# Animated, but not quite what I intended...


It turns out he's a very nervous eater...


Quality savaged to keep size down. If it's still too big let me know and I'll linky.

Welcome to b3ta! Here are some things you ought to know before posting to the board.
1. Use these: LycosUK, MSNgroups, your own server, or paid image-hosting services all work as places to store your images, but most of the free services, ie Geocities, Tripod, etc. don't.
2. Limit these: Try to keep static pictures down under 40k, and animated gifs under 200. If its bigger, please post a link to it to save the dialup users.
3. Link these: Disturbing, disgusting, pornographic-looking pictures should be linked, because members are at work in all different time zones. Also, please link any pictures you have found instead of made, we like originality.
4. Remember these: Here are the html tags for posting to the board. you can only use them in your body, not the subject
<i>italic</i>
<b>bold</b>
<small>small</small>
<pre>
preformatted text
</pre>
<img src="http://www.website.com/yourpicture.jpg"> image
<a href="http://www.website.com/webpage.html" target="blank">text/picture</a>hyperlink
most & commands work, too, &lt; yields <, and so on
5. We have these: there is a preview button while editing your post, so you can see what your post will look like on the board, and Edit and Delete buttons once you post if you made a mistake.

For more information on these, and other important areas, take a look at the FAQ
Remember, common sense and courtesy go a long way. Thanks for joining, have fun posting!

but will rob etc etc

# i don't even want to think about that. but
he can't stop us from posting a link to it when a newbie needs it...
(I helped save b3ta! Or is it?, Wed 11 Jun 2003, 6:54, archived)
# true.
but use the full URLs to the sites you mentioned
(I helped save b3ta! 5olly, Wed 11 Jun 2003, 6:55, archived)
# even if he doesn't
it'll be a nice link for us to give to people :)
(I helped save b3ta! kitty meow meow, Wed 11 Jun 2003, 6:55, archived)
# ooh it's nice!
maybe make list format rather than sentences?

we learned that was a good thing in tech writing

i.e.
Hosts that WILL work:
LycosUK
MSN groups

Hosts that will NOT work:
tripod
geocities

and so on...

maybe it's just me, but I really think the real problem is that people don't want to read. They just want to have the information right there where they can see it :)
(I helped save b3ta! kitty meow meow, Wed 11 Jun 2003, 6:53, archived)
# true
very much so
(I helped save b3ta! 5olly, Wed 11 Jun 2003, 6:56, archived)
# That's a good quickstart.
To be honest, when I first came here I read just enough of the faq to figure out how to get my first picture online. I don't think I've ever been back to it.

# I read it
but didn't really understand it.

If it hadn't been for the fluffy board regulars who were around at that point, I probably would have left :)

Which is why people should be fluffy to newbies :)

WYH's

# I only have one
I should really make some more

but that would require opening photoshop....
(I helped save b3ta! kitty meow meow, Wed 11 Jun 2003, 6:44, archived)
# I have one that I hardly ever use
because it seems that at any one time on the board there are usually least 6 things that deserve it, and I don't want to post it everywhere.
(I helped save b3ta! mofaha ┐( ˘_˘)┌ ʅ(́◡◝)ʃ, Wed 11 Jun 2003, 6:47, archived)
# hmm
that is a tricky problem

which is why I usually only use mine when it's salient to something in the post.

# hes even more cute
this way, i like the way it looks, i dunno what exactly the effect is called tho
(goldkear, Wed 11 Jun 2003, 6:44, archived)
# That's the effect
of greatly reducing the colours in the palette and turning off dither. You can take it even further than this by reducing the colours even more. It creates some really interesting effects, similar to what the cutout plugin does, but with much more control over the palette.
