With Torhead and Ask Mr. Robot shut down, we made a replacement database so the community can still embed SWTOR tooltips on their personal websites, blogs, guild pages, etc.
Instructions to enable them on your site can be found here: http://torcommunity.com/tooltips
Currently we support all Items and Schematics, and will be adding support for Missions, NPCs, and Abilities in the near future.
You can even use a special config setting to automatically find replace old embedded Torhead links with new TORCommunity ones! Just add "override": true to the configuration.
Here's an example page that uses the new tooltips and here's a screenshot of them in use.
You can find the links to embed the tooltips by searching the TORCommunity Items Database (Alpha).
Enjoy!

We have a new Overall Achievements Leaderboard that you can submit your achievement scores to directly (no more waiting for weeks for someone to go through the forum posts and updating them by hand!)
Current Overall Achievement Leaderboards
To submit your scores, go HERE and fill out the form. Be sure to use Imgur to host your verification screenshot (and copy the direct link).
You can also use our more detailed Achievement Tracker to send your scores to the Leaderboards.
If you'd like to become an "achievement verifier" and help us confirm achievement scores are accurate then please send me a message.
Cheers!

Glad you're hosting this DBSmiley! Had a lot of fun on our first attempt with <Working as Intended> - it definitely made our regular OPs night go a lot faster than usual

One of my favorite in-game events, nice work on the guide

Some time ago (or perhaps a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away), fan sites received some great support from the SWTOR developers. We had constant contact with the community representative, usually via emails, and we also had a dedicated Twitter account which I believe was called SWTORFanSites. The latter has diminished completely, and so has contact with the SWTOR team.
There are two posts stickied in this sub-forum from Hillary Nicole, one of which calls out to fan sites. I have sent her a message, but to no avail. I've not had a reply, and I've been told that fan sites and guilds are no longer her portfolio. If that's the case, those stickied posts need to go.
I'd like to know where the support for fan sites has gone off to, and who the community contact is. If it's Eric, he needs to start responding to emails.
If any other fan site owners are having the same issue, please let me know. I'm intrigued as to whether it's just us, or if others have been left out in the cold as well.
Hillary no longer works for Bioware. I would recommend emailing Tait Watson or Eric Musco instead.

We've fixed a few bugs and all the shorthand links should now be working properly!

We've made a Combat Proficiency Builder / Discipline Calculator that lets you share your builds and embed them on your own websites/forums/blogs!
Feedback is appreciated - please let us know if you find any bugs!
The builder was created by Yusi and Hayward for TORCommunity, with help from swtor_potato and swtor_miner in obtaining the skill icons. Graphics were based off of in-game screenshots (we tried to make it look very similar to how it does in-game).
Cheers!

Hey guys, Hayward here - I haven't posted yet in this thread yet but wanted to make a few comments about things people have been posting and have brought to my attention.
First off, the current system is hardcoded with HTML, and requires manual updates. We're developing a database-based replacement system that will allow guild/raid team leaders to create and manage their own rosters, including alts of main roster toons. These mains and alts would ONLY be able to be registered to one raid team, thus this would allow us to use alts on progression runs, without having to worry that they were also running with other progression teams.
Screenshots would then be able to be submitted via form and the boss clear would be added to a submission queue, where a whole team of reviewers (including many GMs from the server) would be capable of approving it or denying it. Once approved, it would automatically be added to the database listing.
We've got a lot of other features we're working on with TORCommunity so this will take a few weeks. In the meantime, please give feedback but understand this is a trial concept and we may still need to work out the kinks as we go. We're trying to do what makes the most sense but is also the easiest to maintain, so finding that balance may not happen immediately.
Hope that clears things up!

Another great gallery

Thanks for posting this, very useful information.
As a returning player I wasn't aware of or had forgotten the site you linked so will take a look around for other
useful information.
Cheers
Thanks and welcome back to the game
Lot's changed over the past few months. -
Nice job. One thing to note is that crafted (186 from vendor schematics), Comm, and Token gear don't always have the same stat combinations (as I found out last night when I got my first 192 token, an earpiece, and went to replace my crafted 186 one). I made a pretty exhaustive list of earpieces and implants, since they are harder to "reposition" if you are trying to keep a fairly consistent stat allocation, but I don't have any convenient way showing it. But there are combinations of crafted/comm gear that doesn't exist in token pieces.
A very good point to note. The guide only focuses on the operations and PvP gear vendors, but there are definitely other crafted/dropped options and combos available.

http://torcommunity.com has nearly everything Dulfy has and a lot of other features Dulfy doesn't have as well
-
Other games use this system successfully. One that comes to mind is the "Player Moderator" system employed by Jagex for RS. They hand-pick certain people, give them a shiny silver crown next to their character names, and allow them to temporarily mute players for a period of time.

Here's two screenshots of the same cross from two different player perspectives, the moment before it turns red.
Hayward (right arm part of the cross): http://i.imgur.com/vmcS3JM.jpg
Lock (left arm part of the cross): http://i.imgur.com/7cJIqxE.jpg
If you look at Hayward and his cross group, all three of them appear to be in the exact dead center of the right arm of their cross, however if you look at them from Lock's perspective, they all look shifted far to the side, on the edge or out of the cross.
Now if we look at Lock's group, Lock is in the cross from his perspective, but Oblivion is outside to the left. However from Hayward's perspective, Oblivion is barely in the cross and Lock and Xyzan are outside of it.
The three people who took damage were Lock (full death), Xyzan (50%), and Oblivion (50%).

Here is a handy quick reference table of all the enhancements/mod stats that come with PvP and PvE (Operations) gear in 3.0 for each class.

We're almost done integrating TORParse into TORCommunity. When that's done we'll add automatic Advanced Class/Discipline detection and Log View for parses.
We'd get it done faster but everyone on the team has full time jobs outside of SWTOR so it's tough to get things done quickly
-
TORParse/TORCommunity will be incorporating the AMR source into their network, however there are several other higher site priorities that will be released before that.
