  1. I challenge you to get me above 15 FPS.
  2. In our latest Master Level quest, fight your way to The Elder Kiln to unearth the secret of the TzHaar?s origins and meet the mysterious TokHaar, before putting your fighting skills to the test in our rock-hard new combat minigame, the Fight Kiln. Both benefit from a full graphical rework of the TzHaar city and race, and also feature our first Early Bird Bonuses for those completing the content within two weeks of release!

  3. It's just the header, with the same table style as the Lime/Blue skins. Also, if you didn't read my main post, perhaps you should. I stated a dark version is still in progress.
  4. Didn't like yours, only similarity to the homepage was the main bar. We wanted a house style.
  5. To all the ones complaining, there's a skin selector at the bottom left. Choose another skin.
  6. Just a quick update. The drop down for Users should now work, I'm still working on the Edit one however. Thanks for reporting them.
  7. Looks like they're Chrome specific bugs as they don't happen on Firefox. The position of those menus is calculated through Javascript, so there's obviously something being calculated incorrectly and giving them a false position. I'll look in to it tomorrow.
  8. No problemo! Glad you like it.
  9. 300 x 300 is way too large for an avatar.
  10. Hello guys, I've been working ******* a new skin for Pure Warfare for quite some time. I've attempted a couple of designs to get the feel of the forums right but they just didn't work the way I wanted them to. Now after a bit of trial and error I've managed to come up with a "house style" skin. A "house style" is basically a preferred manner of presentation, meaning consistency. Our homepage and forums now have a default style which matches. This has been our aim for quite some time and I think with this skin we've finally achieved that look. Since it is new there may be bugs and things that don't work the way you expect them to. We have tested the skin on the major browsers, Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer and Safari, but if you do happen to come across a bug which you feel needs fixing then please let us know on the following topic: http://www.pure-warfare.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=24170 If you'd like to see the new skin select "PW - Light" from the skin selector at the bottom left of the forums. Or simply view the boards as a guest. I am also working on a "Dark" version but an ETA isn't available currently. Also, if you don't like the new skin, you can always register/login to gain access to our skin selector! I hope you enjoy the new style! Regards, Karl
  11. Is it just me or does this kid dress like Charlie Sheen?
  12. Looks good, but there's one thing I don't understand. Most people would read it as Team Pkers Notorious. Unless, of course, they know who NP is. Would be better with Team at the top middle, then switch Team for Notorious. Just seems logical that way.
  13. I remember when people were forced to be loyal because if you left and joined another clan you were seen as a "clan hopper" which was a very bad thing back then!
  14. :) yeah we are Your signature conveys a different message, irony. ;)
  15. Keep the flame to a minimum, or pay the consequences.
  16. Any more flame/baits from this point on and I'll see you in a month.

  18. Hello guys, Unfortunately account hijacking or (hacking to some people who don't know the real term) is rife within the RuneScape community. Don't think a close knit community like ours is any better. There are always people who want to steal accounts, mainly for their items, etc. There are several ways people do this and I'm going to let everyone know how, so you can protect yourselves. The easiest way is by using your email address, if you use the same email for everything, whether the password is different or not, you're making it easy for a "hacker" to gain access to your account. One simple method they could use after finding out your email is to send you $0.01 via paypal. Paypal is a huge hub for information, upon sending the money the person will know your name, address, email, and from knowing that they can find out your ISP. Find your Facebook, should you have it and that way find even more information about you. Basically, the "hacker" is trying to gather as much information as they can about you in order to recover your account. How can you ensure safety? Make a separate email address which isn't linked to your RuneScape account on clan forums, and even here. Pure Warfare only needs a valid email address for two reasons, to stop spam bots and so you can recover your forum account should you forget your password. So you don't need to use your main email address here, or anywhere for that matter. Once they know your email address and quite a bit of information about you, they can get even more information about your RuneScape account. They can gain access to your email address quite easily, by recovering that. Many people pay their membership through Debit/Credit cards so your email will have the payment information they need to help recover your account more successfully. tl;dr: Use a different email address for clans, forums, etc, than what you use for your RuneScape, Paypal, Facebook. Whenever you register on a forum, whenever you post, your IP address is logged. If you register on a rival clans forum, they will have this information and could sell that information to help further with the recovery of your account. If you've read this far, well done. So far from knowing your email address the hacker now has: Your full name Your address Your ISP Your payment details Your IP address They could even have enough information to guess your recovery questions, or simply check the box saying "I didn't set these". Now, another way people attempt to gain access to your account is by putting a java drive-by. This is a download which happens without your knowledge and is an attempt at keylogging you. Most people that use this method will try to use a "silent" java drive-by. Basically, this is one that is invisible to your antivirus, this could be done by obfuscating the code. These are hard to find and get rid of. If you do think you have one, either do a system restore or try to find an expert to help you locate it. A RAT is similar, it installs without your knowledge and gives the "hacker" remote access to your system. It also will try to hide itself from any antivirus you have. The best way to ensure you don't get these is to have an antivirus and keep it updated at all times. You could also attempt to block port 3389 on your computer, which is the default port for remote access via your firewall. In order to ensure complete safety make sure you have all of these steps covered. Have an antivirus and keep it up to date Don't visit random websites which don't look secure Keep a separate email address from your real life Change your IP address regularly Don't publish so much information on social networking sites, or at least, keep them set to private/friends only. Make sure you set recovery questions on your RuneScape account Keep your email address secure Block port 3389 on your firewall Securing your facebook: Go to privacy settings: Change the default privacy to friends, then go through each of the settings below and make them friends only, or hidden completely. I hope this has helped people to ensure their account remains safe. A lot of this is just common sense, but anything you put on the internet can and will probably be used against you at some point.
