  1. IPB is pretty good about providing permanent links to content that don't decay or break.  There's a "Pages" feature that we don't currently use that'd be good for publishing fixed reference material at a specific, easy URL, so maybe we could eventually push specific guide material to there.

     

    For better or worse, the PW people have decided that ParagonWiki is going to remain crystallized as it was on the date of the live shutdown, and not allow any edits about the content updates on any of the private servers.  We've been kicking around a project to either fork PW and edit it, or make a Homecoming-specific wiki that only contains new information and links to PW for things that haven't changed, but that's a big project and finding time and resources to do it ourselves in a non-half-assed way has been difficult.

    Hooray! Hopefully I can find that in code somewhere on the page and not hidden in a server side script. Thanks!

    It's in there.  (This'll also help anyone who wants to make a Greasemonkey/Userstyles/Stylish/etc script to enable exact time display)

  3. #1, #2, #4, #5, #6 are all already implemented.  #3 is probably not going to happen due to balance concerns and #7 is a very complicated system that hasn't been updated since issue 13, so I'm not even sure how much of the original raiding code is left.

    Specifically, when running Homecoming from Tequila, the Loading bar has a green border around it.  Before login screen appears, a small green square is visible in upper left corner of my screen.  After login screen has loaded, clicking on anything (password line, exit, start, etc) has no effect.  I can tab to password line, enter password and press enter, but nothing happens.

     

    I've set the associated files/folders to trusted/whitelisted in both Comodo Firewall and Avast Antivirus, and have tried deleting Tequila from my registry.

     

    The green border is a feature of Comodo's containment software (which is separate from the firewall).  It shows that the program is being isolated from the rest of your computer, which causes CoH to become unresponsive to the mouse.  You'll either need to disable containment or add a containment exception for Tequila and Homecoming.

  5. If Tequila's immediately closing and there's nothing in the Tequila log file that looks suspicious, it's almost always an antivirus scanner or Internet security software forcing it closed.  Set up an exemption for tequila.exe in your AV or firewall.

     

    Additionally, make sure the game isn't installed in a protected place (any place in your Users folder like Documents or Downloads, Program Files, AppData, or the Windows folder).  If it is, move it to a place Windows doesn't restrict; the generic recommendation is C:/Games/City of Heroes/.

    Perhaps they could add the old forums colour theme to the Theme toggle at the bottom at some point. For those of us who can't really look at this dark blue format for any length of time.

     

    The old theme's in a different format that would require manual porting, so it's a possibility that color scheme will return, but for now there's blue and white.

    As a forum admin for many years, I found it beneficial to my users to have both a "dark" skin and a "light" skin. At least for the sake of accessibility for those that might have visual impairments, it's good to have at least those two options, I've found.

    The current plan's to get all the little tweaks to the dark theme squared away first, then use that to develop alternate versions of that theme so that they're all consistent with each other and we don't have to worry about content displaying differently for different sets of users.
