I REALLY dislike the changes about the screenshots folder.

Is there a way to revert that manually?

Edit:
To clarify this..
I have a dedicated partition for my games and want my screenshots to stay there.
I don't use those "windows directories" like my games, my pictures and so on at all since I find that very tedious compared to just having my media in the directories of the programs it belongs to.

Indeed there is a way to manually do this.

Assuming you are using Windows Vista or later, open a command prompt and type the following:

=============================================================
cd c:\users\USERNAME\documents\my games\path of exile

mklink /j Screenshots "ABSOLUTE PATH TO DESIRED FOLDER"
=============================================================

Replace USERNAME with your windows username.
Inside the quotation marks, replace ABSOLUTE PATH TO DESIRED FOLDER with the full path, such as "F:\games\Path of Exile\Screenshots"

Thanks for trying to help me, but I'm using XP.
The problem for me is generally that devs seem to be switching to those retarded "windows directories" which have been just a hassle for everyone who had to deal with them in the first place.
I really don't get why they intentionally make it more difficult for people to organize their stuff without getting stupid microsoft forced "windows internal" things involved that shouldn't be there in the first place. It's this trend of taking freedom away from the general user that makes me want to throw up.
They could just add a .ini file with a "screenshotdirectory=g:\games\pathofexile\screenshots\" string or something that would be easy to manipulate.
Microsoft seems to always like to force people into things they don't actually want and I hate when devs act like this is the right way to do it.

BEST GAME EVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!! QQ BOOM!! DOWN GOES VAAL!!

Is there a page that will have a list with the actual names of the leagues used for the API?

I used to use the ladder page to parse for the names of ladders (Default, Hardcore, etc) which I would grab from the drop down menu that selected the ladder to view. The url of the csv was always http://www.pathofexile.com/ladder/index/LeagueName. LeagueName was the text for each item in the drop down menu, so it was very easy to get for newly created leagues.

I'm currently using the urls from the list items under Events (found on virtually every page on the website) but I fear this will not have special events when they occur.

Need timer for events!!!!!!!!

I really do not like the change to the website, as it relates to events... the change was described as giving each ladder it's own clear rules post or something?

however the only change I've noticed is that you can no longer select a ladder before it starts to see how many hours/days away it is!!!

I always get confused by timezones, other people probably do to! it used to be possible before this news item was posted: to click on events and select an upcoming event, and preview it's empty/blank ladder and get a countdown timer!


This timer seems totally gone from the website, and since the timer has been gone I haven't managed to attend a single event! Please restore this countdown timer ladder preview somewhere on the website.

so yeah, this news (about the events forum)? this is bullocks the forum ALWAYS had a thread for each event! all that's been done is the removal of the countdown timer! it's straight up a removal of a feature of the website? yet it's being written in the news as an additional feature? meh!

yes I get that each post now has rules in it, however they're just forum thread posts! in that anything anyone wanted posted could be in the thread... there's almost no point in some sort of live server editable rules? when the rules could just be written down? okay maybe this is easier for devs/mods? still... I don't see why the countdown timer for upcoming events had to be removed from the website entirely?

I'll probably never make it to another event again until the timer comes back :(

http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/59490

It says specifically how many hours until an event starts and when it ends at the top of the post. Is this what you are looking for?
