forced my hand to update thousands of files which I wasn't planning on doing. I'm doing my best to get everything. It seems like most things have been resolved but it has been like a game of "whack-a-mole".

If you see errors, please post links to the pages with the error so that I can investigate further. Thanks!

Where did you encounter that error?

[Seibertron]

This is another test after making phpbb messenger fixes/updates ....

[DISCHARGE]

The first one is from trying to convert to the older display.
I guess If you had lost some function, that explains that to me possibly.
I would have to wait a short while b4 it would reconnect with this newer display on the site b4 I could use it again.

The second is what Steve showed, I think, or similar. I can't think of what it is doing or replacing..
I hope you can use that info

[Seibertron]

Both of those issues have been resolved. Please let me know if you come across additional errors like these.

What other HMW bugs are top of mind to you guys? Not features or want lists ... just flat out bugs that need to be addressed that you want me to look at ASAP?

[ThunderThruster]

There's currently no "High Scores" listing again and I think a lot of us would like it if the organisation of team rosters in the "War Room" was organised highest to lowest EXP (which it used to be some time ago) instead of order of creation which it currently is.

Starting Saturday evening, I can currently access HMW on my PC (though this morning it was slow as heck) , but on my phone I get:

"[403] Forbidden Seibertron.com is experiencing technical issues." etc.

Does this just mean I have to access Seibertron through an app now? I'm usually the last to adopt any such measure.

No you do not. Are you still having this problem? It is possible that the new server's security protocols blocked your IP. I can look into it further if it is still an issue for you. I was tinkering with security settings last night and also got myself banned from the server, resolved the strictness of the security rules, and now you should be good now. Can you confirm?

High scores has been fixed. And improved. Enjoy.

I think a lot of us would like it if the organisation of team rosters in the "War Room" was organised highest to lowest EXP (which it used to be some time ago) instead of order of creation which it currently is.

I finally updated War Room to work the way I wanted it to (or to restore functionality Glyph had programmed but had a bug in it or whatever). 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've been testing it for the past hour or so working out the bugs and different scenarios. It seems to be working well now. Please confirm if you guys can.

While not game breaking (yet), today I noticed whenever I activate my bots I see a red box above the Registry with the following:

We encountered an error while processing this page ...
[*]MySQLi Error: Unknown column 'last_activated' in 'field list'

My bots were still activated like normal. The "MySQLi" text repeated for every bot I activated at the same time. So when I did the full six, it repeated six times.

[Silver Wind]

I had a reply all ready to post and clicked submit — Error 403 reared its ugly head. There was no saving the content since refresh and force refresh kept returning the error, so here's what I can remember in an abridged format.

Constructive criticism:

1) Having to activate the characters to sort. It's rather pointless if your only interest is working bottom up from exp rankings; you'll still have to refer to the team page overview anyway.

2) Not sure if custom sort persists across active/inactive status, but it doesn't look to update to take exp ranking into account anyway. This then leads back to #1 above.

Activating characters also prompts the mySQL error Dragonslayer mentioned.

Yay! Back on! I've had continuous 403s since Saturday - was starting to worry it was a "me specifically" problem rather than an overall site problem. And I see that the forum notification emails are working again - I've just had the first one since the server move (hence me missing most of the chatter over the last ~week).

+1 to the MySQLi error messages on both Activate ("Unknown column 'last_activated' in 'field list'" for each character) and Deactivate ("Column 'active_order' cannot be null").

On the interactive sorting... it works, as far as I can see, but I'm afraid don't understand what it's for? Active order has absolutely no effect on anything in the game AFAIK. (As to programming: the ordering field has always been there, just literally based on what order they were activated, but I think it partly stopped working some time in the many updates and reverts over the past decade+ and defaulted to total XP - which turned out to be more useful anyway.)

As Silver Wind noted, the only ordering that really matters for the listing is total XP so we can focus on our top/bottom bots as needed. Moving them around just makes it harder to spot them in the mission form, IMO, since they aren't in a predictable order. (Though with reference to the features proposal I sent way back, I've come to think that the whole War Room / active status concept serves no actual purpose in the game anyway and ought to be removed in favour of limits enforced on the mission pages etc)

[ThunderThruster]

As has been mention by both Silverwind and Glyph, sorting the "Active" bots isn't what we were after and is a relatively redundant/ pointless feature.

The War Room page always used to sort the "Inactive" roster by Total EXP [Most to least] by default.

EDIT: It looks as though the changes filter through to the "inactive" state, but only being able to change it when a bot is "active" seems arse-about-face, as we can only have max 6 active bots at a time.
