I can also finally sign out without getting an error message, but this could be due to my browser, not the website.

I tip my hat to the online team.

Achronos, any ideas about why "when you make a post you see "New Mombasa Halo 2 General" go to "New Mombasa Halo 2 Xbox General" and "The Maw Halo PC" go to "The Maw Halo 2 Vista / Halo PC"."?

And jmh9072, I thought it would be that we're using Firefox that we noticed the change. :)

I am really glad to see that the Join Date is gone, now people can't really be jerks unless they try. Although, it is said to say that people are immature enough and abusive enough to the point where it had to be removed.

A couple interesting reads for people who want to know more about Windows Live ID

Whitepaper

http://winliveid.spaces.live.com/

The second link looks more "readable" than the first, but it's too late to try and read it now. Maybe tomorrow. :)

Nice find.

We updated Passport to "Passport RPS 4.0", otherwise known as "Windows Live ID". As such, there might be a little weirdness with the login for a bit. There is only so much of that system that we can test in preproduction. Please send issues to [email]bnetbugs@microsoft.com.[/email] I do know that the Meet the Team page is not generating its page anymore, I'll look into that, that was unintentional.


little lazy fix for you uncle achy ^_~

yea i noticed these changes too and posted about them in the flood as i'm too used to that place.

Good. Hopefully this will stop some of the flaming.

So, um, uh.... when's that search feature going to see the light of day?

Hhmm... perhaps the extra space is reserved for the top five targets to use the giant slingshot on...


Good point. I do like that the date is no longer on. Maybe there will be less elitism.

Oh, I suspect that they'll find something else to focus on.

We've effectively eliminated;

* Race
* Nationality
* Gender
* Religion
* Age
* Length of Membership
* Number of Posts

Trust me, it will be something. It will be petty, it will be arbitrary, it will be pointless and silly. But the human drive to draw lines between "us and them" will never be denied. Until people come to the "Pogo Realization" it will always be an issue.


Human stupidity perhaps? I think a stupidity filter would be swell.

Location: Outlaws' Summit.

Achronos: Words cannot describe how this feels. Finally. And just yesterday, someone was boasting to me about how there is a group for the "05'ers". I would have loved to see his face, but I'll show some class and not mention his blatant rudeness.

That being said, I honestly appreciate this decision. Now there is no more need for people to say "StFU, you're from '06", as I have still been hearing this up to yesterday. However, as mentioned, people will always find something to draw lines with. But at least with this step, one big one has been thoroughly erased.

Thank you.

Agreed...but it is a shame that it had to be taken away in the first place. People should be respectful, responsible, and mature. But sadly, they aren't.

I clicked on it!

My eyes! My eyes!


It wasn't -blam!-...just flush your eyes with water every 15 minutes for an hour or so. You shall be fine...

Hello Sarge? Can you not see? Are you not worthy!?

There is a search function! It has been disabled, but it's there!

Hopefully all the immature people are staying away from The Septagon, and if they are, they'll never see this post...

Yeah, I've noticed that apart from HaloChick4Ever, none of the more... ill-informed members have wandering into here.
