Why is it when I click "details" on a TF's profile page (the one beside the mission and arena success % bars) it goes to a screen that says "HMW is temporarily down" when it's not?

It's probably a link that was broken when the Hurricon's attacked the server. It's another part of v1 that won't exist in it's current state in v2. With the code freeze on v1 I wouldn't really worry to much about minor details like that. Thanks for reporting it though

That page you went to is pretty much a default error page for HMW and HMW related pages. Just because you're seeing it doesn't mean the game is down, unless you're seeing it on your registry/mission/arena pages.

If I remember rightly, the 'details' tab was origanaly disabled to try and cut down on some band width, and had a page which just said 'will be back' or words to that effect. All that has happened is that that page has been lost it seems.

When I click on one of my character's "upgrade" link, it'll only load an icon picture of some sort of a jet alt-mode that I didn't use for any of my character. Here's the link:

Can you take a screenshot of the page you get when you click the upgrade page?

It happens between every rotation, should fix itself after a few hours.

Don't worry, I can't see it either and I'm supposed to be a moderator for it. There's a few hiccups with the various board permissions that'll be sorted in due time, no need to sweat.

Your sig says you are "Formerly Wheelimus Prime"

Give it 24 hours it might take some time for it to kick in on the data base I will keep an eye on it.

In the past, the database had to be manully pushed to change a commander's name within the game. As it coincided with the fixing of forum accesses, I asume it was dont by OS. So the game may not update your name unless you ask someone who can to do it for you.

Nothing this game dose automaticly happens after a month, so there's no reason to beleive (unless OS has added a bit of code to do just that) that it was an automatic effect.

but here is the problem (sorry for my spamming) if i change my name back to C/F it will say that the commander is wheelimus prime

so change it to Wheelimus Prime twice in a row? Have you tried that?

Give it a couple of days, it will fix it self. That's how it was before the reset.

by **vaporretarder** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 10:33 pm

dunno if this is a bug or not,...but it certainly IS weird.

http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... a_id=53365

it was autobot vs maximal,...and we fought to a standstill,...and the bout had to be voted as a technical win,....but why did the predacons get awarded the win?

....not that I care mind you, as I did in fact come 0oout of this area combat with a whopping 510 points (not too shabby for a loss haha)

just thought I'd let the higher-ups that something smelled like week old fish to me. still cool as all heck though haha

Predacons just dominate that much. Or, more accurately, it's just a goof because the beast factions have always introduced fun glitches; read back a few pages and you'll see even more links like this. Autobots are always stealing my wins when there's a standstill

Edit:
Oh, and since you're new (4 posts from what I just saw), Welcome to the Heavy Metal War!

CAUTION: HMW CONTAINS NUTS!!!

You've been warned.

Does any other person have trouble logging on from a different computer than the one they usually use? my home computer is the only one that lets me log on, my work computer, my laptop, and any other computer for that matter log me off instantly. Anyone know how to fix this?

News Credits: 42 · by **Psychout** » Wed Feb 18, 2009 12:32 pm

Not heard that that before. Is there an account already active on the computers you are trying to use?

Otherwise, it could be a cookie issue. Have you checked to see if the other computers have them switched on, and if so, try purging them and see if that helps?

Other than that Im not sure what else to suggest.
