Title: Welcome to ME!
Post by: Buster's Uncle on November 30, 2011, 06:21:55 PM

I notice a bunch of my avatars are installed, and I like the one I chose, but why can I not find an option to upload my own?

I see that though I gave Sisko permission to upload anything of mine a long time ago, nothing other than the avatars has been.  Shall I rectify that?  Any specific requests?

Any other requests?

Also, there's a LOT more SMAC(X) avatars where that came from, should I have access to upload them...

of course you can rectify that, as well as anything you deem necesary. ;)

Done on that last.  I'll be back in a few hours.

Okay, I assumed 20x20 was called for, and did these two drafts (they're a little squashed-looking, so I'll be back in a few minutes with versions in the same size cropped at the wrists):

Will these or those do?

EDIT: I probably ought to upload them...


I'll start looking into the avatars this evening, but don't expect too much immediately, as I'm still learning regular user functions here...

Should I be thinking about smilies?  I got a mighty fine set of AC leaderhead smilies, for instance...

I has a question, O' my leader; do I have an option somewhere to choose whether I get email notifications about various things?  I've gotten [counts]  25 emails flood the junk account I use to sign up at places in the last eight hours.  The conversation with Kilkakon I'm having in one GotM thread alone accounts for half of them.  Kinda renders the notifications about anything important pointless.

which are the important notifications for you?

Post by: Buster's Uncle on December 06, 2011, 02:51:18 PM

Beats me.  I'm getting notified everytime a bot signs up, judging by the serial nature of some of the hash-of-letters user handles.  Most threads I comment in, I wouldn't think it urgent enough to get an email notification that there's been a reply.

It was 11 notifications in the last 6 hours - I came here before I even checked.

thread notifications switch is in your profile: alphacentauri2.info » Forum » Profile of BUncle » Notifications
you can also manage your current notifications from there (Current Topic Notifications)

also, you will no longer receive notifications about new members (changed that setting).

Is there an option to just throw RL cash at store goodies?  There should be, just in case...

Ugh! Use the  :dunno: please!

Been looking in some of the really old archives for this sight, saw this. "Welcome to ME!" is an interesting title, so I checked it out.

Nah.  Consider the bracketed remarks I use from time to time like the stage directions in a script - it's a different flavor than using a smilie.

Fair enough. I made one (smilie) for my sig, it's good IMO. You have an opinion on it? Most frames I've done so far.

It's cute - took me a little while to decide what I was looking at.

I have the frames backwards and just left it that way.
He's supposed to be pulling down a sheet that says "Flux," but now it looks as if he's putting it back up. Still, it's more to just practice making smooth animation than to mean anything.

Huh.  I'd decided it was a tank and a kissy-fish.  The final version will need an arm.

Actually it might be fun to animate a fish tank.
Yeah, I could see a blue little fish swimming infinite circles in a tank next to a blinking smilie.
