Boxcar STILL doesn't have a news filter and it's infuriating for an FA.

Any other good hosting sites out there?

what is a news filter?

like narrowing the news fields down to only 2 alliances...etc

for instance, if i want to see ONLY EVO and PDM hits (both attacks and defends), it's impossible in Boxcar.

funny that an insanely useful site like Boxcar doesn't even have this very useful feature. this lack of feature makes me not even want to do FA anymore at all.

FREEEEEDOM!!!

qzGT has an option where you can either choose whether to display an attack alliance (or alliances) -> defend alliance (or alliances) or just display all hits between alliances. Is that what you're looking for?

I am a troll. Everything I say must be assumed to be said solely to provoke an exaggerated reaction to the current topic. I fully intend to bring absolutely no substance to any discussion, ongoing or otherwise. Conversing with me is pointless.

Hmm... yes, to answer your topic, qzGT is the best EE hosting site, from my experience at least.

Pang, just as a disclaimer, I am not blaming you at all for anything. You're hosting the site and you're busy running EE. I totally understand.

But I still want that feature! :P

I didn't take it that way -- I've been very frank that since EE started, Boxcar has fallen into disrepair somewhat as a result of numerous factors. We're looking at resolving many of these issues as we move forward, which will allow for more silo'ed development (to allow others to code stuff besides me and TC) along with changes which will make it less time consuming for me to write major updates.

The combination should be positive for everyone :p

Could you send me that PM also? I have been echoing what TAN originally posted about for a while, albeit not quite so eloquently as TAN. I would love to see some of the options and utilities that used to be available in EarthGraphs implemented in BC.

(keep in mind that I cannot even properly set my alarm clock, so I look upon what the Dev team does pretty much as if they were the wizard behind the curtain)

Are Pang and co. still working on Boxcar stuff? I thought Pang posted that he was going to work full-time on EE from now on and leave Boxcar to its own devices unless someone else could take over for him.
