A light script that displays the remaining travel, hospital, raceway, and remaining chain time (on the Factions page) as part of the tab title while at their respective pages.
For those who would like to use the tab as a timer/pomodoro etc. while doing something else on their browsers. Can edit the script to modify the title to remove the additional text, or to add a quote/reminder etc.
The script uses the time displayed on the webpage, so their respective webpages need to be open for the time to show up. (Intended feature rofl, spend time on the other things you should be doing aside from Torn haha). Doesn't use extra API calls due to this.
Might update it in the future to allow for other types of remaining times.
Just in case you don't know, the newspaper does use generated ones, and the NPCs have chat bots if you open a DM with them x) may want to reconsider that last sentence
So this pops up whether I login on desktop (chrome/firefox) or on TornPDA. When I click it it gets removed. Sometimes it just blinks like that and goes away.
Upon checking everything inside my chats, I think I have clicked everything so things should be read.
So I'm not sure what this is that remains unread.
Thanks! It doesn't really bother me, but since it is indeed a persistent bug the past week thought to report it while I could remember about it.
Working on-site and long days represent :)) No time to cook, gotta feed the gonk this is what I'll give. He can come on over the seat in front of me is free ;)

I'm curious about this as well. I assume Torn would be under the category that would have to implement a system for it 2026 onwards?
Would be very interesting because as far as I understand, handling the info needed for the age verification the act requires is no small deal. I wonder if it would only be forced onto UK IP addresses, or all of Torn. In any case, could probably also help some cases of multi investigations.
Granted, I also wonder if there's any chance for the act to be revoked before then or sometime after.
Trying it out, would be great if there was an example from the start to test out. So far I kinda wish there was a way to include/exclude forums from the search. Instead of just "all" or "choose one "forum category".
But honestly what you're describing is just Torntools (2nd one from the far right in case you don't know). Like just have the extension show on your browser like below, and click. Then it'll show you the Travel Time left remaining. Along with other helpful details.Will even send you notifs too
Yes yes. My point with it is just simply, just because autistic, doesn't necessarily mean that someone has low intelligence and also to point of intellectual disability. That some geniuses exist disproves it is my point. Which was the point of your reply to me earlier as I understood i then, I was just explaining that I actually agreed with you lol. And yes people and people with disabilites are complex and have different needs.
Hello! Yes, I know IQ scores are not reliable. Just used the word IQ as a word as a measure for intelligence in general, and because no one really knows what their IQ is anyway :)))
Being disabled, doesn't necessarily mean intellectual disability. So I'm not sure what you're testing there for that disability testing and getting an IQ score.
ADHD which is a mental disorder/Autism which is a neurological/developmental disorder, does not equate to retardation which is an intellectual /learning disability.
I'm sure we all know popular autists who are considered geniuses in their field. A quick google would show it.
Personally, I feel that "idiot" is a harsher sounding word than "retard".
I see. Hmm, I understand this. For me really **** (fudge) isn't really that bad. But I guess a lot of people find it offensive, and it does depend on the delivery or usage too. Feels like people feel intent depending on context. So I can in a way relate. Still, got to adjust to people who do find it too crass or distasteful. I would argue the f word is too dependent on usage for "severity of offensiveness". Prob depending on the country too, and recent history of the place. But I suppose it's difficult to filter out hence just ban the word.
When I see someone calling someone else retarded I don't think they mean that the targeted person is behaving like someone with a disability.
This is where we differ at least, the people I see using it at times follow up or also say "you're slow"/something to that effect along with other expletives. Just inserting the below definition, so not necessarily someone "disabled" in general, but in particular someone with a "learning disability". Been leaving a bad taste in my mouth when I see people going on off with it. Just because someone didn't pick up something as fast as someone and calling them retarded etc. Just feels too egoistic and just being a right prick. At least that's some of the cases I've seen for example. (Edit: Just saw the below post as I posted this, well the dude's wikipedia link is better)
retard noun [ C ] offensive us /ˈriː.tɑːrd/ uk /ˈriː.tɑːd/ a word for a person with a learning disability (= a condition that can have an effect on someone's ability to learn easily), which was used by doctors in the past but is now extremely offensive
Was just checking what this thread is about and tried to see the ending. Obviously am not lolbits but thought to reply anyway.
Not sure with the circles you're in, but with most people I know or see in the internet, when people call someone "stupid" or "idiot", they usually mean that the person is showing a lack of common sense or a lack of intelligence for something they did or said, or something they do. Or at times not so good IQ, but not disabled (not anymore at least).
But if someone calls someone "retarded", they usually mean that the person seems like they have a mental/intellectual disability and is hence, well retarded. In a scale of severity of synonyms, retarded is used as one of the highest forms possible. Maybe just above "dumb" lol. Similar to why "frick off" is less offensive while "**** off" is considered more offensive.
That's why it's nowadays considered as a slur by many. Because people are intending to be insulting and intending to use the word to call someone mentally disabled or intellectually disabled. The intention or use case has changed as the times changed.
Hello, I know that recently there was a bug fix that also removed how misses count as hit body parts -- what some players usually joke as hitting the air the opponent breathed. Though it seems to be said not a directly counting misses but instead a related bug
But could something be done to maybe return misses counting if especially for the A Thor Loser hit 14 body parts mission? Or Idk don't require for all of them to be hit? Or increase the amount of mission credits reawarded? I seem to be getting the 14 body parts mission whenever I get it in recent memory. So I just got it again the past few days, for the first time since the update.
I don't mean to be a complainer, but the problem is how many hits would it actually take to get the whole 14 body parts, and the rate it takes to hit them all, with how much mission credits the mission could even provide. How much mission credits does this mission even provide? Honestly I have forgotten.
To me at least the hit rates for the throat and heart can be quite low for a mission where you need to hit all body parts just with Duke's Hammer. I feel like this mission would be an auto-skip one for a lot after the update.
I've already used an amount of e trying to make hits stalemating on NPCs wtih Duke's Hammer etc., and I don't know if it's even worth (I can't remember the amount of mission credits) as I'm still stuck at 13/14.
Having a "#yolo positive outlook/just have fun" take usually about duke missions, I do try to do them all as they're all usually feasible and I think well balanced. But I'm starting to think this is probably the mission that could be not worth with how too much RNG it can be to complete it. Hopefully at least, the related bug fix that just wasn't misses not being counted anymore isn't bugged.
Update: And so I just remembered there's this infographic at the wiki page, and yes 1.2% for Throat or Heart if at 12% CR. And the mission requires you to hit all of them. I would honestly guess that people used to be able to trigger either Throat or Heart, and then the "miss" being counted before helps to complete the 14 body parts hit.
Hello, the past few weeks for me and other people Torn has been lagging but not so bad (although hit or miss for wars). Although there were instances of Attack Loaders not loading as is mentioned in these two bug reports by two different people:
These past few days I've noticed whether I'm on mobile data or on my own wifi Torn pages can really take some time to load e.g. crimes, items, profiles, etc. Attack loaders are the worst though. It really would take more than a few seconds to load a loader. E.g. for NPC looting I loaded up Jimmy's page and the page just loaded when he died. Same for Leslie's. I was there in the Loot Rangers discord so I just open up an NPC's profile as soon as a NPC dies.
I'm not sure if it's related to the server load because of the higher amount of players or if it's my own ping to Torn that is the issue. Would there be a way to know my current ping to Torn? Currently, for example, a ping to google is at 10ms. Other websites load fast too. This would be a suggestion at this point, but maybe it would be good to have a stat somewhere of what a person's ping to Torn servers are?
There was also a time the other day which just so happened to be an hour before or so maybe? Before I posted the screenshots for the Chat 3.0 mixed msgs bug, where the Torn page just blacked out. However, Chat 3.0 is still available. At the time, accessing other torn links weren't loading as well when I tried opening them in new tabs. Chat 3.0 continued to live on like that til I just closed that one tab. Then after a few mins I just opened Torn again. After some loading at least, it loaded.
But anyway, I didn't bug report this out of maybe something is being changed with the site etc. But now I'm not sure if it's related to the general Torn lag I've been experiencing the past few days. This screenshot was from May 25 13:42 TCT.
Just thought to bug report the issue in case, because at the moment Torn is really quite unplayable for me for anything that would require me to have a semblance of speed, where as before things were pretty snappy. Advanced thanks for any replies.
Update Sat 13:10:46 - 31/05/25 : Torn suddenly went speedy on me right now? I'm not sure why. A friend with a similar problem noticed that it maybe related to the connected server? I'm totally not sure if I was on www8 when I made this post for example. Right now I'm in www9. But I will observe.
Hi CloudJumper, I got you the screenshots this time. I didn't manage to take a screenshot of the with timestamps though in time. Took me more than a few seconds and some scrolling to think I should screenshot this.
Again just blocked out a few msgs for a bit of privacy from other Torn peeps.
Context: I have the window just open and the tab just open while chatting. At first everything was normal. Then the messages suddenly were gone and all I see were older messages along with a latest msg. When I highlighted the chatboxes the "a few seconds" ago etc showed. This time the chat refreshed on its own after several seconds + some scrolling up, didn't need a manual refresh.
Mixed Msgs example: That last msg from Mdpvs98 is the most recent message at the time. The msgs above are older messages from minutes/hours ago.
After the chat refreshed on its own: The latest messages show again, with the last message still there.
Got it. I'll keep watch for a screenshot with that case happening then thanks.
I also have an issue earlier today related to chat, these msgs kept on popping up but faction mates are saying my msgs are sending. It needed a few refreshes or maybe just time passing by for them to stop happening. Refreshing the faction chat, my msgs seemed to be sent in the right order or right timeline.
Should I file a separate bug report for this one? But in any case, just sending it here in case it's a related issue. This was the first time I've been seeing these pop-outs.
