    Off topic but trying to sell someone some wood outside of my posts range, we signed a TT but I don't see their "buy" order anywhere


    Does TT not work for selling (delivering) product to a buyer with TT out of range?

    And if not then add that to the list of improvements.

    Oh yes look at that mess to circumvent the problem yes great job mate.


    Technically you're right it's a line break not a carriage return that I already stated, So reading for the win ;)

    now if you want to impress me get it to allow : and /

    This is your thread, you reported the problem (and not the first person to do so only the most recent), I have no idea why you're wanting to pick a fight with me but all you're doing is working against your own interest here.


    when we both know it's broken.. But I can get as dirty as you like.


    P.S diplomacy pages have no such issue not sure why they don't just copy the validation from that to this or even use separate checks, but what ever I don't work here.

    Rather check your internet provider, probably you got the same IP address as the target player for a while (yes, it happens more often than you think).

    Hmm you might be right I noticed it after I had been logged into my cell phone away from home.. I think cell providers pool their customers into just a few IP's, no real direct IP

    If that's true how does GF deal with that and people not getting banned cause they attacked the same player on their cell phone that some other customer did?

    Can you please provide more details? A screenshot with the displayed error?

    Input box will accept only very limited inputs

    A-Z, 0-9, spaces, you can also use brackets to insert emoji's but you can't for example use the "picture" feature because that requires a http address including : and /

    It wont even accept carriage returns (enter)


    example


    Okay

    Code
    1. 12


    Invalid

    Code
    1. 1
    2. 2


    this feature use to work but has been broken for I dunno 5 years or so?

    Can we please get this fixed not the first time it's been reported and it did work at one time.

    People who had their player info setup before the bug are still fine, like grandfathered in but can't change/edit it.

    I use to have a picture on mine but image host started charging and I didn't upgrade to their paid plan I could never update the picture.



    Please fix this it can't be that difficult to fix the input validation

    100% on all this


    Especially the bug fix for large buy orders, bugs like this should not be allowed to fester for years, it can't be that complicated to fix.
    I don't want to insult the dev team but c'mon guys.. and gals.

    Im getting ready to complain AGAIN about the player info not accepting anything but a-z, 0.9 and spaces which has been going on even longer


    The clap back on that is not many people use it.. well it's broken.. so it's circular logic.

    Makes me wonder what other bugs/exploits go unnoticed/fixed.

    Anyone seen this before? I been pillaging this inactive account for days on 1 particular account today it's showing all actions locked out due to ipsharing.

    Okay that's weird, So just for the hell of it I checked all accounts on that server.. ALL of them show disabled actions due to ipsharing.



    this makes no sense at least 1 account should be able to act on the town but nope.. NONE of them can today for some reason.. mind you I was not mixing it up with multipel accounts taking turns either


    it's been 1 single account pillaging 1 single town by 1 single player for days.

    Cray cray.

    Restart your router. If you have dynamic IP, after a restart the IP will change and the issue might go away

    ya my ISP won't hand out a new IP until the lease is up so I just changed the mac address on the router and reset the modem.
    But ya it was probably an IP ban because when the IP changed everything was good again.. how that happen I don't know.

    Or change browser.

    Not the browser, not even the device cell phone would work if it was on Data, not on Wifi, so it was either some sort of problem at the ISP that a normal router/modem reboot wouldn't fix or it was an IP ban.

    My guess is IP ban but how that came about I don't know.

    Hmm seems like a problem on my end, loads with my phone with wifi off but not on home connection.. Pretty sure it's not my router, and it's not the DNS servers.

    Thinking either something wrong with ISP or somehow my IP has been blacklisted but if that's the case I'd expect nothing to work not just 1 server, anyone ever seen this with Ikariam?

    No need to be in 24 hour mode. Level 1 wall can builed up in some seconds, even during a fight. Of course you need to have army in there to take as much time.

    But in the other hand a wall level 30 falls in just 1 round.

    I don't know either

    never ran into anyone using this tactic but low level walls are useless if you're trying to win a fight, lv1 is a liability if you have an army because it acts as a front line which will go insta splat taking out your gunmen and mortars, swords won't be on the field either.

    So ya a low level wall will actually get you wrecked at least for 1 round.

    Only thing it's going to do is buy you time if you have at least 1 front line unit because it will push the fight to the next round.
    But this would already happen even if the wall was already up before the fight started.


    if the wall does indeed come and go it could be used with creative use of the battlefield troops but to a degree you can do that already

    I personally wouldn't recommend the no wall strategy but I haven't seen it used so maybe im wrong.

    i would appreciate if this becomes true in future versions. what others think about it? to avoid spam it should be set every 1M or other amount reached.

    Honestly this isn't a bad idea but let me tweak it.


    How about in the Agora there is a sub tab that has a log of all activity on the island not just donations example:


    Player donated

    Town founded

    Town abandoned

    Priests adjusted: X player set priests to Y amount


    These could be time stamped and be a rolling 30 days, I also think the Agora needs to be longer I miss messages in there not that it's used that often though.

    This means there would be no need for notification at all avoiding spam but at least it's there if anyone needs/wants to look at it.

    Another idea might be to list "last donated" on the mills page so at a glance you can see the last time that person contributed.
