Okay, I noticed that many people have been wondering why and which glitches have been happening. I have made a list here of all the possible glitches and feature removals connected to the optimization. I suggest people read here to see if their glitch is here.

Features removed

Trash can: The Trash can has been removed because of the optimization. Carlie has said that it will come back afterwords. Pazx here though has found a way to delete comments. I have made the steps:

1. Go to your 'All comments'(That's below the Messenger)
2. From there you should see the trash can symbols next to the posts.
3. It is possible to delete posts from there.

Please note: It may happen that the posts you attempt to delete don't disappear straight away. It may take up to an hour or more before they do, but the fact is they do.

Armatars in the Messenger: similar to the trash can, this feature has been removed before the site has been updated. Seeing as it doesn't affect people in any negative way except that it is less colorful, it isn't much of a problem.

People active in the Last 5 minutes function: The new users may not know this, but before the optimization started, there was a recently active list at the bottom of the community main page. Just like the above problem, although it was useful and a great tool, it doesn't affect the life style of most people here at armorgames.

The slower way is to check their Abouts to see if the dot is green.

(Carlie has also said that this feature will be up again after updating the site)

The Vote Up function: Although it was a rather misty tool to some, the idea of the vote up was to have great comments be easily recognized for their effort and skill by bolding the text for every vote up. It was mostly for getting merits noticed. But, as some people have pointed out, merit worthy comments stand out from the rest because they are generally long and organized.

Glitches

Red/green activity icon: as many people have complained, the dot on our Abouts seems to be very inaccurate for some. Though I am not sure if this is because they haven't posted in the last 5-10 minutes or a glitch, I will write it here to tell people NOT to worry. Write a comment if you want to be sure.

Ranking glitch: The ranking glitch(I believe it is one) is that you move up ranks dead slow. I myself only get updated every day once, while I'm not active. Don't worry! It will sort itself at some point during inactivity. Be patient.

Post count glitch #1: An example of this glitch can be found here. The idea is that your profile says less posts than you are definitely sure of. Here are the possible reasons:

1. You posted in the forum games section of the forum, which does not give AP or counts as comment posts.

2. It really is a glitch. Wait and hope it solves itself after an hour or so.

Post count glitch #2: I'm not sure if other people have noticed, but when you go onto a thread you posted on earlier, most likely it has less posts than on your About. the number changes when you post in that thread, so it can be solved.

Posts don't appear: Some people may or may not have this problem. People click submit and their post doesn't appear. They have maid sure that they were holding the 30 seconds rule, but it still happens. I have no idea what to do, but for security measures, copy your document before clicking submit.

If there is a feature removal or a non reported glitch, please write here! i will write an updated list whenever a new thing is added to the list.

Readers, for the current list of glitches and features removed, please go to the last page in this thread and hopefully you will find the current list there. If not, head to the previous page.

Wrong! Totally wrong! That is not a glitch: That armatar was available to trial when AG was trialling their new artist. Everyone could use it, just like the holiday armatars. Then, they moved the AP up to wherever it is now.

Yep yep, this is true. However, it shouldn't still be showing up for him... so that most likely is a strange glitch. But everyone did have access to that armatar at one point.

Also, I just wanted to say that this is a great thread! Perhaps it will help answer peoples questions, and help prevent further duplicate threads on these issues. Good job putting it together!

Holiday armatarlyness? They do it toooooo...

Ah yes, on the main community page sometimes it will say 'Mazzelh? Last posted six months ago by '

That is a glitch.

Also, the one where the last poster's name doesn't appear. And the one where it takes you to a blank forum page when you click last post. And the one where it shows A BUTTON FOR EVERY SINGLE GOSH DARN PAGE (eeeep, I nerco'd a thread with that happening)

Ulimited mentioned these earlier on the thread.

Yes, he told me himself...Wonder if he changes his armatar and decides to switch back, what happens...

Indeed Cen. Fantastic whooper that one. Does it go away, or does it stay? Is it just an isolated case? Hopefully...

It seem to me to be an isolated case, as I have only seen it there, but yes, it stays. Which is slightly annoying.

How long has it been happening so far?

And why has the thread name been changed? There are glitches as well and as far as I'm concerned, having a wrong armatar for low AP,wrong latest posts dates etc are not features that are temporarily gone. A bit misleading.

This is weird. The latest post was supposed to be cheze according to the hompage of the SS section. But no, it changed to Milos. Maybe it's just me, but I refreshed the page a few times.

Glitch found. Sometimes the username of the latest post does not appear, leaving a blank space.

There's yet another glitch I would like to call 'Imaginary Friend' Glitch. There's a mysterious 'friend' with no armatar, no name that appears sometimes I think. Lige's profile happened to have one. Though it might be temporary.

Lige's awesome profile

Forgot to mention, that 'friend' was the first on his list.

Once I was in community and I saw a comment which was posted 39 years ago.


If you have read carefully, this glitch has already been reported in the first page. Please do not bring these glitches up again.

Thanks. Always wanted an admins praise. Feel very special now...

Holiday armatarlyness? They do it toooooo...


That was different: They didn't show up in the forums or Profile. Only on Comments, and because they don't have pictures anymore, the whole glitch is gone.

Also, the one where the last poster's name doesn't appear. And the one where it takes you to a blank forum page when you click last post. And the one where it shows A BUTTON FOR EVERY SINGLE GOSH DARN PAGE (eeeep, I nerco'd a thread with that happening)


Pazx, I feel sorry: So much bad luck [Sarcasm]Really, I mean it![Sarcasm/]

I will write the list on a new comment so it doesn't look so messy and is easier to look around at.
