1 in thread Increased Tax on Foreign Ports in 1.4? [Test Server Discussion]
Thanks for pointing this out. I've added the info to Answer 829 (Release Notes for 1.4.25.0) because the change was in the first 1.4 build.

1 in thread How do I get my keybindings to test [Test Server Discussion]
They're stored in My Documents\Pirates of the Burning Sea\keybindings.xml. Which means they should be the same for Live and Testbed. Except that we periodically change the format when we add or rearrange keybindings and using the old format won't work. But it's XML - text - so feel free to make a backup and muck with it and copy it around as you like.

I don't understand the question. Can you clarify?

To follow up on what Marion noted above -- one of the two items is already in the Copyright violation review bucket, and the other is only a report or two away from being in there, as well.

I will also note that based on the feedback we've seen this week, we soon plan to add the ability to provide directed feedback for copyright violation reports, so you can provide the reviewers with a link to an external resource containing the original copyright holder's property.

That will help us verify that the item is, in fact, a copyright violation and get it out of the system.

Not sure I understand -- the Report links open a Javsscript dialog, then submit the form. Once you've voted on a pair of items, you can't simply vote on them again by opening the next items in a new window or tab.

Am I understanding the question correctly?

No, it does not stop counting votes once your posting credits limit is reached; it simply stops giving you new posting credits for your votes.

If you would, log a support incident with DXDIAG from that machine.

1 in thread Jungle Missions? [Test Server Discussion]
The revamp that happened has happened. It didn't touch all the jungle missions and didn't change absolutely everything. If you have suggestions for additional changes, let us know.

how do I flag them both as a copyright violation?
You can do your part by clicking "This is a copyrighted image" for one of them. Others will -- and possibly already have -- done their part by doing the same for either. That's the way the system works, and from what we've seen so far it does a good job of catching things like this.

We actually have other plans for highlighting outstanding User Content, but right now they're waiting for us to put the final bows and ribbons on UC 2.0 before working to roll them out.
