Grrr argh! Why won't my save picture as option let me save pics/gifs etc as anything other than bmps any more?! It doesn't matter with ordinary pics, but I can't save a gif as a gif now. I managed to fool it a while ago by some round about route but now can't remember, of course Urgent help required!

Hmm... I've had that problem occasionally, but then it starts behaving itself... is it one site in particular, or anywhere you go online?

Everywhere, every pic and it's been doing it for a little while now. Like I say, usually doesn't matter, but a gif is a gif!! Remember I had all that trouble with witchy... well, it must have been down to that. Oooh, Nos says it might be to do with temp files and cookies... but it will take a while to delete my messy files! Don't do it near often enough. So I'll report back tomorrow!

*hides* I'm really not quite sure what to do about that... try looking at the "save as type" box, which is right under where you put the file name in there when you save the picture. There's a drop-down box. See if there's any other format available other than bitmap (*.bmp). You edited while I was posting... try my suggestion first... Look at this screenshot: www.angelfire.com/vamp/cyrus/ss.jpg

Come on now, I'm not one of your other students you know!! The problem I had was that nothing else was offered in the drop down box Just stuck with BMP. But Nos was right, the dark angel! So all is well now. ETA - Ugh, you have a folder ful of DB pics *gag*

When you've hit the reply button and are typing your post... the formatting buttons above where you are typing your post... it looks like an earth with a little white sqare thingy on it... right below the Italic button... click it and it will insert the tags.
duh silly me, I can just post a pic of the button!

Nice Spike... I am obligated to say that it is 23 pixels too tall, but I'll turn it over to PK, who will probably okay it...

Cy hun could you please shrink my banner down a bit? If it ends up looking too squashed up then just leave it and I'll either find another smaller one or not bother. Thanks

In order to keep it in proportion, it is shorter in length that it was... dimensions are now 285 x 100... I'm going to email it to you...

Do you know how to add documents in the msn groups thing? Read the directions, but that upload thingie doesn't seem to do anything and I don't know where it's supposed to upload from. Have some stuff in MS Word that I wanted to store there.
Been having fun stealing pics and making albums tho. Who knows, maybe one day I'll even have an avi.

First... is this your own MSN group of which you are the manager and therefore have full power? If so... you click "add file" and it goes to the upload tool. And then it goes to the upload tool. I repeat, AND THEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO GO TO THE FREAKIN' UPLOAD TOOL... NOOOOOO DAMN MSN! MESSING WITH STUFF AGAIN! Ok, um I2, it seems to be not working at the moment. It's got some Javascript errors in it. Crap! I wish MSN would quit fucking around with stuff! Here endeth the lesson lol...

I was messing with my own group while doing that, so I was The One. Like I said, it's got Javascript errors in it, so it's not just you. <mumbles>stupid MSN and their redesigned shit</mumbles>

I taught myself to make screencaps (captures) today, and a couple of people have asked how... I was watching the latest Angel promo that I had downloaded, in QuickTime. So with that you pause at the shot you want, go to edit and save or just ctrl C and hey presto, just the actual frame is saved. I then copied each one to Paint, did a wee bit of cropping of the borders and saved. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Don't know why I hadn't tried before
