Thanks SLAYER69. I also wanted to thank Toodles and ladyinwaiting. ladyinwaiting thank you for sending me that U2U it helped tremendously. Image resizing has been conquered and I will be able to left and right justify, and center and resize. I am now currently stomping on image resizing's head and am enjoying it tremendously. Oh, the carnage.




Just checking something out.

Just a note...

I find for best results using larger images then shrinking them down to size as apposed to trying to increase smaller ones. They tend to get blurry...

I use photoshop.

Having trouble with my last paragraph I have the settings in place for the text to appear orange but it doesn't show up as orange. Can anyone inform me on the errors of my ways regarding this predicament? Thanks

Try this out. It may explain a few things we discussed earlier in this working thread. I hope this helps.

Any use of commas or apostrophe's will not work. Any punctuation marks should be excluded from your text. Except periods, question marks, or exclamation points.

Thanks for the help Slayer. I check for any odd punctuations marks but haven't found any and so I don't why it worked throughout, but at the end it is uncooperative? Take a look at the last paragraph and see if you can find anything of trouble. Thanks for you help.

Thanks for the help guys ,and I seemed to have remedied the nature of my folly. Hope everyone enjoys the post. This is truly getting interesting! I'm still unclear when your particular character meets another of say your's and how do we interact without stepping on the tows of the character's creator? For example, I didn't want to have any direct meeting with Magnus at the compound and I left the nature of the meeting open-ended and very vague to this point. Any suggestions would be appreciate. Keep up the good work.

Excellent post Jake51. Just keep posting like that and you will be fine. If someone says something or gives orders to your character, you can just quote that in your next post and follow it out. In terms of the hierarchy, that would probably be the best way to do it. When talking to NPC's, you can just order them around and show the text of what they are up to. But other writers, you are doing it just fine so far.

For that..

You could work those details out either here in the working thread or via U2U with the writer in question in private and agree on what needs to be done. I prefer doing that via U2U myself it adds a bit more of a surprise for everyone involved and the readers who also follow along with the working thread.

JAKE, awesome post my good friend Glad you are board. Now that I am home from school I can post..lol.. Give me a few minutes.

Thanks for the response and can't wait to see what you have up your sleeves. I'm really enjoying this keep up the good work.

Great posts folks, very great.

I'm looking forward to the interaction with our new writer, I should have something up in the next couple of hours to shed some light on our meeting.

I'm a little busy today opening a new Line Of Buisiness for my roadside centers so bear with me .

Stay Tuned...

Hey Jack

I'm not sure how this is going to sound. But it seems to me that you may be skirting it kind of close with ATSs T & C regarding drugs. You may want to look into it with a MOD. I see no issues with it but we even here on a fictional creative writing forums are bound by the T & C. I just don't want you to get dinged unnecessarily.

Just a thought.

I see, that image is no good? I can change that in the blink of an eye. It is fiction and the character is in no way promoting this stuff. I actually have a great idea that I don't want to elaborate on about this stuff. I will u2u someone right away because I do not want to leave it if it is not supposed to be there.

reply to post by jackflap


Check with a mod to make sure is all I'm saying. Better safe than sorry.


No harm, No foul

I was just thinking that Slayer lol.

My post is up now, a little short but I am assisting with our newest writter, I might post again later on, or wait until tomorrow.

I feel kinda trapped in that compound so I wanna see if I can get out and do some stuff lol.

I just u2u'd mrwupy who is online at the moment. Let's see what becomes of it. I believe the image, with the story line works. Believe me I don't want to get in trouble for that. It is an image I found while looking for "secret growing drugs" for the story.
