"Web Design - General Chat"

I was going through the archive earlier and came across Turbo’s Web Design Pledge. Although I can vaguely remember this when it happened, I thought nothing of it, but upon reading it again, something really caught my eye.

“However, the forum is just being "used". Where as forums like the FOG are ever-popular, with people visiting regularly and generally having fun, the Web Design forum is merely being "used" for question and such like. Well, no longer! I want to turn this forum into a proper community.”

He is right here, this forum is only really used by people wanting questions answered, but I think that this forum is probably the best on the site. Mainly because nearly everyone in here knows what they are talking about. But I don’t like how the forum is used just for questions.

So here is what I propose, we use this thread for general chat. Not just web design, anything at all. Since not many people pass through this forum anymore, it won’t get spammed up too much, it’ll just be a place where people can go to be themselves.

If it doesn’t work, then fine. I just think this thread will be able to make this forum more of a community.

So… what’s up everyone? :0)

Thought I better post this here as it's the only place worth it :-)

I've got a cell which I am putting text in for a website but whenever I go to make a new line using enter it goes down two lines and not one.

How do I fix this dudes?

Great. Now we are all agreed Flash does not have an in-built drop shadow effect, if you ever feel the need to create a drop shadow in Flash, just follow the instructions I spent ages typing below!!!

I don't know, just try to help people, and they call you an old fogey!

Flash doesn't have a nice, small, non-CPU-slaying dropsahdow effect.

Too right, :)

What version of Photoshop have you got now then?
I don't know if Flash has a drop shadown effect, i still havn't found the time *sniggers* (i'm unemployed) to check it out.
i'm off to cause more havoc on my website...

Pfht, damn old fogies..

It does now dear boy, but way back in Photoshop 3 it didn't, thats why us old school boys had to do it the hard way... Not like you young whipper snappers, expect everything on a plate you do, few clicks of a filter, and hey presto, a drop shadow, you don't know how luck you are, in my day

Erm, is there a drop shadow effect in Flash? If not, then follow the instructions I posted, hey presto, drop shadow!

Yep, was quiet all afternoon, I had to resort to posting in the other forums! This forum does seem the quietest, but I think this is where the most intelligent and sometimes passionate conversations happen.
