News: (Bregi, sabretooth, Alice)

New challenge is online, Early Signs by skraeling, many thanks :)

First of all, welcome from my side here; Alice. Looking forward to work with you.. Finally a new challenge is online, Partial, by mego. Many thanks (Season 5).

Wow a news item in red... It's that time I'm afraid. As of today I (sabretooth) step down from my position as admin, and Alice steps up as my replacement. All changes on the site to reflect this shall be done tomorrow (08/09/08) Please make Alice feel welcome in her new position.

Impossible not to notice I know, but terms of service page is up. You need to agree to this to continue to use the site. Looking for somewhere decent to put the link now...

Due to poor health and other situations, sabretooth is totally away for a week, maybe two. All correspondence to Bregi please during this time. Will post again when active.

S4 exploit, A Smart Guy, online. Made by Phobo. Many thanks!!

user.php works fine again.

Having technical issues at the moment. Bear with me.

sabretooth is active again :)

Our newest challenge is called Double Vision and it's brought to you by mego, thanks a lot for this great challenge mego :)

Our most received question: When will the next challenge be up? Bregi and I have decided not to upload any challenges of our own for a while, so we can concentrate on using our ideas for seasons 5 and 6 when they are aired. We will, however, still be uploading challenges from other users. Our next one up will be from mego - Bregi is handling this, and the one after will be from Phobo - I am handling this one. Regards.

Once again as you can all see, my 'inactivity' on the site means very little :P I just updated our FAQ and have started making challenge corrections (spelling, grammar etc etc) If you see anything alter or any small changes, it is just me doing my rounds.

For all those of you who thought the series was complete..... S5 special Characters IV online ;)

S3 The Cave II now online

I changed Dharma Stations last night so it made more sense. Unfortunately, this also made it easier. Therefore I have moved this to S2

S3, Dharma Stations online.

Season 3, Poem Riddles online.

Lost-Chall now has an IRC channel! You can join us on server: irc.quakenet.org channel: #lost-chall

Bregi, back :)

Starlight, S2 online

Faked, S2 online, hope you enjoy it. /me is away again a few days until monday.

Maintenance complete for today and bug fixed. If any problems arise from this (eg, challenges not working, important info missing etc etc) please contact sabretooth explaining the problem. Thank you.

I am going to be working on the site later today (28/07/2008), fixing an annoying bug, and performing a few maintenance tasks that are well overdue. If you experience downtime for whatever reason, please be patient while I sort things out. Maintenance is scheduled for 14:00(GMT) until 17:00(GMT), though downtime is expected to be no more than 5 mins ;)

People with the same amount of points will now be ranked the same. Sorry for the temporarly rank 2 Alice ;)

Vincent FTW! S2 online. Part-tested by Jonas. Enjoy.

Reference back up. Shall be secure now.

Reference S4 taken down temporarily to fix a serious XSS hole. Thanks to criple_ripper for reporting. Should be back up later or tomorrow at latest.

FAQ

 

Can you help me if I'm stuck?
Of course, just write an e-mail to me (lostchall at gmail dot com) or sabretooth (sabretoothian at gmail dot com) and tell me where you've got problems and what you tried so far and I will answer back. (I won't tell you the solution or spoil anything, only hints)

Are you logging my entries?
In some places yes.

Are the solutions case-sensitive?
Some are, best you try both ways if you're not sure. But mostly you can see it in the way you found the solution.

Are the pictures important?
Some are, some not. It should not be too difficult to find that out.

Where can I set the picture of the ranking page?
Log in to the forum and set the picture in your profile. Max 100x100

Can I bruteforce the site ?
NO!

When will the next challenge be up?
One we get almost daily. We have decided to lessen the frequency of new challenges. This is so we can still have enough ideas for seasons 5 and 6 ;)

Where can I talk to users about challenges?
Use the forum or PM system. We also have an IRC channel. Server - irc.quakenet.org channel - #lost-chall Also sabretooth's MSN is the same as his email address above, if you want to add him.
