I've re-enabled our hiscores My link tools, with a few changes so bots can't just refresh the page over and over and annoy our server host, this does unfortunately mean that legitimate users will have to answer a very simple question (as simple as 2+2=?) to be able to retrieve any hiscores.

I'm sorry about this change, but its needed if we want to carry on using the hiscores tool.

Today I have updated the Signature Stat Editor so that if you have a RuneScapeTips Forum Account you now no longer need to request permission to edit your characters Signature Stats.

The new state Editor now looks as follows;



The tool is pretty straight forward to use, but here's a quick guide through.

Add RuneScape Account - Associate your Forum Account with a RuneScape Character (Max 1),
Remove RuneScape Account - Remove the Associated Account,
Change Saved Account - Change the account associated with your Forum Account,
Update User Stats - Change the stats shown on our signatures,
Report Abuse - If you think somebody is changing your stats click here and follow the instructions and we'll sort it out ASAP.

Before somebody asks why we didn't do this before, it was due to us worrying that this tool could be abused. I am no longer too worried about this and besides we can easily ban people from this tool. Hope this answers the question.

As always please report any bugs you find, no matter how small to us in the Bug Tracker.
Enjoy everyone!

An update to an updater!

The signature updater will now let you know when your signature stats have been correctly updated instead of just reloading the old page like before.

Also once you're updated your signatures once you will now be told the last time that they were last updated, so you can now easily tell when the last refresh was.

As such the signature updater will look as follows.

I've just finished working on the Signature Stat Editor script so it is now fully functional once again.

As before to avoid abuse of this system you need to have your username approved by a forum administrator. (Your best bet would be messaging me).

For more information on this system please work your way over to the FAQ's page.

Unfortunately those of you who had already been given permission to edit their stats no longer have this ability. This is due to the permissions now having to be stored in a different section of our database. Please message me on our forums and I'll re-add your username ASAP.
