well, all i know is that in PSPro 9, i can screw up 300 times in a row and still be able to fix it. (The max level of undos in PSPro 9 is 1,000!)

Hey, Qasim, or someone good with image tech, how do I make one of those picture changing images like the one of John on the left in Naughtrish's siggy?

I use Animation Shop and Paint Shop Pro. If you want to send me the images along with an explanation of what you want, I can make it for you

A lot of people reported having problems accessing the forum (among other issues that also arose) after GateWorld did a forum upgrade a few weeks ago. Apparently Greg, the "the fix-it guy" is aware of the situation and
is working on getting it fixed.

Also note that sometimes the top ad banner will load first, then the rest of the page loads several seconds later. That's what happens to me. If the ad banner is on screen for more than say, 5 minutes, and the page still hasn't loaded, try hitting the "back" button on your browser, then returning again (hit the "forward" button to come back). Otherwise, the issue comes down to straight lag issues between your computer and GW's servers.

GIMP is free from what i've heard, and it seems to be a pretty decent program. Where to find it, i have no clue.

For windows users the best place to go IMHO is:

http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html

Someone (sorry I've forgotten who) posted a link to mark the Forum as Read, and for All New Posts or something similar.

Can anyone help me out here? I've tried searching but I can't find these links. I bookmarked them on my home PC but I'm at work.

First of all thanks for forgetting me

New Posts - http://forum.gateworld.net/search.php?do=getnew
Mark Forums Read - http://forum.gateworld.net/forumdisplay.php?do=markread

Right-click and select add to favourites/bookmarks

Left-clicking on them and bookmarking the resultant page will not work!!!

[GateGipsy]

Ah now how could I ever forget you Qasim

Thanks for the links. I know that there are the links at the top of the page, but I like having the bookmarks - just that little bit quicker than having to click on a menu and make a selection!
