I'll poke a tech admin towards this thread, maybe he can figure it out. Edit: Try waiting a little bit longer, the CDN does take some time to cache the new picture.

This has to do with the content delivery network (cdn) that we are using to hold images such as profile pictures to reduce the server load on the webserver. If it still hasn't changed it might indicate an issue with our CDN. Has it still not updated?

Looking at the farming timer code, this would just take more time than it would be useful. Although it's a nice idea it would take a lot of time to implement, I'll keep it on my 'list of things it would be nice to do', but I'm focusing more on other bigger projects at the moment. ;)

"Cautiously excited" sums up my thoughts on this one. If this works it would be beyond epic, but I'm interested to see how effective it is and if/how long it will take bot makers to work around it. Heck, free xp/penguin points is always a good thing though! :thumbup:

I could be wrong but I think Jagex already does this to help prevent 'spam' recovery attempts. I definitely agree with a lot of your points here and this is certainly the biggest issue with Jagex customer support at the moment, it is very automated and doesn't have a really 'dedicated' way to be reached with general concerns that don't fit one of the few lines of communication that they have. It seems like they've even been going further in the wrong direction and closing off even more lines of communication recently. Although it's understandable that they only have a certain amount of people working on customer support, they need to be more open and easy to contact. At the moment, if your issue doesn't fit one of the specific customer support systems that they have you're basically out of luck.

The current most used penguin friend chats are World60pengs, W60pengs, W60pengu, or W60pengy. They're all used on world 60 and are friend chats, not clan chats (lots of people get that mixed up :P). Not sure on an effigy chat off the top of my head.

I imagine that Jagex will shift their focus on to other projects eventually and RS will be left to die off, sort of like fun orb is right now. Although it would be nice if Jagex kept developing the game, more likely than not eventually they'll shift focus to another game and RS will gradually get less and less support before it dies off. <_<

Peter has just released a patch for stat sigs and they're up and running again now. :)

Moved to website updates and corrections. :) Thanks for the submission, I'll check ingame and see if I can figure out if we have our xp value wrong or if it's just the combination of the smithing and magic xp.

Closing this up as our tools are now back online and updates can continue as usual. :)

You've reiterated this statement 3 times chief. It means nothing, i could say the same thing about any hacking just because it covers my ass as a blanket statement. Instead of responding to questions with such a statement why not try to contact the tech admins who can answer the forum user's questions thoroughly. We're workin' on it now, they're just all quite busy getting everything back up and running at the moment. I'll make sure one of them takes a moment to stop by though. :)

Hey guys, Just giving you all a heads up, with all the recent chaos our admin tools are not quite back online yet for the main site, so we won't be able to do any content updates for a few more days. Please by all means continue posting submissions and we'll comment on them, but we won't be able to make any changes to the site content right away. I'll delete this thread once we get our editing tools back online and we can get back to updating again. :)

All of these have been updated, I apologize for the delay in having this done.

Just started taking a 3D game programming course (C++ and DirectX 9), my goal for the end of the year is going to be making some sort of dungeon explorer game. It'll be a VERY long time before its done though.

It's an interesting idea, although moderating it and keeping out spammers and trolls would be a bit of an issue. At the same time, a lot of our community uses either the forums or the IRC chat to talk for the most part, I'm not sure how much a shoutbox would be used. I'll pass this along to the rest of the staff and see what they think.

Thanks for the suggestion, since we're still fairly early into the poll I've added that as an option. :) (if you can't see it, press f5 to refresh the poll)

Hey Chiral, We are currently working on redesigning our calculators to make factoring in bonuses like this much easier although it won't be ready for a little while. In the meantime I will speak to our calculator coders and see if this can be done. :)

I've done a lot of work with C++ and am actually currently taking a 3D rendering with C++ course. If you have any specific questions please by all means feel free to PM me although I don't really have any 'handy resources' that I can grab off the top of my head. :)

We keep a large database of items prices which you can see in our GE Centre and on the database page of any tradable item, no need to worry about that. Just to make sure I'm understanding your suggestion right, you would like to see something like our Herblore Cost Calculator for more skills? Although calculators like that aren't too difficult to code, it's simply time consuming. But if there are one or two in particular that you're really interested in seeing we can look into implementing some more cost calculators. :)

Double check to make sure you're not blocking cookies from our site, both the penguin locations page and the quest calc keep track of that sort of thing using a cookie. If you're not sure if cookies are allowed or not try using the farming timer. If it works it means that cookies are working properly.

There haven't been too many server issues over the past few days, is this problem continuous? Or is it just happening for bits at a time? Either way I'll point a Tech admin at this thread.

I've added a newspost on the homepage of the main site to raise awareness of things like this. Hopefully it will stop people from getting burned on the weekend. :)

Okay, fine. I'll give you a brief summary. [hide=Braches of Darkmayor] one day there was a vampire so you went back to burg drot and talk to the guy and he says to go to the bank and go in an hole and you do. so you find some coffine and get a metallion and its evil so you bring it back to belmont and something to go to mayorditch. and go find other secret hero mans an then talk to more people and you see little girl whos scary and turns out to be trick! Vamprye come out and is actually freind?? so okay then she help and fight dreken you go to darkmayor and use bombs to invincible. you go past Guards and get clothes for digise so then your a vampyre and you make friends with everone and then you find the tree and get the wood and make the weapons. Go back to base and tell mens to get SLafan but hes missin and hes an icene so its plot twist! then you go fight draculas' cousin and a boss fight, so you win and go home but people are still ciff hanger.. the end [/hide] You win sir. :lol:

One of our crewbies has confirmed this and I've added it to the guide, thanks for pointing it out! :)

Thanks Wessan! I'll make sure Warriormonkx (the one who did the guide) sees this thread. Be sure to keep an eye out for even more updates fo our older monster hunting guides coming soon. :)
