Geography was fun depending on the teacher - one of my school teachers gave us tests on where places were (I'm talking every place - not just major capitals - god forsaken little places that nobody should ever need to know about. Anyhow, if you failed his tests you had to stay behind and learn them some more - I really hated that class...

considering his title is Deus Ex Machina, I'm betting on some weird relation to Ion Storm's latest game.

Actually you're off - but I'll tell you anyhow...

Firstly, Ashrak pointed me at various Photoshop tuts for practice and one of them (the one I posted) looked pretty damn cool (as you can see!).

Secondly, I was watching Donnie Darko earlier in the day and one of the lines Donnie says at one point is "Deus Ex Machina" which struck me as a nice little line.

A few modifications in Photoshop and there we are!

(Why Donnie says what he says, I still don't know - if anyone has theories on this I'd like to hear them).

/me is a bit dissapointed for not getting a 5kb custom avatar

[Fineus]

Dude you know that if one person has one - everyone wants them. It's not that I object personally to the size or anything like that - it's just a potential problem that's not worth it. We made that decision ages ago.

I, for one, don't care. I have this lame ass piece of nazi crap for my title, and I don't complain.

[Ashrak]

this forums sucks because:

No avatars (yeah ok project thingies)
no image signatures (.... wtf? .....)

Rules because: i like the game and this is the only "active" place i know of ..... and i like most people here

[Fineus]

*shrugs* the rule was made long ago - besides this place is already one of the "heaviest" content wise on the GS network...

what do image signatures have to do with GS?

[Fineus]

If you upload them to the site and don't remote link them - everything.

[Ashrak]

who saied anything about uploading to the site?!

[Fineus]

It's one of the options that comes with the avatar choices on the control panel - you can link from another site or upload it to this forum to load directly.

Anyhow, it's not changing anything - no avatars for the masses

[Ashrak]

oook how about image signatures then


EDIT: and you can always set the image size on avatar upload to 1 bit.......

[Fineus]

Not for me to decide - Sandwich? Shrike? Want to field this?

Oh God no. Do you have any idea what that would do to 56k loading times? HLP is one of the few forums I visit where I can reasonably expect the little IE flag to stop waving after 20 seconds or so, and can open a dozen threads without having to wait 5 minutes before I can read the first post in any of them.

I'd take the hint.

[Ashrak]

0.o.....image sigs load after posts.....aaaaaaand you can set IE to filter out images......

[Black Wolf]

Oh, great. Cover the page with little red xes, have to guess which button says PM, edit, quote, not be able to see who's online, or have to wait for 400 kb of image sigs to load before I can see John modelers latest screenies... How fun

0.o .... your really not that good with computers are you?

[Flipside]

Besides the fact that each thread would end up 3 posts to a page.....
