In my knowledge you can't check if he has or not any item. You can only check if he has a specific item or item of type/class/level...
As for particular slots, that is easy... there is the trigger that checks if a hero has ITEM (specific, of type, of class, of level) in slot 1/2/3/4/5/6/ANY INTEGER.
You could try, tough:
Check if number of charges remaining in item hold by hero in slot X is equal with 0.
Yet i think that items like, with no charges (example some blades of attack) because they don't have any charges may have the charges remaining number = 0... and would mess up the trigger.
I think we need to add something to the bottom of the front page that shows the Headline News forum that has a link to go to the News Forum Index so people can see there is more news. Do you guys see what I am saying, lets say you read all the articles on the front page and you get to the end and it just ends, no kind of link for MOAR!
Finally finding about some of the bots that are flooding the users online - bytespider apparently is a huge offender here - ignores robots.txt and comes in from a ton of different IPs
Ghan has said he has fixed this. Monovertex please confirm this fix. This was only a problem with people that had signatures in the upper levels like not the special members but the respected members.
