• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Random thought for the day

This one is really fun if you create an HTML page using it as the background image and set the attribute to tiled.

I do have plenty of much larger blue ball animations in my files. I posted the smaller chopped off one to keep the image size smaller. I could be wrong, but I don't believe that the layered GIF images can be tiled without layering them up as a tiled image and doing the animation on each individual tile of each layer, one at the time. It could be done by tiling video clips maybe, without so much time wasted. Either way, the final product would have to use up a ridiculous amount of cyberspace. It would not be allowed by most forums and is likely to get bumped by the ISP if it is in an email. The video version would no longer be an image that can be easily posted anywhere that images are acceptable. It gets technical around the time you start trying to put more than one GIF animation in one image. Two or three is doable, but a tiled background is a major headache. The way to do a screen background would be to start with a static image of the correct size and add a lot of small GIF animations to it. That would work, but it would be distracting to have moving images on the work screen. If it ain't fun I don't want to play.

The only reason it works here is because they are not pasted, they are inserted into Hypertext Markup - (HTML). Can you run HTML on your home computer? Sure, but why would you, for anything other than testing website components.
