Mad Forums Logo Glittering

Rich · #1 07-04-2005, 11:56 AM

I've just noticed that the forum logo at the top of every page glitters ocassionally and randomnly with pixels changing colour. Am I the only person who can see this or have they always done this and I'm just stupid.
Or was the piece of paper that I was chewing out of my maths book printed with LSD?

EDIT: Wow, it only does it if I'm watching a video in another Internet explorer screen. Try it, it's groovy.

Dino · #2 07-04-2005, 12:33 PM

This is to just to get me to stare closely at the logo for ages isn't it? Are you trying to damage my eyes?

God you're a bastard, and your fiendish ploy is working too.

Rich · #3 07-04-2005, 12:41 PM

It won't work on my monitor unless I play a video.

I discovered it while playing this: http://www.thestoneroses.co.uk/video..._snubtv_bb.asp

EDIT: It did it again when I played the video.

Yo' so crazy, yo'... I forget.

You know it.

No, I'm being serious, on my monitor it works.

Oddish · #6 07-04-2005, 12:59 PM

Well I think it's just your monitor, Rich. It dosn't seem to work for me.

Rich · #7 07-04-2005, 01:13 PM

It's mad. I can't take a print screen of it as it doesn't seem to register. When I paste the pic into paint it just starts again randomnly, every time I take the pic it just stops and then does it again. It's probably just this mad monitor. It's like a crazy disco, the music seems to cause random pixels in the logo to change colour briefly. The logo looks the same but glitters and shimmers randomnly.

Godlesswanderer · #8 07-04-2005, 01:33 PM

Nope, it doesn't work for me. It might just be your computer... or something.

Rich · #9 07-04-2005, 02:05 PM

Lol, you're all missing out. Come over to my house or something.
It's not that exciting, but it looked cool.

Dino · #10 07-04-2005, 07:02 PM

You're sure you weren't smoking something beforehand? 0_ó

Leto · #11 07-04-2005, 07:54 PM

This topic is 'mad'. :/

Honestly, stop the chewing of maths paper. Only for class time, it'll make it interesting.

Munch's Master · #12 07-05-2005, 07:57 AM

Nope, doesn't work forv me either. I tihkn you must have just been high on something when looking at the logo, or your computer's weird.

Oh noez! Another OWF member's train has gone off its tracks!

Lol. I think I'm gonna be ok.

Rich · #15 07-10-2005, 12:16 PM

I think I've finally got it. These are print screens from when I was watching a DVD.

EDIT: No, it still only works when I watch it. Curses, I'm some some sort of lunatic.

Dino · #16 07-11-2005, 04:04 PM

Wait...

I think I know what it is!

When you watch a DVD or video or whatever... you use speakers to hear the sound, right? Speakers work by making electrified copper wires interact with a permanent magnet, oscillating at certain frequencies. This can cause static electricity in faulty or badly made speakers, and in larger systems, a small amount of em radiation. THIS is what will be causing your screen to go wierd. Just like how old scalextric slot cars cause your TV to go strange because the little cars don't have interferance suppressors in them.

Well, my brain has officially been frazzled. You enjoy your electric copper and flying windmills and whatnot, I'm going to bed.

Ofcourse, I knew that all the time -_-'

Munch's Master · #20 07-12-2005, 02:42 AM

Yeah, it's just sooo obvious. But seriously, how do you know that Dino? And you give that complex explanation then compare it to something simple, couldn't you have just done the simple one, as that'd be a lot easier on these poor members' brains.

Yay! Freedom!

Well done Dino, you've solved it! Thanks, I'm not insane anymore.

Wow, why didn't I think of that? My speakers are brand new so no point trying really. you lucky guy, you...

It's not my fault that you're technologically ignorant. But don't forget that I am a DJ and music producer, so I work a lot with speakers and computer screens.

Anyways, yeah, Rich - you can fix the static by moving the speakers further away from your screen. If that doesn't work, either bin the speakers or have interferance supressors fitted to them. It isn't really worth the cost to get them repaired, cause it would probably need a whole new voice coil and spider, which would require calling in replacement parts or having them fabricated in shop and blah blah blah pricey blah blah so you don't really wanna do that.

If they're cheapy speakers my suggestion to you is to just take it as a good excuse to buy yourself some nice new ones. Ask in a shop for magnetically shielded speakers, and that should fix your problems.
