So with MACH crawling into the 30s, I figure he's getting close to the point wherein his presence on higher level TFs will catapult him to 50. Ergo, I started work on what I expect he'll look like once he gets there.
If the big white and red paintjob didn't tell you, MACH is primarily a MedicBot. He heals stuff, he heals it fast, he heals it good, and whatever combat capability he has is jammed in after that. Hence his current build has some attack powers, but they're almost all set bonus mules and used for the secondary effects. In particular, abusing the Chance Of Hold Devastation proc.
Beyond that, he's intended as a support position, hence the full stealth and teleporter. I doubt he'll be as good of a Blastfender as Rhea, but I suspect he'll hold his own in the green numbers.

This is REALLY cool!
It's essentially a WIG (wing in ground effect) craft, but crossed with a classic hovercraft design. Sweet!

I've been having a strange issue lately (last week or two?), which only seems to manifest on these forums.

Every now and then, when a new page loads, part of the screen will continue to display whatever was present on that portion of the previously displayed page.

Also, every now and then, when a new page loads, the *entire* screen will continue to display the previous page, and clicking anywhere on the page does nothing. I can switch tabs, and other sites work fine; however, if I switch back to the tab with the problem, it will then display what had been showing on the other tab. Similarly, I can switch desktops and use other programs, and when I switch back, the page displays whatever was on the other desktop.

The only thing that seems to "clear" this is to use the browser Back button to return to the previous page, then click the link to go forward again. (This is something of an issue when attempting to make a new post; fortunately I'm already in the habit of copying unsubmitted post text before submitting it, because of other problems in the past.)

As I said, this doesn't seem to happen anywhere other than on these forums, or I'd suspect a software problem on my end before anything else. Has anyone else seen anything similar to this?

Because it isn't really a crossover:
