"Three screenshots of the garage after your battles, showing the garage pop up with the XP gain, achievements, date of the battle and time (do not crop this image as that immediately disqualifies you)."
How to take a screen shot?

Gaea: CW players!
I'd be interested in hearing your feedback about the CW landing times. A couple of commanders have proposed the idea of having only 2 time zones: 20:00 EST and 21:00 EST (17:00 PST and 18:00 PST).
What are your thoughts about this?
FYI - if you answer: "this sucks" I most likely won't take your feedback into account. I'm looking for a healthy interaction here.
Thanks!

work.
What can I not find? How about everything? Have you tried using the search feature?
Last time they did Forum maintenance, they messed up the "Search" feature. Yes, you could still search, but any forum post started after September 24th, would not be returned in the results. It took them about a week to acknowledge this, and only after several players submitted trouble tickets. It took about another week and a half to fix it.
This time, another forum maintenance has broken the search feature entirely. Searching for anything results in nothing being found. Is that being fixed? Or do users have to submit trouble tickets again?
Seriously, doesn't anyone test their software 'fixes' before they release it to the public?

GeneralDirection: Forum search has absolutely nothing to do with this forum
reorganization, so that's why I wanted clarification. Now that I
know what your issue is, I can actually pass it on.

the current version it does not show how many teams signed on the main tournaments page where the list of all tournaments should be (previous to this change, that info was available and is very interesting info)
is very dificult to know if a skirmish has place for more teams or not, and how many teams participate on one tournament and how many teams were created for that event in total. please ask website developers to add this info again and PLEASE add the old tournaments data
i hate to no have chance to see old tournaments (Example first ural steel, or all other previous tournaments), just last 10... is sad...
i DONT like to not have that data
please fix it.

Hypnotik: The "potentially damaging content" is a bit of a misleading title.
Since the site is very simple, and all that software like Websense
would see is a bunch of javascript a few images and a few divs,
it's not a stretch to think there's very little content - because
there isn't a ton. Where websense is wrong is the usefulness of the
content. It's automated, and has no idea what Clan Wars is, or what
any of the information on the site actually is. The domain is legit
(first registration from it, and from 1and1 if you really want to
know), and there is nothing harmful about the site.

Hypnotik: Ok, found the issue that is causing the problem. Only certain
browser versions that usually aren't the most recent version of
that program are having the issue (FF 15 or below, IE 9 or below,
Chrome - all versions, Opera 12.10 or below, or Safari - all
versions). I know the workaround to this issue, and hopefully all
will be well later tonight.
The + and - issue is something separate, and I'm pretty sure I figured that one out too.

restarted. I just re-did it, might take a refresh to see the newer

any that you saw?

Zoom Feature
This new feature allows you to zoom in and out on the map. The zoom feature will probably be tweaked a little bit as time goes on based on feedback, so let me know what you think of it (any issues, not far out enough?, too far out?, more increments?).

Europe, and the bottom row is Mediterranean.
Wenkel, on Nov 02 2012 - 14:29, said: What about a box showing each clans current icon on the map?Hypnotik: This feature was considered actually. It would be a ton of work
right now since a good portion of the data input is done manually
still, but hasn't been ruled out. One of the biggest things I'm
working on is making the process of adding data more
automated/streamlined, so this may be something that is possible.

CatStalker: you should be able to tell windows to use the speakers as primary
output device and BT as primary input device.
If you're using windows 7, it's as easy as right clicking on the sound icon -> playback devices -> select speakers (instead of bluetooth) -> click 'set default'.
you'll want to do this after the BT is setup, as it's probably just stealing priority once it connects.
