Guide Problems/Errors

posted on May 27th, 2010, 5:39 pm

I keep getting the following error when attempting to access the guide.

A Database Error Occurred
Unable to connect to your database server using the provided settings.

Any thoughts?

Hello Dom,
i just flipped through some pages on your marvelous guide website and i think i found a little bug (or typo?):

FO FAQ -> A few of the most commonly asked questions -> Installing and setting up FO -> Do I have to install the official Armada II 1.1 Patch after installing Fleet Operations? -> "[...] you don’t even don't need a preinstalled Armada II [...]"

Isn't that a little bit of a double negation, so one REALLY needs a preinstalled A2???

Hope this helps!

in boggz new map section it lists asteroid halma as a 2-3 player map, its a 4 player map.

On the Etiquette page, the exploit section is titled 'Cheating and the Ilk'. Is it supposed to say that?

  Yeah it's actually also listed in the correct section.  I just put it in both for some silly reason .

That is indeed correct - sometimes I use words that aren't so... common I suppose  . Ilk is "like" - so that would be "Cheating and 'similar things' ". I just find the word 'ilk' to be more pleasing

It's intentional? I'm not familier with it, so I thought it was a typo.
