Yeah, that's the images we mean.  

[Japofran]

I don't know why they aren't displayed but anyone should be able to see and download them from these links:

http://www.reloaded....min-button2.png
http://www.reloaded....s/mod-badge.png

Etc. if any

[Doubler]

Thanks. That way I retrieved the long lost 'owner' and 'submin' badges

Why did we update the forums, again?

Bot attacks  

[Flop]

Oh yeah. I remember those...

Wow... when I posted this thread, who would have thought that it would get the gears turning.

All I can say is

I can’t wait for the new (fixed) skin.

[Japofran]

I checked the IPB skin and the reason why the images aren't displayed is of course a "file not found" error. That skin looks for the images at

http://www.reloaded....s/1/team_icons/

whereas they actually are at

http://www.reloaded....Pro/team_icons/

where the AR Pro skin does look instead. (Add the filename e.g. "mod-badge.png" after the last "/".)

If you're going to tamper with the forum administration, this shouldn't be hard to fix.

--------------------

Another problem, more inaccessible to fix surely, since it's in the site not the forum--but it's not such a big deal in comparison. I noticed shortly after my Iji review was up, that it had been rated an insane amount of times in a short time. The cause is of course bots, but not only bad bots: here's proof that Google's bots follow the rate links (all of them randomly):

http://www.google.co...d...rg&filter=0

(Fortunately the uniformly random distribution among the ratings gives ground to think that the effect on the average rating isn't so bad.) The really kosher thing would be letting registered users only rate games. You could also prevent the good bots from visiting them, either by adding a rel="nofollow" attribute to those links, or by editing the robots.txt file.

Ok, I checked a few things and the problem was that it was configured as a dynamic link based on the skin someone used. The badges should be fixed now, aside from the 'owner' badge. No worries there; that's only an issue should Kosta suddenly turn up
As for the other issue, it's not something we can solve at this time.

Brilliant work Doubler  

[Doubler]

I think Japofran had more to do with it then me, but thanks

[Japofran]

Nah you just have to right-click on the image (or lack thereof) and choose properties to see its URL.

I hadn't even noticed how the two paths are analogous, they difer in a folder with the name of the skin. It must be a feature so that each skin can get different team icons. And the problem was then that they forgot to provide any images for all but one of the skins.

[Doubler]

It wasn't an issue before the update, as there was only one skin available for use. No need to have multiple badges for skins nobody can use, right?
Or perhaps this entire feature wasn't there yet, and the dynamic part was 'inserted' as part of the update. I guess we'll never know.

[Japofran]

Yep if you just take back the ONE Maikel's AR skin and make it work, I'll be a happy Japo. i won't then care if there are other skins or not since I won't be insterested in them.
