I tell you what just for you i will hang around for a bit longer, maybe you will be able to learn something from me afterall. Even if its only getting your pictures to fit the screen ;) :lol: I can do a 'How-To' guide if you like, after all we are all friends here ;) :)9

Hi Tim_w,

The how-to sounds great.

On the serious side, none of us are enemies here!   :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm seriously not an anti-Christ lacing all my posts with malicious innuendoes!   :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ras is the anti-Christ.  He killed a man with his bare hands once.  Honest!

640x480, standard text underneath, works best for me.

Bold text doesn't improve readability, and more than putting it all in capitals would.

Speech bubbles can work nicely in some stories, but like others I feel thay can also detract from a nice picture, plus I lack the technical know how and the time and patience to do them.

I'd rather see the full picture rather than have to click on thumbnails, as I've said before now. i find the thumbnails take me out of a story and interrupt the flow.

You know? After this topic was mentioned, I think I remember seeing Rasputin's avatars picture on the Playmobil City's post office most wanted bulletin board  :toot:!

OMG!  OMG!   >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

This is clearly a personal attack against me.  Especially considering my text is always bold (never craven, timid, or ambiguous).

What's the frequency, Martin?  What's the frequency?

Fortunately, Rasputin, Anti-Christ, has promised me wealth, women, and an earthly kingdom in exchange for reciting devotional poetry dedicated to him every night before I go to sleep (it's a pretty sweet deal).

Ras, I want to be the "Earthly King" of England, so I can destroy Martin Milner, or at least have him lock himself out of the house on a rainy morning when he steps out to fetch the newspaper and his wife is on a business trip so she can't let him in.  And it has to happen two days consecutively because he probably keeps a spare key and needs to have left the spare key in the kitchen after having let himself in the day before.

 >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D

I never thought that Devil / Russian worship could be so satisfying!
