Tribble Character Copy broken for more than 6 toons, BUT I have a solution...

If you have more than 6-8 toons like I do, it's likely you've run into a situation where you can't copy your "last" few toons to Tribble because they do not show up in the drop-down list on the Character Copy Screen (http://www.arcgames.com/en/my/character/copy/sto#~).

The problem is with the web page code, specifically that the footer is loading "over" the drop-down menu.

Web-devs:
Seems like fixing the footer, or making the page longer would fix this. I'm no web-genius,but see the CSS pasted below.


A quick work-around for those you using Firefox browser... don't know about other browsers.

(NOTE: You may want to print this out, because changing tabs to come back and read this can mess up the process.)

Right-click the gray background area of the page (I had the best luck about halfway between the bullet-point circles and the left-side menu box) and hit "Inspect Element" to open up the Firefox Developer Console at bottom. If you have the right spot, you'll see a highlighted text at the bottom that says "<section class="module-body account-body"". If not, try again until you see it.

Got it?
Now, on the right side the CSS box should show:

.account-body {
padding: 17px 0px 50px;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
min-height: 500px;

Click on the "500" in the bottom line "min-height: 500px;". You'll see it's editable. Change it to "min-height: 800px;" or whatever number works for you, like so:

.account-body {
padding: 17px 0px 50px;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
min-height: 800px;


Now click the "X" at the top of the developer panel to close the bottom window, and voila!
Drop-down now workee for all toons.

At least it worked for me. YMMV. Good luck!

I'm sure other browsers have this ability too (?)

Enjoy. o7

Funny but I did search, both here and Google, trying to find a solution before figuring it out for myself. Nothing came up except a quick and unhelpful blurb from 2012 on another site. I was just trying to be helpful. :-\
