Every time I try to log in today, I get either nothing (eye stays closed), or when I go to the main page, I get a message that the server is unavailable. I don't recall if I was logged in at all yesterday.
Sometimes I take missions that aren't interesting at all and I just want to kill them so I don't see the Lightpost popups any more. Can I just say I don't want to finish the mission so they stop popping up?
Take away the description for a badge away.
Even take away what URLs you have to visit to get those badges. Some are quite obvious like the Perez Hilton one, if you've ever seen 'that' face on TV or anywhere. Some are quite obvious such as the Murloc for WoW and on and on and on...
Let's make this game a little more Passive when it comes to the LEAST of all Passive features here.
Yes, some will be painstakingly obvious what you have to do to get them, once someone gets one and declares it, such as hitting the 250 mine mark or some such landmark. The browsing ones will be a bit more ambiguous though.
I think the badges would be cool as a social tool "Hey, you are an xkcd addict too!" or "Hey, hey, what server do you play on?" or "What's your xbox live name?" so on and so forth...
How many "thumbbusters" do we have that don't even have a game system? How many people have the XKCD badge that have never heard of the semi-spontaneous meeting in a park at certain coordinates in Boston back on that fateful specific time and day?
I am trying to add the URL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Lu... to a mission; it lets me lightpost it from the toolbar, but I can't add that lightpost to a mission. I suspect this is because the URL contains a colon, and therefore that it would affect all Wikipedia system pages and Wikimedia/Commons pages as well.
Why don't any missions work for me? There is only one (1) page and and as soon as it comes up it states "complete mission!" thus there is always a problem when i click it and i am unable to complete any mission whatsoever. This brings me back to the main "Missions" page whereupon, the process starts over again.
I cannot change my profile picture. I've tried uploading images of various resolutions, and it takes me to the "crop" page, but when I click on "crop", it takes me back to my own profile, and the pig/shoat image is still there!
If you run out of lightposts while creating a mission, there's no warning or anything, the buttons just stop working. It still says you have 1 remaining, but you really have zero, and you have to go buy some and reload the mission generation page to continue.
Is there any way to except the PMOG popups from the CSS of the page? When mission lightposts or portals come up on their colored backgrounds but with the text and links colored and backgrounded to match the CSS of the page, sometimes they're unreadable.
Every time I go to a new page, the experience bar expands to the right until it pushes everything off the edge of the screen. I'm using Firefox 3.0b5 on a Mac.
I'm having a few problems (mostly cosmetic) using the beta PMOG with firefox 3 (technically, a trunk build - user-agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008041610 Minefield/3.0pre ).
1) The wood background for the toolbar does not load. This is more than a trivium because it means the words on the toolbar are very hard to read since they're yellow on light gray.
1a) Changing the toolbar skin to "plain" and logging out and back in does nothing.
2) Various pages at pmog.com fail to detect that the extension is installed and thus display warning banners like "You must have the PMOG addon installed to take any Missions."
3) The portal animation locks up the entire browser. I'd like it to go faster or at least allow me to switch tabs while it's running (loading the new page in the backgrounded tab).
4) When the portal animation is done, there's a brief flash of the old page before the new one loads.
Invite from my account isn't working, sadly. I tried twice to send an invite to my friend Chad, and though it claims to have sent the message, he just isn't getting it. Any idea what's going on? He's chad /at/ brightlycoloredfood.com, if that helps.
While taking missions I frequently open the "read more..." box for the additional info. The problem I have is that my eyesight isn't the greatest and the contrast between the text and background is low enough that I literally can't read it.
Since I installed PMOG Firefox has frequently frozen, pushing CPU usage up to 100% and memory usage to around 600,000k. It looks to be when there is a pop-up window on a site (happened on Amazon when viewing a larger image of a book cover).
Any ideas? I'd rather not uninstall PMOG.
Pmog - I just finished running my third mission, by Merci, I want to do another, and have lost the pop up windows in the bottom right hand corner. I tried re-logging and restarting firefox. Not sure what's going on.. Any advice? I'm user "chaaa"
