Here's how you get the old website back (at least for now).

You need the latest version of Ad Block Plus for either Google Chrome or Firefox.

For Google Chrome: Go to the Ad Block Icon in the upper right hand corner of the browser:

(It's the Red "Stop Sign" logo with "ABP" On it)

Click on that, then on the drop-down menu - go to "Options" at the bottom and click on that.

On the next page you'll see the following:

Click on the "Add your own filters" tab.


Then add "global_redirect.js" to the top line, then click on the "add filter" button.

When you see this:

Then simply close the tab, open up your old bookmark, VOILA!

Your old site is back and you can give the MIDDLE DIGIT OF DOOM to PWE (until they completely close down the old site at least).

This should at least help people in the transition until they get all that stuff set up PROPERLY on the arc website.

And yes - this works on ALL the sub-pages. Including the page to upload characters to the test server page.

    The Firefox version is slightly less intuitive. But once you're past the first part, it's as easy as the Chrome version.


    You want to click on "Tools", then go to "Add-ons"

    On the full tab that opens, look near the bottom-right. About in the middle there is a "Filter Preferences" button. Click on that.

    That will bring up the following sub-window - where you'll want to click on the "Custom Filters" tab at the top:

    And that brings up the following window. From here, the procedure is similar to that of the Chrome version above. Just click the "add filter" button at the top right and type in "global_redirect.js" and save that.

    And from there, just close out the tabs, bring up the old bookmark and it works just like the Chrome Version. No nasty Arc redirect!

    Might be worth it to give this thread a bump since I'm seeing people referencing it from other, newer threads. (Thanks Flying Finn and others for showing people where to go!)

    I doubt it needs to be a sticky, since the old site will go away permanently at some point in the not-too-distant future. But until they get the new site ready with all the features of the old one (or at least as much as they ever will) I hope this helps people.

    Anybody else still able to access the old site? Or did they remove it completely? All I'm getting now is that bloody Arc site now, even with the mods I made.

    Still working here. But it also could be that my ISP is slow at redirecting sites.

    Absolutely does not work for Firefox. Auto redirects to the Arc site, just as if I hadn't created a filter. Restarting FF, rebooting, makes no difference.

    Can someone please post a current link for the PTS info?

    They just fixed/forced the redirect for all of the old Cryptic pages. Took them long enough to be frank.

    There is no workaround anymore. It's completely gone.
