Alright, a couple of people mentioned they were having trouble logging in and well, staying logged in. Here is a little help for you after I was working on assisting a member. RvR also helped me deduce some of these things. Poor Saki has been the unfortunate guinea pig. Any problems reported by members have been using Internet Explorer so we'll focus there with some ideas to help. 1. There is a version of IE through MSN, called MSN Explorer, that seems to not want to connect to the site even with cookies enabled at 'medium' which is the guideline for connecting to the site. I suggest for now, since sites mostly are set suitable to view in IE, Mozilla (such as Firefox) and Opera etc, that if you have MSN Explorer, you may want to switch back to regular IE or another browser. The problem is being looked into but that's the best option for the moment. 2. Make sure cookies are enabled. Here is a site that will help you be able to do this. http://www.google.com/cookies.html . If you have any problems after, post here and as we find out what problems there are, we'll fix this bit by bit. 3. The next suggestion is that if your Username and password are the same, please change the password to something else as the site won't allow that. 4. You may want to go to the Microsoft website and update your java 'virtual machine' to current and also ensure that IE accepts the java. I will work out directions for this once I have a solid method as I do not use IE or MSN Explorer. If your java is up to date then look on still. 5. This finally worked to get IE going right for Saki so hopefully it may be the last answer needed. I am not sure what the commands are for MSN Explorer as it seems to have no 'advanced' option but here's how it goes in Internet Explorer. Go to: tools>internet option>advanced>reset then hit close or 'ok' if the option is there and try to see if this helps. 6. Lastly, try checking some 'addons' you may have with IE that may be causing conflicts. Disable addons and then go down the list adding them one by one back and see if you can find the culprit. To view the site then, you will want to disable that addon each time you log in for the moment. Hopefully these suggestions work and at least this way we can keep track of the problems and work them out together. If there are any other issues you may have since the current updated version of VB was added that pertain to connections, freezing of a browser and such, please post here and we'll try to get you all the help we can. Please, if there's some other problem such as you don't like the top bar being scrunched in right now and other visual issues, don't post here pertaining to that as the site will need to be altered because it is a skin issue. This will be changed but there's nothing currently that is being done and what you are seeing is not an error on your end. Also, before attempting these things, if you are nervous about doing so, not being computer savvy etc, feel free to leave a post here describing your issue and I'll be happy to get with you through here or IM. I don't want anyone to be ruining their computers or anything! If nothing else works for you, you might want to lastly consider switching to another internet browser. Some options are below with safe sites to download from. Firefox - http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefo...m_medium=ppc&gclid=CILn5bORv5UCFQuwGgodRSjGQA Google Chrome - http://www.google.com/chrome/index....=en-ha-na-us-sk&utm_medium=ha&utm_term=chrome Opera - http://www.opera.com/download/ Apple Safari - http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ There are others out there but I can't recommend them as I have not given them a try or they sucked to me so yeah... I would hope that you can use a browser you are accustomed to but if you want to give some others a whirl, the list above is what's the best.
It has the potential to give more options and all. It may take some getting used to at first but there are more things you can do so bear with it and hopefully the few problems there are will be ironed out soon.
There are a couple people who are and since they might check here first, I thought it a good idea to post it here. RvR is posting about the changes to the forum in the Forum News area I believe.

After this game ends, I'll close it here and make a new thread. The rules are also on the first page here so any questions feel free to ask. As soon as you came in posting with interest, you are now a detective part of the investigation. Welcome aboard.
You guys might want to check and see if you have cookies enabled on your browser. Here's a site to double-check that. http://www.google.com/cookies.html . Hopefully the bugs will be worked out here so hang in there. I'm trying to help out Saki. Ashwa, what browser do you use?
I just meant that the Body is not the original body and is a NEW one, unlike what happens with the Vampires. Their bodies are mutated and altered by the connection of the blood and the original spirit to which they derived. The Nobodies do not have their original Bodies, hence the name. It isn't just that they lost Hearts but their actual former forms. That's why the new Nobodies look 'similar' to their previous selves but aren't the same. Whether or not they have 'blood' can be debated, sure but it isn't the exact point I was getting off and I went off on a tangent. Sorry. Hope this clarifies what I meant more. I have to stop writing late when I lack sleep as my mind wanders. The vampires in Anne Rice novels can do sexual acts but the act of 'sex' itself does nothing for them. There are quite a few examples of this in the novels that the blood 'gets them off' and is the closest best feeling to 'sex' they can have. For Nobodies, I think that they too, since they lack emotions, probably wouldn't care so much about 'sex' itself and well with each other, it'd be rather very boring and essentially...well I could get graphic but this is a PG-13 site so I won't. It would probably be more 'intimate' to a Nobody though to have sex not with another Nobody since they'd get nothing from sex but to say give someone else pleasure, the same with the Anne Rice vampires. The KH 'elements' aren't basic elements but instead Elements of Existence. I do not believe Marluxia has the element of death and most other people don't either considering every site that has Marluxia on it, unless it's a 'fan guess' says his element is Plant/nature. We don't know fully what Marluxia could do with his Element because he's only ever 'fighting' with it. Classifying him with plant though makes more sense than saying 'death' in any way as all Nobodies can kill and also it goes with the theme of Lexaeus - earth, Larxene - lightning, Vexen - Ice, Roxas - Light, Axel - fire, Demyx - Water, etc. Also, even the timed attack could be symbolic of some poisons used etc. His abilities just lean more that way and I doubt he'd get the whole 'nature' element to himself or 'death' as it is not balanced and makes no sense. The Kinesis stuff was cool and I get them all. I wasn't saying it was a bad idea to use. I was just pointing out that the light that Roxas uses is not just illuminating light and that shadows could work for Zexion but illusion is more a mind thing of deception. I wasn't saying that it was 'bad' or something. I thought it was cool. :/ Sleep well!
Lust's post... = the end of thread.
lol Pyro. I played that prank on a friend of mine senior year and it was hilarious even if she was bruising my arm after and asking 'how could you?!'. Good stuff!
I run away with my Boots of Escaping.
Accusation Xephos is dragged down to the police station interrogation room, and there he is tickle tortured while listening to bad AbbA and Elvis impersonators that sing their greatest hits in the worst ways possible...though of course, they believe they are 'dead on'. Xephos wails and pleads he's not the kira which no one believes until at last his house is scoured and searched. There is no evidence to be found of the notebook so Xephos is released, even if he now has a permanent face twitch. Death: DemoN:||D@ys: 11am Pacific. Walking down the street, rummaging through a newspaper stand, you just can't find what you are looking for. Jimmy Buffet walks by and bumps into you and you are so ecstatic to meet the ancient singer that you die on the spot of a heart attack. Roxas 13, obviously you didn't read the rules I had posted a few times or on the first page that say 'dead men don't talk'. No more accusations out of you until you are restored at the game's end. You can chat and such but no clues, accusations etc, because dead people are eliminated from the round. After this game we will be moving it though I'm confused why it is such a big deal to a couple of you. ICSP and I talked it over though and we'll move it. I debate though moving it to the competitive area instead but either way if we repost a new game here it won't matter. And everyone, this is still round 13. The kira has not been found yet.
That's it! I want a divorce!
Aqua <3 <3 . Their music is so weird and yeah, it always sounds perverted.
Absol got my vote. Absol has a great sense of humor though not all have seen it.
Oh I was so torn but voted for Pyro, the hot chick.
DF ftw! I love his writing. He's very talented, though viewing some of the others on the list, it made it a tough choice.
All of them are so great but I voted for Coco in the end. We really have some very talented artists here. I'm impressed.
Take care, Pyro! Alright, it's 1:25 am and I have school so I'll be back in a few hours. Rawr.
Invisible text ftw!!!!
I voted VGN as he's grown and matured quite a bit and a lot of people had issues with him to begin with, though I didn't, and he seems fair much better now.
