That must pretty new since I do have a capital letter and some punctuation in my Rs password. Special characters =/= punctuation in all contexts. Special character generally refers to the ones you get via alt codes and such opposed to the ones on the keyboard anyway. Also you can type capitals into rs passwords, but it doesn't matter as they are not case sensitive. Eg Bob BOB bob bOb etc. Are all the same password. Wait, what? That's just.. that's just stupid. I personally thought that was a well known fact about RuneScape. Apparently not lol.

Long ones including uppercase, lowercase and symbols. A good idea is to use an actual sentence which you can easily remember, for example: Contains uppercase, lowercase, spaces, symbols and is a decent length, making it unfeasible to crack.

There seems to be some confusion over what Rainbow Tables actually are. Rainbow tables don't have a "chance" of cracking the hash. If the Rainbow Table has been made for 8 characters in length and the character set a-zA-Z0-9 then it will crack any alphanumeric password of 8 characters or less. Rainbow tables are often used by malicious people to decrypt easier passwords, but they consume vast amounts of storage space once they start getting big and they're very costly to generate as well since it requires pretty much doing the equivalent of a brute force for every password in your selected character set and length.

I've begun recording this data now and I'll hopefully get some sort of page up in the next few days for it. For the record, 1,069 new users have been added to the high scores in the last 4 hours.

So all you want is some sort of daily printout with how many users are physically on the high scores?

What kind of connection is it? I assume HDMI? Perhaps it's something to do with the way your TV processes that, of course if it was a movie/TV set top box etc. you wouldn't notice as the audio and video would be equally delayed, but when it's a game you would. There's no reason this delay would be coming from the console so short of trying a different input type (and thus probably losing HD), there might not be a way to fix it.

When you signed up you were asked to create both a display name and a login name. Wretched_Cat is your display name, it's not the name you need to use on the login form (I've just checked and your login and display names are different). :)

This suggestion has now been implemented. ^^ It may take a while for DNS to propagate but it should be in place now for the vast majority. Please note that not all URLs are supported on the mobile site yet, especially pages and calculators. Until they officially appear on http://m.tip.it (as in you can go to http://m.tip.it and navigate there through the mobile site, not just clicking mobile from the desktop site) they are not officially supported.

There's actually a good logistical reason we do this. All of the sites you've listed as having accessible mobile sites, you'll notice they all have a separate URL or "directory" for their mobile site, through which only the mobile site is accessed. Currently, it's unfeasible due to stuff going on in our code backend for us to do this. We currently serve mobile pages through exactly the same URLs as our desktop pages, and that is the crux of the matter. If we allow anyone to switch to mobile mode with a link on each page, then search engines may switch to mobile mode and start indexing what may potentially be truncated information for the mobile site and "overwriting" the data they already have for that URL, because the URLs are the same. By only serving the mobile pages to mobile user agents, we can be sure that no indexing will occur on these pages. However, that's not to say it won't change in the future if I can find a suitable workaround for the problem.

Just to warn you in advance, if this is some sort of skin issue, which it seems it is, we're due a big IPB update soon. All of the skins will be updated.

Unfortunately there's nothing can be done about this other than just waiting for your DNS to propagate correctly. There are no other routing issues as Tec suggested, the server hasn't even physically moved. I suspect the problem is DNS caching within your system, ipconfig /flushdns used to be the way to clear this but unfortunately many applications (browsers are the main culprit here) keep their own DNS cache and it can be difficult to clear them. I've found Firefox to be a particular pain in the behind for doing this. Just because when you ping tip.it you get the new IP does not mean your browser is attempting to connect to that new IP as it likely has the old one cached. The reason the beta may work is that if you haven't visited it in the last few days, it pulls the IP for it fresh from the DNS server as its cache is out of date.

Well that's not really the case. The current architecture is still Sandy Bridge, the E-series is just a variant of it. The next thing that will make Sandy Bridge "not the current architecture" is Ivy Bridge which is coming early 2012 and involves a die shrink.

The domain is moving to point at a new server, it will be back online then. :)

It's something I've been considering but we wanted to get the main bulk of it launched first.

That is not what I was asking, I already said that it works on some skins, but I don't want to change my skin each time I use the tracker. We already know about this and it won't be fixed in this version of our skin. Once we update IPB and install our newer skin it will work but we don't have a timescale for that yet.

http://forum.tip.it/topic/304562-new-website-design-open-beta/ :)

A couple of years ago now when we upgraded the forums, and got a nice pretty new skin for them, some of you probably wondered why the forum skin didn't match the website design. It generally looked (and still does look) a lot more polished and up to date than our aging website. The reason for this was simple, the skin designer didn't pull this out of his head, he designed it from an early website redesign put together by us. That was quite some time ago, and we decided that if we were going to create a fresh new look for the website, we should also probably code everything from scratch as well, and get rid of many of the unnecessary files and code snippets we have hanging around on the current website. We wanted to do lots of other things too, like making the URLs more friendly, and introducing more social networking aspects. So the information you're actually probably reading this post for... the URL, and here it is: http://open.tip.it With the "open" being for our "Open Beta" which is what we're calling this stage of the launch. We'd like you, our users, to test drive the site, reporting to us any bugs you find, along with your feedback on newer features or changes. You can report bugs to us in The Tracker. This allows us to easily keep track of your bug as it progresses through to being fixed. There is also a new forum in which you can discuss the website. You should avoid using the Tracker for this, as it is strictly for bugs only. Also, I can't possibly post this without giving credit where it's due: Designer @Mil Coding Team @Cowman_133 @Dudecrush8 @MageUK @Tecmaster @Xena_Dragon All of the Tip.It Staff for random bug testing and such we forced them to do against their will. Soon you'll also be seeing some Developer Blogs/Behind The Scenes posts revealing how and why things were done the way they were! Have fun on the new website!

Ah unlucky then, you were very close.

Here's the answer:

Crocefisso was just the second person to send in the correct answer, the answer will be revealed to all shortly.

I can confirm that DarkDude successfully solved the riddle, although he got it so fast, the next person to PM me with the right answer will still also get a custom user title. :)

@Dudecrush8 has kindly written a riddle for us. The importance of it may not be immediately obvious, but it's important. ;) The first person to PM me the correct answer to the riddle gets a custom member title of their choosing, and then the answer will be revealed to all...

A nice 25-27" monitor for $300? Don't think so, perhaps if you're lucky. You can get a nice 24" monitor for that. The prices jump up quite a lot once you hit 24" or above, for example a 30" monitor will set you back $1500 or so. It also depends on your definition of "nice". I consider a "nice" monitor to be an IPS panel, but most people use TN panels. TN is considerably cheaper. Also, there's no reason why you wouldn't get HD quality on your Xbox games on a monitor when compared with a TV.

He spoke to us and RuneFest and asked us to send him a password reset, so we're fairly sure it's him. Only about 99% though.
