Nope, I've seen it too, been broken since the phpbb v3 upgrade. They still work you just can't see what you are doing until you get the end result.
Hate the players, love the game.

Normally I'd say that unless the permission mask macro is broken it'd be 5 days after you registered for your game account. But seeing as how you've been here for rougly 4 1/2 months it's hard to say. When did you register for the game? (I'm too lazy to just search your team.) If it's longer then 5 days you're pretty much screwed until Omega Sentinal gets back. Because moderators can't change permissions to my knowledge. And even if they could most of their abilities were neutered in the change over to PHP3bb.

The only Mods I'm aware of being able to change your persmission would be the Clan Mods, and it's pretty pointless joining a clan without being able to interact with non clan players of your own side to co-ordinate with.

One of Glyph's ideas -- and this was way before he retired -- was to include individualized HMW data in the profile. (If you want more detail, you'll need to ask someone else since my memory of it has faded too much).

Anyway, it wasn't around for very long before it was all removed, 'cept for the link itself.


Now on to mine and Ransom's issue. Ever since the switch to the new php code, we've been having a problem with the logout function. This is how it goes:

One of us logs in, goes to the HMW, and does whatever. However, if you try to log out you'll only be logged out of the forum while still being able to access HMW. So if I login first, Ransom can't access her people and vice versa. The only remedy known so far is to close any Seibertron windows, and then hunt for all the Seibertron cookies and delete them. Once done, myself or my twin will be able to get to our respective teams.

(Note: We use IE 6, and Seibertron does require you to allow cookies.)

I love that the game is back up, but my son has a problem. I was able to log in and find my bots just the way they were. I also decided to check on my son's as well. I could log in under his name (beee), but when I went to HMW, it was as my(Duckietron) registry. My son is an Autobot, which dosn't work for me that well. Can his bots be recovered? If not, can he start new?

It may be that you need to dump your cache and cookies. I had an issue while trying to log out at work but it wouldn't log me out correctly. I think this has been an issue before.

I think the timer's busted.

I should be allowed this name, as a result of the 90 day reset (check his profile first for clarification), but somehow I can't have it.

I know that it's more than likely due to the fact that the game's been on and off recently, but still.

I think it is because he is still ranked it might not be 90 days yet? The ones with n/a in the rank you could probably take.

Fair point, but it doesn't really make sense as you can't be unranked at level 1.

Or can you? I'm not 100% sure on that.

Yeah, that's a classic error that's popped up and subsided and popped up again for ages now. I would guess that it hasn't gotten a lot of attention though since so few players have a legitimate reason to be signing out and then signing back in, but I don't know for sure - I don't remember hearing OS or Seibertron talk about it one way or another.

The important part is that beee's team is still there, you're just not successfully logging out of your Duckietron account.

If you can't get the browser-cache-thing to work immediately though, try a high-scores search for one of his bots just to be sure.

Tried it, still not working. It is like both account log into my bots. I guess he can suck it up and play with my cons until we know something. Thanks anyway Aerrow.

You can be unranked at any level if you don't play for a while. Looking at his team the only ones that are ranked are the ones waiting to be healed maybe that is why those are still ranked. The game might consider them as active.

Just to chip in, I'd assume that would happen 90 days in game if a bot isn't activated, right?

The main reason it wouldn't have worked for me is because with the game being up and down, it's not been registered as 90 days, therefore they're not unranked and I can't have the name.

Hopefully I'm right, I think. Ah well close enough.
