Hi guys,

I threw in a few new ones. And since those two (with and without tongue) were both "laugh", I reckoned this one looked far more joyful.

But if you cannot live without the tongueless one, I can put that back.

I've been using it for a couple of days now. I was wondering how long before anyone noticed the new icons.

Fred and I are discussing some further fun stuff for the Forum, so keep a sharp eye out for new competitions!

Why is there a "huge store" that sells yellow smiling faces? Do many people buy them?

No..They don't SELL the Walmart guy, That is their logo. He is on like the bags and stuff. In the commercials, they used to show and animated Walmart guy, wizzing around the store running into price signs, and making them lower.

So why does he lower the price signs? Is that for small people to see them more easily? Would I have to kneel to read them, then?

Does he use screwdrivers to lower the signs? Or when he runs into them, does that knock them over and make them lower in that way?
Title: Re: has any one noticed?(poll)
Post by: IRI5HJ4CK on February 14, 2009, 13:30:39
Yes, I'm confused as well Terry

I think he uses a cordless drill? does he?

No he makes the items cost less by lowering the price signs. Here is a transparent Walmart guy all ready to be added. lol.

Post by: TerryRussell on February 14, 2009, 19:27:27
But he's not transparent. I can't see through him at all.

I sent a PM to Fred today (as he's now and Admin) saying that because him and Terry are now in charge of the forum, things may start to look like this:

Yes he has. It' sblue.
Title: Re: has any one noticed?(poll)
Post by: firestar12 on February 14, 2009, 20:08:53
It means the only background he will have is the post color (White/Grayish-Tan)

Post by: TerryRussell on February 14, 2009, 20:11:07
Do you mean that when you save it as a .gif file, in 089a-interlaced format, you've set the tansparency color index to the same value as the background color?

Actually, I saved it as a PNG.

PNG is basically the same format with increased colour depth.

GIF's can have transparency?
Title: Re: has any one noticed?(poll)
Post by: TerryRussell on February 14, 2009, 20:28:05

Oh yes. But the colour depth is only 256 (8 bit colour). That's ideal for icons and avatars etc, as the filesize is smaller.
