here are a few things I just noticed on the available autobot alts page.

under the Rescue Vehicle listing the shark alt appears and is listed as a Rescue Helicopter, under sea creatures Primes alt is listed as a shark. these are the only two that jumped out at me, there could be more.

just noticed under semi trucks that there is one alt listed twice with different names, one is semi cab and the other semi truck, both share the same alt mode pic.

Could you post a screengrab of your altmodes page? I checked on mine and the alts you mentioned show up in the right places.

Seem to be having a non-linear waterfowl problem...

The new alts are showing in the available list, and in the upgrade screen, but in trying to select them I'm recieving this message:

"The transformation you have selected is unavailable or it does not belong to the same allegiance you declared. Please select a transformation from the list below."

For example.

You're entitled to your opinion I suppose...

Maybe "velociraptor" should be applied to the "small animal" alt and the "dinosaur" alt should be renamed "Deinonychus"?

Not so much a HMW glitch, but I can't post in the Ultimate Caption Contest. It kept booting me to the Login Page in a big circle. And it did in the process seem to log me out of HMW.

I am an autobot, and for some reason I can't select the WW Prime alt mode. It keeps saying I'm not the right faction. The kicker here is, I was just trying to change my character's stats. One second he has the alt, the next he's not allowed to have the alt.

Just thought you'd like to know.

When will the auto log-in/remember me feature be back to normal? I'm logged on the forums when I return to seibs but not on HMW.

That would make so much sense. And there actually is a canon Deinonychus in one of the Japanese Beast Wars toy lines. The alt would need to be tweeked to have that unique skull plating they had though.

Unique skull plating? :???:

Are you sure you aren't thinking of the Pachycephalosaurus from the BW series?

I got a warning saying that a scrip may slow my computer down, terminate it, yes No. I said yes. Anyway.... my countdowns don't work. This has never happned before ever, what's changed?

in missions it counts down 7 seconds and stops.

If I turned somehting off is there somehow I can turn it back on? I hate not knowing how much time I got.

I do apologies if this was already brought up,
I went to reset Necrolai and saw the 'Condor ALT' was still available and received the following error:

Hmmm, now I wonder what's going on since it's not just me. :-?

This might help. I think it's on Glyph's to do list.

eh, I was just browsing missions to enter with a lvl 3 and a lvl 1 bot. An all lvl 2 mission (prevent ambush I believe) was there. This isn't really causing a problem as I couldn't enter it but it shouldn't have shown up right?

I think it's supposed to be normal. Someone asked about it before the board imploded, and the answers that I remember was it was normal and not a glytch.

hmmm...ok I guess I've never just noticed it before. thanks

No problem.

I can't log out. I have shut off my internet twice and I am still logged in. How's that work?

On the new-alts-not-being-selectable thing - the bonus alts from the Xmas tourney were only available for a week, after which the auto-rotator script was supposed to kick in. However, the site got a new user system and the forums exploded in the meantime, so that's been taking up most of my time.

They're still shown in the factions' lists - even though they're not selectable - because I forgot to add a check on the date when getting the list of alts for display (the auto-rotator would remove any expired bonus alts so it wouldn't be a problem, I thought, but didn't consider alts which expired between runs of the script). I've got a fix for that and will upload it after work. Depending how close to the mark we get, I'll either rotate the alts manually this week or just leave them for the auto-rotator to do when it starts at 0100 CST on Monday.

It's normal, but that doesn't mean it's not a glitch.

I thought I'd fixed that one once, but apparently not. I just need to check that at least one bot from the user's team can actually join the mission before displaying it.

The site finally got an auto-login feature when the new user system was synched up with the forums.

To ask the obvious question - have you clicked the 'Log out' links in an of HMW, the forums or the Members section before shutting down?

--EDIT--
NM, I just tried it every way I could think of and still couldn't log out. I'll flag it up for Ryan's attention.

This is more of a Board bug than a HMW bug, but I am set to not be viewed by others, yes I prefer stealth mode... but I am still able to be seen. Can we get this fixed? I would like some privacy.

Been there, done that, I cleared my cookies, and it works perfectly now.

(finds the bug has returned ...) "AWWWWW SCRAP!"
