RPGWatch Updates, Bug reports and Feature requests

Just as a kind of sidenote ... I'm currently seeing a screenshot of Might & Magic VII ... Sub-Title: "For Blood & Honour" ...

That "blood & honour" thing is a direct translation of the motto of Nazi Youth organisation ... And it is frequently used even today, because the German original of these words is forbidden in Germany ...

I give you a link for background information, although it is only in German language:
http://www.jurawelt.com/gerichtsurteile/pressemitteilungen/strafrecht/bgh/2009/284858

I'm a bit touchy about these things.

It looks like the search field on the front page is broken. I enter "King's Bounty", select RPGWatch, and click search. It goes to a blank page and nothing happens.

Remove the apostrophe, i.e. "Kings Bounty". I had the same problem a couple of days ago but forgot about it. Myrthos will probably know how to fix it. ;)

The server appears to be quite slow for me - or am I the only one experiencing this ?

Also pretty slow for me since yesterday. Still okay, but definitely slower than usual.

I've added a small piece of Javascript to the forums related to VigLink.
What happens is that if you click on a link that leads to a site where games can be purchased (or something else) and they have a deal with Viglink, we get a percentage of what you are buying.

I'm trying this out at the moment, to see if it brings anything, but especially if it has downsides.

Although it complies to our forum rules (see the FAQ) I figured it was only fair to inform you of this change.

On what blocking list is that?

I don't know... I do know that GOG was blocked, too. I may get the subscription service's name in a bit, but the corporate IT guys are purposely opaque.

I know in the past there were troubles. Maybe these lists are really slow to update?

Is all malware gone?

UPDATE: it could be the GOG ads. Or some other bad links on this site....

In many cases, it is not actually the site you are trying to access that is suspect. For example, many sites you access via the Internet contain links to additional sites that you did not specifically intend to access. Some of these sites containing legitimate advertisements, but other contain malware. If this type of site is associated with the legitimate site you access, it will simply be blocked and you won’t be aware of it.

That issue was somewhere last year and has been resolved at that time.
Let me know what blocking list is being used and I try to get us removed.
