2 technical questions

[kacey1]

Hi - This might not be the place for this but the technical forum was closed for posts. I was trying to click on the link to get the Cheat Free blinkies, but I only ever get redirected to the main atkins bulletin board page. Even though the link has all the post number in it, etc. I've tried pressing control while pushing the link - but then I get a new page with the main page on it. ?????

Second, I'd LOVE to know how people are making the before/after image filmstrips. I've got a few photo programs but I'm a little hopeless in this area. What is the recommendation for the easiest?

Thanks.

Re: 2 technical questions

if you end up on the ftont page after following a link it means the link is broken. if you PM the poster of those blinkies they can give you the new link or you can try the new ones 1pound is making

Hi Kacey!

There are some cheat free buttons I made right here. Beccanae has made a few and put them on the last page as far as I know.

As for your other question; the way I did mine was to shrink my images down to 100 x 100 and place them about 5 pixels apart...I then just simply filled in the area around the pictures with black and cropped it to where I wanted it. Simple, but it'll get the job done. If you've got an animation program you can always make them move.

Hope that helps!

Re: 2 technical questions

kacey, i think the links that you are having a problem are the same ones that i have expressed a problem with to the admins. the problem of broken links to different sites is a common one with the technical stuff. the admins have been informed.

editing to add:
are you still not able to make a reply or post in the technical forum?

Re: 2 technical questions

Hi Christine - Thanks for the buttons! I am not sure if I can rightfully use them because in the last 35 days I have one time had 3 cups of coffee in a day (guests until o'stupid o'clock in the morning) and the second time I was travelling and had no food so I ate a half an Atkins bar. I don't feel like I've cheated but there you have it. Anyway - I'll wait some more time til I can use them! Thank you!

Also, when you say you shrink the pics down to 100 x 100 - what program are you opening them in? Notepad? Paint? Word? I tried opening a pic in Paint and shrinking it and I looked like something in a fun house mirror. Then when I tried to open pic number 2, it overlayed pic number 1.

Sorry for the dumb questions! Hopefully you can give me a tip or two.

Thank you!
