Welcome to the New Oddworld Forums! -

It's a little programme, called "RainbowText" (an Online friend of mine made it, and I pointed it out to Alector). You enter the text you want, and the colours you want it, and it gives you the HTML code for the colours. I can send it to you, if you like - which email address do you use? (It's quite small - 240kb, I think)

Great, the Oddworld ranks and the stars are working! WOW, Mudokon Big Kahonee!

Green is my favourite colour!

And check out my great custom personal picture!

These new forums are great!!!!

Anyway, where can I get Rainbow Text?

EDIT: Hey, my avatar changed to a toxic mudokon! *goes changing it back.*

EDIT NR. 2: IT STIL DOESN'T WORK!

EDIT 3: Now it does work.

Danny · #63 02-11-2002, 08:49 PM

Don't worry, the novelty of the colours will wear off after a while... Although I'm still going to use it for things like editing...

MudokonOddball · #64 02-11-2002, 10:10 PM

These forums are pretty awesome, but you might want to check this out (seeing as nobody has)

Any proof? I feel kinda bad for him-erm-her...whoever it may be.

ODDBODD · #65 02-12-2002, 08:04 AM

TheBlueScrab · #66 02-12-2002, 12:08 PM

A nice design.

Another thing I like about the forums is that you can see who's Lurking! *stares at Melvin*

Oh.. It isn't at all what I thought..

Yeah.. like Teal said, it's cool to see who's on line when you are..

Then there are many other cool new things I like. But I don't really like the colours either... I mean if some one uses them all the time and changes them all the time.. But hey.. what the heck.. use them as much as you like. Don't mind me complaining..

That's just me.. It's just annoying if you're reading the posts late in the evening and you're tired and the text is like yellow or pink or something..

Whistling kettle · #69 02-12-2002, 03:50 PM

Yes!!!!!! I have a new avatar!!!!

It is an infected mask, something from Bionicle...

Look around if you want too...

Melvin:squeeking paramite · #70 02-12-2002, 08:53 PM

I don't like the lurking thing... if you click on someone you can read all their posts, and that means it is easy for people to read my very old posts when I had no forum skills and posted annoying, jackass-ey things... oop, please forget what I just said... don't want any one getting ideas... hmm...

Now, let's see how the censors are working: ****.

*wonders when the novelty of coloured text will wear off*

No offense, but is that kinda biased and unfair for rettick to change ? And another reason is that I don;t have pink hair anymore.

I changed because most people knew me as Danny anyway. Everyone here knows you as Pinky. What do you want to change it to, anyway?

PinkHaired Mudokon CWR · #73 02-12-2002, 09:45 PM

oops my bad I knew why you changed never mind

MojoMan220 · #74 02-12-2002, 10:07 PM

The new forums are great, keep up the good work you guys!

ODDBODD · #75 02-13-2002, 07:51 AM

another big booboo...when it says date joined you got it all wrong. A minority of us joined with the ezboard, why dont you put those dates instead.

Sl'askia · #76 02-13-2002, 09:42 AM

Those dates are from...
*alarm clock goes off* grrrrr *smashes it*
*ahem* Those dates we have are from when we joined UBB. Remember we 'joined' the UBB forum...not transfer the whole forum like we just did. So those dates on EZB can't be 'transfered' here unless Syd and AB manually typed them in our profiles, and before that they would have to hunt those dates down...which I think would be an annoying proccess IMO. Besides...the date thing isn't really an issue for me...(even though I have been with the forums for a year now....oy has it been that long already?)

ODDBODD · #77 02-13-2002, 10:05 AM

we could do it ourselves (hunting) and abe babe and sydney can type.... im bitching aren't i? ill stop....nuff said

paramiteabe · #78 02-13-2002, 04:02 PM

Well I am finnally back from almost certain doom. For the last couple days my code wasant working and now I understand it now. I love the new site. It's pretty neat.

Oh and thankyou again Sydney for helping me out.

Sydney · #79 02-13-2002, 05:11 PM

Pleasure, paramiteabe.

I'd be happy to change the date for people who joined while at the eZboard, on the following conditions:

You find the date you joined yourself
Post a link to proof of the date you joined

angry slig · #80 02-13-2002, 08:17 PM

When i go to the questions page i go to the page that shows the avatars but when i click them notin happens. How do i get an avatar?!?!

ODDBODD · #81 02-14-2002, 07:09 AM

we need more info

* did you put in url?
* did you upload?
* did you check size?
* is it still selected "no"

angry slig · #82 02-14-2002, 05:46 PM

I didnt do any of that but how do i and where would i put the info?

One, Two, Middlesboogie · #83 02-14-2002, 05:57 PM

Ok...

If you want an avatar from the list, click the radio button that says 'no' (it's near the top of the page), then just click the radio button of the picture you want and then click 'change avatar'.

If you want to use a pic elsewhere on the web, click the radio button that says 'yes' (it's under the list of avatars), then type or paste its url in the box that has 'http://www.' written in it, then click 'change avatar'.

If you want to use a pic on your hard drive, click 'browse' and find where it is located on your computer. Once you've found it and clicked OK, it'll start uploading. When it's finished, THEN click the 'yes' radio button (you can do it before, but it'll just jump back to 'no' after uploading), then click 'change avatar'.

Hope it works out for you... and angry slig is bad enough, we don't want a furious slig.

Surfacing · #84 02-15-2002, 10:27 AM

Why is this topic still stuck right on the top of the topic list? I think everybody is aware of the new forums.???

Teal · #85 02-15-2002, 10:30 AM

I think it's because it's a sticky topic - one people will use a lot. That saves it getting shunted off the bottom of the forum and getting lost, and people starting hundred of new topics about things that have already been answered (as we know how bad they are at looking to see if someone else has asked the exact same question three times already...

).

Edit: as a complete aside, I can't find anything resembling any of the radio buttons you mentioned, Anna. Am I broken? Nnnngngng!

One, Two, Middlesboogie · #86 02-15-2002, 02:56 PM

I went and checked to see if I was mistaken, but I don't think I was.

Go to User CP.
Go to Edit Options.
Click the 'Change Avatar' button (near the bottom).
All the next steps are the same as what I said in my last post.

If you can't see the radio buttons there, something must be wrong.

Teal · #87 02-15-2002, 03:07 PM

That would be where the dopey computer is going wrong. I click "Change avatar" and I get "Thank you for updating your profile, Teal" and taken back to the "User CP" page, instead of any options to change/get a picture... Maybe the net is being buggy at my end again (what a surprise, usually does it when I'm on Dept. computers) I'll try it again tomorrow.

Edit: Disregard that - after much arguing with and resetting of network settings I finally got to the "pick avatar" page, rather than the "Edit options" page, so fingers crossed that it works properly this time.

Edit 2: Yay! (It's a cockatiel, BTW - note the "teal" sound at the end. Bad joke, sorry)

One, Two, Middlesboogie · #88 02-15-2002, 06:06 PM

Hate to nitpick (lie

), but isn't that a cockatoo? I thought cockatiels were the little grey and yellow ones.

DarkHoodness · #89 02-15-2002, 08:35 PM

Hey! I know what it is! It's that bird from that Bilbana online Shockwave scaletrics game!

ODDBODD · #90 02-18-2002, 09:39 AM
