So what does week 42 have in store for us all? :hyper:

Once again I have very little news to report. It feels nice that everything is running nicely. So the main news is Xmas and Sinterclaus.

Board News week 42, December 11th to the 19th

Banners:

Banners please, send us your banners today
We really would like your banners before mayday
So use your art programs and make them quick
But please nothing gross or really sick
Then before it turns into a little kids paddy
Send them all to our lovely MADDY

900 pixels wide and 350 pixels high!!!!!!! If you make them smaller/bigger I will try and put them up but the further they are out of the size listed above the less good they will look. Most art programs give you a choice of sizing in pixels, if you really can’t get it to work then ask Maddy and she will hook you up with someone who can help you resize. :dkiss:

Thanks to everyone else who has submitted them if you want to know who’s is whos just wave your mouse over them and your get a little box with the designers name.

:)

Board Data

Up in a while.


Lost Season 2

So far we have had 9 episodes and both have been discussed in the new area, so that’s great news, keep it up and share the love of Lost. *more funky dancing*

We have several weeks wait until the next episode so feel free to discuss any theories you have.


Sinterk Claus is on in December STILL

So if you want to take part get into the theme area and read up on the finer details in the theme area, that’s THEME AREA *poke poke*. You don’t have long until the deadline passes, so have a gander, it does sounds kinda complex, but you don’t do all that much organising or anything, so it might be worth reconsidering if you brushes past it before now.


Skins part one

A few problems might happen when you try and chose another skin...

The Charlie one is hosted from the board, but all the others are hosting by an external site, either 1) the site is down or 2) the bandwidth is too high and it needs to reset itself.

Either way the skins will return in a few hours so bare with it... sorry about any problems it might cause, I'm working on it. :)

Skins Part Two

Xmas skin anyone? The poll is there and waiting so cast your votes away mateys


If you have any suggestions do please post them up or PM myself or a moderator. :Wink1: :wave:

Xmas skin deffo! I liked the dark-themed Halloween skin, so maybe we could do something like that for Xmas too. Perhaps with a nice accompanying banner? *pokes anyone who wants to be poked*

On SinterClaus: Yes, please participate! The more, the merrier. And there's really not much to it, just being creative for a randomly picked fellowmember. If you absolutely don't get the concept but are interested nonetheless, just ask what you want to know. I am here to answer them.

x-mas skin would rock.
And as Jo said, with some banners it'd rock even more!
I almost finished two banners, but ya know.... I'm not that good with PS....
But I'll get it done!!
GO ME! :rolleyes:

Christmasskin is AWESOME! I'm a big fan of it. Well done, Oh Great Designer of the Boardskin. :Wink1:

:lol: I can take no credit for it.

Just finished the final touches. The biggest problem I can see is the buttons... Normally they go bright red! When there is a new post or something, but now they just go "Darker" black. Its harder to see. I could change them but they wont go all that well with the skin...


As per normal, the choice of other skins has been disabled for the time being, Sorry about that, but it just keeps things simple. :)

WOW.... the Winter Skin is so great!!!
Thank you!

That's a fantastic idea with the New Year's skin!!!

Definite yes for Xmas skins although I have to say the current one isn't all that festive really - it just looks kinda blue-y grey. :unsure:

the new skin is really big. and monotone. and it's big.

Seen it from a few computers now, and I think it works nicely. Its a change and its not our 'fixed' one. me likes. :YES:

Woo its snowing! (Or at least it ought to be :lol: ) comments about the code? Post them here. :wave:

w00t...
The snowing is such a cute idea!
Love it!!

*waits for enough snow here to build a snowman*

Uhu, snoooow is cooool! *catches snow on hand and blows it around*

YAY!!!! it's snowing. WOOOOOOOO

*runs around trying to catch some snowflakes with her mouth*

AAAAAAAA. heehee, this is fun.

it's making things quite slow. or maybe the code is for IE users. anyway, its a nice touch.

I LOVE this snow falling thing. Wish we could have it up all year long!! hah

<3

Uhu, I can imagine that. On my own computer I wouldn't like the snow, but on my parents pc it is more than ok. :clap:

It will just be temp I'm afraid to say :hee: :) Coming off when I get home from work moro, unless I get any objections either going back to the normal skins or getting something for new years...
