Well, exactly. As long as you're only playing, you'll probably never need to know the toyNums.
Also, newbs will never grow out of noobs if people would have to spoon feed them - they need to learn to figure out this sort of stuff by themselves.

No, that's not what I said, although I believe you can figure that out on your own.
What I meant to say is that people could manage not to be a newb for not knowing the toyNums, so it isn't really an important issue to be resolved. In fact, the only time you'd ever need to know the toyNums are if you're a developer, or if you're hosting a server and you want it to brute-force a certain toy.

Can the option to disable %2 codes be added? It gets quite annoying when sharing URLs on Arc that includes %20s in it, because you'd have to manually add an extra % sign before it or the URL gets messed up.
You don't have to completely remove it, since %2 does have a use for AFK macros... but if it can't be made into an option so if one person disables it, it isn't necessarily applied to everyone else (since I judge the %2s work like the bleep censors), then... well, personally, I wouldn't mind it being removed.
Honestly, %2 doen't really have any significant use in Arcadia, other than for AFK macros... And I think I'm the only one who use it like that.

But Beo, it isn't just %2 that would be a problem. All of the %# macros would cause a problem, depending on the URL. Though %2 is probably among the most common one. But a /url or /escape command or something indicating to not interpret the chat command would be useful.

Hesa, not all of the people on the Internet are smart enough to do that... although I won't name names here
You could go tell Wikipedia that instead. They do indeed use the underscore to replace the space, but they still use parenthesis at some points.
And Gup, I know %2 isn't the only thing that could be the issue... but the %3, %4, and the %5 all have more useful usage than the %2, and they don't really need to be disabled imo (with the exception of the %3 that can be easily abused by spammers). Basically it's just the %2 people can do without.

If they're not smart enough to do that, how smart could their links be?

I've seen webpages designed by idiots... so in this case, yes.

Well, as long as we can relay the information we wanted, it really won't matter.
Now, any real feedbacks?

Arc seems to grab inputs from joysticks even when it's inactive. For example, you can join a game of synJet, switch window to something else and move your joystick, causing your plane in synJet to move in spite of Arcadia's inactivity.
As amusing as it is to be able to play two games at a time, e.g. Arcadia and ePSXe ^.^;, I still find this syndrome to be a glitch.

If an entry for your soul diary gets too old (I'm guessing somewhere around 2555 days old, or 7 years old), the "last seen date" will overflow to a negative value, as shown below.
Remedy? Delete older entries, of course I know I just like to hold on to the records of ancient players just so I could keep track of them if they ever come back on Arc.
Anyways, bugs are bugs so I'd thought I'd report it. I found it interesting to see cute and harmless bugs like this, too

Welcome back, by the way.

No, well, I deleted your face and diary entry.
Just kidding, I still have it
Though I believe that your face (FANTASY.Silent Knight 2.bmp if I remember correctly) is included with the Arcadia installer so every new player should already have your face.

Any clue what the filename was? I just looked through all of the skins I had since 2002, and I couldn't find anything with your name in it, other than the one I mentioned in the previous post.
