Reply to What a weekend. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Sorry to hear, mate. It's certainly frustrating and frightening as panic rises and altho you can see people making an effort, it doesn't always 'help' when you're on the verge of a total break-down. I, too, am in and out of the ER for a major jaw infection, brought on by an absessed tooth. Although I tend to make things worse suffering from chronic panic attacks/anxiety episodes. Currently I still can't open my jaw more than enough to say fit even one finger in. hehe.. Currently on sedatives to

Change of e-mail. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Hi there. Just curious of something, here. I'm trying to update my old e-mail to my new one in my WC profile, but it says I'm not a subscriber and disallows me from doing so. Am I looking in the wrong location? If someone with power to do these things [anyone?] could do so for me?.. info at causticfx dot com Anywho, if I'm just looking in the wrong places, could someone direct me to the correct location?.. Thanks!

If you aren't doing anything devious online, what do you care? Eh, hate to be the voice of dissention, here, but this lacks an angle, IMO. If one were to accept these proposed laws with open arms: Then why not further protection?.. I'm *just as* against the abuse of a spouse, so why not video cams in apartments and condos to regulate these things

Reply to Constant rejections of my wallpapers does little for self confidence or my want to create anything in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

Well, My guess is if your worth and validity as an artist is dependent on other people liking it - then your art can't possibly be that important to you, is it? I'd say an artist can stand alone; even in a world where no one likes what he/she does. They're *still* expressing themselves and holding true to self. *shrugs* Besides, it's no one's duty here - or elsewhere - to ensure the backs of artists are constantly patted. An artist creates n

And, honestly, I was a little surprised how little attention this post received. Not a big deal, but I would have thought more would be interested. I'm positive a search for 'skype' in these forums will reveal I, too, once brought Skype 'up' as a topic. That got little feedback, too. Go figure. <img

Damn.. When I clicked 'Submit' it added about 4000 break tags..LOL.. Sorry, mate. You get the idea. Play with CSS, some. How do you start one? Easy! Open a fresh notepad document and paste the above text [minus the 15~ break tags] into it. Save-as 'style.css' or whathaveyou. Of course you'll want to speficy more, but there's millions of "howto"s online. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absm

Use a CSS style - Preferably an external stylesheet [style.css, for example] I used this on a site, once.. I'll copy and paste the CSS exactly here: #leftcontent { width: 50%; float: left; padding: 10px; background-color: #f4f7f9; border: 1px solid #98a5b1; } .. hope that paste worked.</fo

Ack! I do not presume to speak for anyone else on this site, but: 1. That title is TOO LONG! Eek! and 2. That title is not very descriptive, is it? Why not "DX help - Controlling a shortcut object" , instead? I can't answer your question anyhow, sorry mate! LOL.. Moderators/admins: This excessively long title is grossly breaking this site in Firefox - Can it be shortened by anyone? <img src

Not sure I fully agree with your stance on the whole BlueSecurity issue. I'm not convinced thorough research was done on how things work over there. (.. it just made the comments on it/about it seem a little bit like misinformation) From my experience with BlueSecurity - it works. Large companies are backing down and spammers *are* listening or are in the "process" of listening. Give it time. Give it members . Good episode, though.<im

Haven't really posted much here in.. ages, really. Figured since I've mostly completed my site I'd let others take a gander. [if anything to snag the free wallpapers? ] There's also some basic Photoshop Tutorials there for any Photoshop newcomers or enthusiasts. Still to come on the site is a web site template store [offering regular HTML as well as Joomla/Mambo CMS
