That was always my interpretation of it. I also figured it was a..uh...Force mind-clouding sort of hiding. At least, I used that to explain why she and Di had fought side by side before she 'reveals' herself to him in that cutscene.

Didn't want to clutter up the Bugz thread. If you have time to waste, you can make all kinds of smilies in the Invision "style," from simple to silly, using this generator. They're not perfectly blended, but work ok with dark backgrounds. I know it's not vital or anything, lol, but if we want some possible future replacements for the ones that have the white-edges, it's an option to keep in mind. Easier than photoshopping the originals...and kinda fun. I tried making a few. Heheh.

I don't know if I'm industrious, but I tried fixing one of them to see how it went. The best you can get is "mostly better." If that looks good enough to people I can work on some of the others over the week. I'll also search for pre-generated ones; so far haven't found an invision type set for dark backgrounds.

I'd still like to build a more next-generation pc soon, since I'm still on an older one, but I'm kind of deciding that since I haven't been using the pc quite as much lately, it may wait until I do need Vista for something, which probably won't be too soon. I've been resistant to changing the MS O/S every single time...but I always do it eventually, thus I never say never. I know I don't want to go through it and never did and I'd agree that the general public is probably pretty tired of it.

The last option. Since Windows is still the biggie OS, I assume I'll have to get it "someday..."

Ok...that seems to be it then. Just the old uploads don't work quite right with the new scripting, I guess. And I'll confirm I see the green highlight on minimized forum sections as well. Doesn't bother me, except it's kind of an ugly green. :D

Since I don't use tabs, that FF mod did nothing for me. I noticed a pic in the pictures of your games thread opened up fullsize for me, so I tried uploading my own picture. It opened in a window sized to the actual size of the picture. Perhaps it's only the pictures uploaded before the forum upgrade that have the "problem?" Newer ones seem to have the 'reduced by x%" title - those open just fine for me. *scratch head*

Yes, I could, and most likely will end up doing so, since so far I see no default config setting that handles the issue. I'm just curious about the mechanics and why's at this point. :D

Doesn't work in IE6 for me, either. Don't have 7 or FF2. I don't use tabs. I guess it's because it's not opening an offical whole new browser (ie, none of the browser buttons/menus are on the top...), like it does when I r-click the link and specify "new window." I don't know if there's a solution via the FF config options or not, I'll research that.

Yes. When one clicks on the attachment thumbnail in the post, the new window ideally would open full-sized.

It's like this, Fio.

Deciding on a profile picture is worse than deciding on an avatar picture. I shall stick with my cat watching TV for a while I think. Fio's graphic of entwined dragons is interesting. They should be green, tho.

I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.1, works both w/profile buttons and in the userpanel options area. Using any possible add-ons that could be blocking something?

Assuming it's similar to vbforums, the colors are often connected. ie, background for one table 'block' element' will also change other table block elements, and sometimes it's hard to find a color that works for all of them - you might make something else unreadable/ugly as a result. But the white is a bit bright.

The Add Friends seems to be working fine for me. It only adds a name to your profile list - it doesn't auto-add your name to their list.

I'm w/the joke but at the same time....

Bathtub accidents give you nightmares? I agree. I like those poker tournaments, but imo that doesn't make it a sport.

The avatar thing doesn't bother me...tho a little more space to the left of them might be a little more eye-pleasing, I guess. I feel "pressure" to have a personal photo now. :D

It's all black. I like it.

I like the graphic button on the front page by the who's online list.

I'm intrigued. Someone here told me I should get some of these games once...I haven't yet. As soon as I'm up for longer periods of pc use, I'm gettin' em. Sounds like I could have a lot of fun goofing off, with all those elements available...even if it meant not winning a mission. heheh

Weather affects the battle? As in, it rains, the game accounts for muddy ground for movement or something like that? That sounds pretty cool...

I think many of us share that sentiment...unfortunately there's still no official word that one will even be made. There was an article interview bit someone posted a bit back, about how "they" aren't planning to ignore the franchise, but that doesn't neccesarily translate into "we're making a game any time soon."

Thanks, that's nice to hear. I know such games will always be largely about numbers in general, I just like to know there's other options...or that tactics on the battlefield really matter, vs. just unit vs unit, and "charrrrrge." Alexander the Great type tactics, for example...which it sounds like it's possible to emulate a bit. Good nuff. Yeah, the sneaky part I didn't expect too much from TW...I just love it when you can take a quirk in the game and use it to eventually beat the enemy without even raising a fist, so to speak - just wish it wasn't always because of a 'quirk.'

Because of Win-Dixie. I must have been in a mushy mood because I actually sort of liked it. :"> Although, whenever they give animals CGI smiling capabilities, it's always a bit creepy. At least the film kept it to a minimum.
