People with large post counts should not get special titles.

Lifers maybe should though.......lifetime sub is still very expensive, so the only reason to pay so much is out of support for the site.

if you go to the PLUS pages http://apolyton.net/plus/ now and proceed to buy a lifetime subscription, what you have already paid for your current subscription will count towards lifetime. so you'll have lower price

you will see the price prior to clicking on the "buy now" button....

Additionally, I thought it would be neat in the place where "LIFER" is if a special "ETERNAL" was available for Life time members whom also were Dieties?

interesting thought, requiring a small piece of coding. added on the to-do list

I am on my quest and just a byline

I have actually learned about History more by playing all these civ games

I know people critique my multitude of attachments as well as varying range..

But in searching out for them I have learned about uniforms, battle gear,formations, and other interesting tidbits

Again,

Thanks for hosting my Favorite site

Question ... I thought Plusers were supposed to be immune to the load-saving features like not dl'ing civgroup icons and whatnot. Why do I often not see civgroup icons on some or all of the people in a thread i read (usually including myself)?

I may be wrong but I believe it was during heavy traffc times

but it wouldnt be my first time I was wrong

[Tassadar500]

Huh? The only time load saving features come into effect are in heavy traffic times, which means the only time PLUS members would have that immunity is in heavy traffic times.

By the way, congratulations on Deity status.

The appearance/exclusion of country flags and civgroup icons seems random from poster to poster within threads at pretty much any time for me. Don't know how long ago it started, but its been months at least...

[FlameFlash]

I concur with Rommel on that one.

I know my civgroups appear rather randomly...

[Kloreep]

Same as Rommel. Some of you in this very thread are missing civgroup icons for me while others are not.

[Rommel2D]

About the flags- that appeard to be a seperate issue, as mine seems to have been turned off without my noticing at some point...

[MarkG]

your flag may have been set to null if an admin edited your account (like when you joined the team)

[Rommel2D]

Yeah, that's about when I remember first noticing it. No idea really how long the civgroups have been flakey (is Doc supposed to have any?)...

[DrSpike]

Not at present.

[sabrewolf]

a request to markg for apolytonPLUS:

would it be possible to get the advantage of wider images for ACS+ subscribers? pretty often i've run into problems when posting a screenshot and seeing that 800px width is not enough. resizing just often looks crappy so i thought that a potential limit of 1000px would be better.

i guess it won't screw up the design for people with >=1280px width and people with 1024px width are anyhow used to horizontal scrolling. also, when using external images by linking them with the [ IMG]...[ /IMG] tag the size is not an issue.

is this proposal thinkable?

Then it does seem to be a traffic issue that PLUSers aren't exempt from. Everyone's CGs were visible last night when I made that post, but about half are missing now.

Those icons aren't a big deal to me as far as consistancy (not as helpful as flags), but in case its something that should be fixed...
