Here it is: http://forum.gateworld.net/showthread.php?t=45976
I think Mods should sticky it or something. There are A LOT of people who just start new threads when they get an idea.

Hi Being dyslexic techno babble gives me problems. I have three queries
Worked out how to use quotes and spoilers in posts. But pictures you can post once then someone mentioned using URL aound the pictures so they don't get posted twicw but you can click on it to look. I'm hopeing I'm making sense here.
Also while I'm here like some help with personalising my public profile lots of option great, but to much for a computer novice who only recently got a new computer with Windows Vista- guess what? I don't know what Vista can do. (My fault asking for a laptop with the most up to date windows)
I'd like to start looking at making siggy ect not sure of a site ie. photoshop or maybe Vista I can start looking at to help. Not too technical please.

Then, if you quote a pic, take out the image tags and it'll automatically become a URL link that people can just click on. You can do this manually with [URL="url.com/pic"]Title of Link[/URL], if you'd like to title them specially. The button to insert these tags is a globe with a chain link, sixth from the right in the second row.
For pics, definitely no wider than 700px, and it's nice to make them smallish KB. Use 200x700, 50KB sig rules as a guide. If in doubt, link and say how many KBs it is. Thunk threads, for instance, tend to be picture "heavy" so large stuff is more expected. Other threads are lighter and slower broswer people (dial-up) won't be expecting huge stuff.

a desktop wallpaper then it depends on the size of your monitor
if your using it for a myspace background go for as big as you can get and try it

(1) You may have a faulty DVD.
(2) You are using Windows. Windows has so many security features to stop you playing out of zone DVDs or pirate copies that it often assumes a perfectly legal DVD is a copy or an import, and refuses to play it. I'm afraid that if you don't like banging your head against a wall in frustration, you shouldn't use a computer that runs Windows to watch a DVD.
