    Showcasing a friend's drawings - feedback appreciated

    Hello all, I told a friend of mine that I'd try and showcase some of his drawings and gather some feedback. Now, I've been mercilessly pushing him to start drawing more and more because I know his big dream is to make some kind of living out of his art. He's currently working construction to...

    Religion on ENWorld

    I have a couple of concerns about the, in my perception, double standards being enforced about talking about religion on the boards (well, mostly the off-topic boards). Now, it seems to me that talking about religion in any kind of negative or inquisitory way is a very strict no-no. But...

    Code showing

    When clicking on some threads I get a page with all the code (see attached file) while most other threads work fine. The attachment is from clicking on this thread: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=148536 And I just noticed that the "Apache 2 / PHP 5 bugs" thread here in Meta does the...

    Thread preview

    Don't know if it's because I'm on a new computer with a newer version of Firefox, but the thread previews when I hover the mouse over a thread is now only a single sentence, whereas before it used to be the whole first post or at least several sentences of the first post. Is it something done to...

    Pimping a friend's work

    One of my friends has finally been able to put some of his work online, so I thought I'd show everyone and ask for opinions, criticism etc.. He's also the guy who drew the picture I use as my avatar. Anyway, you can take a look at his work here: http://www.danny.frac.dk/ Unfortunately, some of...

    Forays into the world of wireless network connections

    Okay, so I posted this on a Danish wireless network newsgroup, but I actually think I'll be able to get a quicker (and perhaps even better) reply here (scary, isn't it ;)). I just bought a W-Lan card for my laptop and, of course, wanted to test it out (i.e. install it) when I got home. Now...

    Bong head... no, literally, I'm not kidding

    Well, it has been claimed that certain "tobacco" products stimulates the creative part of the brain... but I think this is taking it a bit too far: http://channels.netscape.com/ns/news/story.jsp?idq=/ff/story/0001%2F20050411%2F2249437163.htm

    Maybe I'm just paranoid...

    But from the wording and the fact that both people who have posted to this thread has just signed up and have 1 post each, I'm thinking that this might be some kind of blatant advertising, which, I might be wrong, isn't looked kindly on. Here's the thread in question...

    A good buy? Specs for PC inside...

    Okay, so I jumped on the offer that a supermarket chain (ALDI) has from time to time and came home with this little beast (the price was, with today's currency, $1,391.30 - £739.45 - €1,073.88): CPU Intel Pentium 4 Processor 640 with HT Technology 3.20GHz, 2MB L2 Cache and 800MHz Front Side...

    Width of columns in User Control Panel

    When I go to my User Control Panel, the "New Subscribed Threads:" area is slightly wonky. The thread title column is all scrunched up while the Thread Starter column is very wide. This change has happened over the last 3-4 days I think. The "Last Post" column also seems wider than usual. Here's...

    BIOS update and/or Fantasy Grounds/video card question

    I'm trying to help out a friend who has run into some problems. Sorry if the title doesn't make much sense :p After upgrading to Win XP Home, from Win98, he has been experiencing some problems (most performance wise problems are probably tied to the fact that he could use some more RAM)...

    Pull up your pants!

    I'm sure a lot of people have heard about this, I just think it's funny :p Now you can get fined for having visible underwear in Virginia. Here's just one of the many places you can read about it: http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1496756/20050209/index.jhtml?headlines=true

    Internet in London (UK)

    I have a good friend who lives in London. She currently has a dial-up connection (shared with 2 of her housemates), but I was wondering if there's a cheap DSL (or other) connection they could share instead. So, are there any ISPs in London (or the UK in general) who has...

    "New Posts since my last visit" -> error page

    When I click the "New Posts since my last visit" (which I take it refers only to my subscribed threads) link in the "My Account" bar I get the "you do not have permission to access this page." page... Has that feature been disabled for non-community members with the 5th Anniversary changes? If...

    Photoshop question - Att: DMAC or someone else who might be able to help

    Okay, I'm looking for some help with Photoshop. I'm sure this is covered in some tutorial somewhere, but I'm not sure what to look for exactly. I'm looking to do what DMAC did to his drawings in this thread: http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=93347 I.e. put something in as a...

    Help wanted: Looking for picture of Warhammer Fantasy Tower (Scenery)

    Okay, this might seem like an odd request, but I hope someone can help me out (and I hope this is the right group to ask in). Here's the deal. I'm looking for a picture (whether a scan or an image from e.g. GW's homepage) of a stone tower used for Warhammer Fantasy Battle, i.e. it's a piece of...

    What happened to theforge.pl?

    I know they used to post in this forum, so I'll take a chance and ask here. Does anyone know what happened to the theforge.pl site? I haven't been able to load it for a couple of days now.
