Same thing happened to me.

I didnt like it, I got scared.

Some how the server clock reset to 2008. Ryan was able to fix it easily though.

I have the highest-level of DSL I can get. Yeah, that's definitely not the fastest out there, but it should be adequate. Shouldn't it?

Is there anything you can do, Ryan?

I had this problem as well. Seems better now...not sure if it was due to upgrading to IE9 or clearing out the temp internet files, objects, and whatnot. It was getting to be unusable, though.

I'm guessing that whatever screwed with the clock caused the slow down. I have 16.25 mbps cable and it lagged.

It's been lagging for months for me and I too have cable. But like I said, it's better after I both upgraded to IE9 and deleted my temp internet crap. Still not perfect, but it was taking like 15+ seconds for the pages to load. And it would freeze while it did so.

Worse than thinking I'd been sent back in time four years (come to think of it, that could have been a useful event) I couldn't post! I got an error message saying I couldn't post again so soon after posting.

I had that too, I was left wondering how many years we now had to wait between posts. I was also getting that SOPA message pop up telling me to do American things.

Help! My bots colors cannot be changed in the edit page.

1:you cannot see the color you want to change to.
2:The color doesn't seem to want to change

Overall, it's broken.

EDIT: sorry, this was to go in the HMW bug reporting thread. My bad.

It's cool. One of us HMW'ers would have picked it up anyway.

There's a few bugs in HMW, but for the most part the game is functional. Ryan works on HMW when he has a chance.

Can you shoot me the link to your character as well as what colour (roughly) you'd like? I MIGHT be able to try it through the control panel. Otherwise, the colour changer may not look like it works but if you change it and save it, the colour WILL change so you can go for hit and miss.

I wanted him to be a darkish green.

Did you try experimenting blind?

It just might be quicker than waiting for me to get to it. :lol:

-edit-
Actually it works in Firefox. You can't see the spectrum but if you click on the radials the alt mode colour will change, so you just have to play hit and miss.

I tried. I got frustrated. I came to this thread.

EDIT: Never-mind. I tried again, and I figured it out.

Tue Mar 20, 2012 11:20 pm

Hmmm, I can not seem to see what my character's alt mode color is in the character editor.

I use Google Chrome FYI.

I had this problem too, but I found that zooming out of the page(ctrl+/ctrl-) works just fine, try it and see if that works.

Thank you for the info good sir. Worked like a charm.

Hey, for some reason my missions are saying that the mission logs will be available in more than 4 hours, but my registry says they're done. I know that can't be right.

I clicked on the link for the Hasbro Coin Box (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-offical-hasbro-commemorative-coin-box/24508/) and got this message:

I just came back to the site and it said "New in the gallery! Animated Lockdown!" Wha-? Did I just time travel?

Is there a way for me to create a poll for a new topic?
If yes, how?
If not, can one of you guys do it for me?

From what I can see on the front page, all the smileys are MASSIVE once posted.
:grin:

<---Doesnt seem to be the case with me.

I've just tried to edit a post in the TF Toys Forum 3 times but to no avail. I added the additional text and clicked submit, but when the posting displays the added content isn't there. I tried it 3 times with the same results.

Can help, yes?

Are you using Chrome, by any chance? I had the same thing happen to me while posting a news article this morning. It only happened once, but it was a nuisance.

News Credits: 3 · Thu May 31, 2012 4:26 pm

I'm using Chrome and it's been goofy in general. Seems the pages aren't refreshing unless you hit F5. It might be working better now after hitting F5 on all the pages I tend to frequent, but for the last two days it didn't look like the site was updating at all. I think the pages were all just cached and not updating or something.

Yep, I've got chrome. I tried to enter more posts this evening but I noticed that no new posts were even showing in the whole Toy Forum, including the latest ones I'd submitted. On a whim I tried the site on my phone and everything was proper. It was then that I noticed your replies and tried the f5 fix on my desktop. It works, but wow, that a hassle. I'd better get my computer genius girlfriend over here to puzzle this out for me. I'm woefully low tech.

Thanks for the tip!

I don't know if it is my Internet, but the RPG threads are lagging a bit, and are showing old posts as the most recent. Even hiding complete new pages in the Chatterbox thread.

EDIT: It is happening here too.
