I'm currently posting this with TornTools enabled.
Currently I'm being attacked by a certain person over and over again, attacks being hours apart each time (basically whenever he comes online). Whenever he attacks me, the rules button in the side menu starts flashing red, as if I need to accept the rules (which I already did in the past). It's also only when that person attacks me, other attacks don't trigger it.
As soon as I open another menu or even the rules page directly, the flashing stops and I also have no confirm option in the rules.
I thought it stopped after the recent TornTools update and that it maybe was an issue with TornTools but it came back now. So it doesn't seem to be connected to TornTools at all.
