  1. Sunday I get to start writing Poniverse code... in the army base! Instead of wasting hours and hours, I'll finally be able to transfer data outside of the system. So I can actually pull the code I write out! Hurrah

      Just found out what happens when you attempt to use emoji on the forums.

  2. Rest assured, it's long enough. Managed to reach 60 characters. It may be something like 100 or the default 255 shared with the varchar max. All the same, it's more than enough! Edit: It's actually 64! Edit2: Thanks for reminding me, Feld0: 64 is actually the number before sanitation. This means that your title, if you use certain characters, may expand. For example, ' will turn into ' in the db, and will count as 5 characters rather than one. (it might actually be resolved as ' and will therefor consume 6).

    Never be afraid to make a suggestion thread! We love to hear feedback, and I know a lot of people who are not comfortable expressing themselves directly, and so rely on systems such as the Like/Brohoof systems to show their appreciation. Perhaps Profile Brohoofs is something closer to what you are suggesting, but indeed there are some arguments against it. If you have any other ideas don't hesitate to post them!
  4. Nobody knows. However, to my recollection, there has never been more than one delay; there are sometimes one week delays, but I think we've only had once or twice before a delay this long. Season 2 had a large delay IIRC, and I think Season 1 had a minor one. All seasons had a delay of one week one or more times though. My best guess is September. Possibly earlier.
  5. I'd like to thank you all for your feedback, and to let you know that the proposed changes have been implemented. The order of Today's Birthdays, in both the index and the full page, have been changed to sort by last active date.

    general questions Where to submit banners?

    Hi Gone Airbourne! You can find details about our banner contest, and new guidelines, here: https://mlpforums.com/topic/123996-banner-contest-v-finally/ However note that this thread is a little old, as the contest came and went.
  7. It goes up and down. It is on the cards to find a permanent solution.
  8. The site had safeguards for certain types of ddos attacks. It is not possible to make the site immune to DDOS attacks. For the future, you can also view the status of our servers here: http://status.poniverse.io/
  9. I would love to make one if the opportunity arose. Sadly there are a number of barriers that would make it unlikely in the near future.
  10. This means our search engine is down. I am on a phone right now, and will be for another week and more, but I will alert another syspony.
  11. Are you talking about any picture or just post image embeds?
  12. Could you please define what you're doing exactly? Are images not loading? Are you on a PA and have difficulty saving embeds? On a phone? Etc
  13. The "Contact Us" button at the bottom of the page, which leads here. Once you have made a ticket, we have a direct and private line to you which is often necessary for these scenarios, as we may need to ask some questions. Once you make a ticket and explain your problem, I or one of our other sysfolk will be able to fix the accounts.
  14. Come back home after long week at the army. Check tech support... fifty unread threads...

  15. I must ask you to expand on what you mean by "issues". Do you have trouble clicking it? Is there an error? Does it simply not exist on the mobile site?
  16. My favorite are the Shining Armor two-parter, the Reflections arc and the Microseries' Luna comic! I think they're among the best, but there are definitely quite a few contenders. I think there's another comic that could take the place of Reflections, but I can't remember right now.
  17. The thing about becoming somebody else is that it's so easy to just slip into that suite and let it take you whole. Pretend to be a businessman and you're suddenly classy and witty; pretend to be a soldier and you're afraid of nothing; pretend to not be vulnerable and you never feel tears. Becoming a man is putting the world you knew behind and acting like the person you need to be.

  18. War. A powerful word. Civilizations taking up arms against each other. But today, we war with symptoms, which keeps the vicious cycle turning. And to win a war, we must prepare.

  19. I joined the site after watching pony for a long while and figuring I should consider myself a fan now somewhere in December 2011. Though I must admit I've never been particularly active! I mostly read and enjoyed the forums from a lurker's position. Eventually I stopped logging on and kept browsing at infrequent intervals for a... long while!

    general questions BBCode Master List Location

    This is the master list. http://mlpforums.com/index.php?&app=forums&module=extras&section=legends&do=bbcode
  21. Multiple someones actually. It's made by a company called Invision Power Services, and they sell a number of services / apps.
  22. 1) They are necessary for Mythic raiders basically, but mostly during the core progression. For example, my entire guild wiped all non-work order based Garrison buildings in order to maximize the amount of Elemental Runes we get per week so that we can get the 710 ring asap. Beyond that, they're in no way necessary... why, the only thing I do are Garrison missions. But I simply must stress that it's a very good idea to level it up. There's a new trait, Treasure Hunter, which increases gold gain from missions by 100%. It basically means that the Garrison pays back all the money you dished on it within a few days after getting 2 Treasure Hunters to 100 epic, which is silly easy if you have a follower called Harrison Jones, which is gained by doing his 6 dailies. 2) REALLY fun! While many praise Highmaul, the ogre raid, I actually find it underwhelming, but it's entirely possible you'll find it awesome. I find it similar to AQ20/40, Bastion of Twilight, Dragon Soul and Molten Core. It's (essentially) one-way, with quite wild bosses. While they are quite fun, I simply don't fancy the theme of this mostly-ogre ruin. Blackrock Foundry on the other hand, is friggin awesome! There are 4 wings, and unlike Icecrown Citadel, there are no forced starter bosses. Three wings have three bosses, and the final wing requires all other wings to be beaten, consisting of only one boss (Blackhand). Each end wing boss is actually significantly harder than the first and second bosses of any other wing, and each wing's bosses are quite comparable, so even in Mythic, you can choose which bosses you want to go after first. Theme-wise and on the epicness scale, I find it quite similar in enjoyment and feel to Icecrown Citadel and Black Temple. Dark, fiery, with themed bosses with interesting mechanics that keep you on your toes. 3) People always complain about balance, but really every expansion the balance gets better. Healers are far better balanced today, for example (unlike in MoP, where disc was so op), and while there are quite a few dps specs that are not viable, and outside of RBGs you still won't find consistent victories as a tank, I find that things are pretty ok, but I don't pvp that much. Also, the highly-anticipated Ashran was a monumental failure and Holinka can go get stamped by Hansfrans. 4) Once, a third of my Ashran raid was warriors (about 14 people). I think I don't need to really say anymore! -- But... to be honest, if I didn't raid, I'd have probably unsubbed. I don't do anything but raid, so if I were to stop, I don't even know what I'd do. But as a raider I love this expansion!
  23. Oh, last time I looked we only had three. I suppose at this point it doesn't hurt.
  24. It would seem rather odd to me. I feel it might result in cases of, "if X gender gets it, why not Y?" 'Other', I imagine, is meant to signify as something else. I do agree that the usage of 'other' has multiple meanings in the sense that it doesn't just say "something else", but it might also, from a very certain viewpoint, denote something 'otherly', uncanny, strange, which can indeed lead to as you put it a bad taste. I think the best course of action, if most people feel this way, is to consider changing the wording of 'Other', but I don't think adding a fourth option is the right move.
