Reply to Weekly Poll: Wallpaper Moderation in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I'm with Fuzzy. :) If walls were held in the gallery awaiting so many ratings to decide whether it stays or goes, you risk being ganged up on by others: the old drive-by bad-rating thing that used to go on here. But with Fuzzy's idea, when a wallpaper reaches a given download number (Say 200?), then it could be considered "safe" or a permanent addition to the gallery and if it doesn't reach 200 within a week (2? Doesn't matter: whatever time period) then it goes to the artist's

So I suppose a chat about conceptual things might narrow the design field down some, hm? I mean, are we going all-out cheese? (Icing on the start menu) etc? Something that would appeal to even youth? (Not a comment of denigration, just needed direction) Or should it/will it be more along the lines of an older person's birthday: perhaps a little more refined, mature? :)

I wonder who here has read 'Tragedy and Hope' by Carroll Quigley and Edward Bernays' 'Propaganda' (1928)? Opening paragraphs of 'Propaganda': [I]The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, out minds are molded, our tastes f

[quote]Again, either collaborate or do your own thing.[/quote] Indeed. Although it'd be heaps easier to work from a WB or something; some kind of concept with which to draw from. :) (Just a preference for collaboration work like this) ... So if anyone (Po?) has even a screenshot of the proposed Start Panel - e-mail it to me. (info at nauticalinteractive dot com). Thanks.

Yea. Bit old, but enjoyable, minus the massive editing to ensure it's "safe for public consumption". (Original at Snopes.com) :)

And an example of why punctuation means everything.. Add punctuation where you deem fit: [I]A woman without her man is nothing[/I] The most common reaction is this: [I]A woman without her man, is nothing.[/I] .. Which wouldn't be incorrect, as far as punctuation goes. But the same sentence with two different ways of punctuating it can mean two wholly different things: [I]A woman; Without her, man is nothing.[/I] :)

Maybe neither will work: Maybe you can convince the Admins (Or whomever works on the core CSS) to add a specific one, just for those who wish to add an image link in the forums and so forth. Perhaps a custom class: [code="css"] .forumimage { border: 0; } .forumimage a:link, .forumimage a:hover { text-decoration: none; } [/code] ??

[quote]The downside to linking with images here, is that there is a weird jump that affects the post concerned when doing this.[/quote] Indeed. You may, if you're allowed to code in straight html, be able to not just use the title attribute, but also the target one, as you've used but also include border="0". If that doesn't work, perhaps overriding some CSS might work, too? That is, to specify: [code="html"] img style="border: 0;" [/code] .. and so forth ..

I wonder how many people actually like IE7 Me, certainly. Not because it's IE and I don't like Firefox because it's Firefox. I like them both (Heck, even Opera, now) because they make my work easier. Thank you oh simplified web!

Tried it and found FF to be better. Any specific reasons? I ask because so far I see the gap closing between FF and IE. In terms of how it renders pages (which is uppermost, since it's the developers that bring you all the web you have all come to adore), in terms of overall page loading speed[s] as well as comparable MEM usage, with IE7 actually

I'm insanely pleased with IE7 thus far. Finally I need not test, retest, add IE fixes, tweak said fixes and add a multitude of other browser incompatibility issue fixes when designing/testing web sites. Thus far, all sites I have made/are making render the same in IE7 *as well as* Firefox. Fin-freekin'-ally. With the newest Opera, Firefox *and* IE7 all supporting the CSS alpha effect alone, I'm pleased as punch. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/BigSmile.gif" align="absmiddle" borde
