Your welcome.

I was trying to find an old place that was really good but can't find it. It showed all the icons so you look. Lots of the places you have to download zips and open them to see them.
The zips are small but you can get lot of one's you don't want. So make a folder and unzip them to it and pick out the ones you want, then trash the rest.

Yeah... that's kinda what I have been doing. You'd think it'd be nice to not have to unzip all the crap, but then again you have a lot more to choose from as far as picking the ones to keep.


BTW... how much html do you know Hewee?... can you tell me what's wrong with my sig? The colorizer stuff works in a post, but not in my sig. How do all those people do it? This is what I am trying to do: <FONT COLOR=#0055AA>M</FONT><FONT COLOR=#006A95>i</FONT><FONT COLOR=#008080>k</FONT><FONT COLOR=#00956A>e</FONT>.


P.S. ...at 1.4073 mi. already... Man that little guy is fast!

You can get a lot of junk fonts but the zips are small and you know where the trash is.

I don't know any .html so.

But it make a long list of code because you get one code for each letter. But it still gives you code so you can use the one code for a word.

After looking at your html code I see you did not pick any font at all, but only the color of the font so try adding a font to the code.

Got it fixed Hewee, but thanks for helping anyway. Apparently you can't use < and > in your sig (because html is turned off) so < and > are replaced with [ and ] and I few words are switched.

Yeah it's always nice to solve a problem every once in awhile, even if it may be my own... especially when I periodically get sucked into the random board.

Ok that's comforting... because I just lost 6 posts. I had written them as replies to stuff in the rambling discussion archives that I missed from yesterday and wed. and then read about Doyce's stepfather and decided to wait on posting them as that was not the time to do so... and left my computer and lost my video for some reason... and had to restart. The computer went on standby and I got it off and could use it... just I didn't have video. Oh well, it's not the end of the world. I bet DDDS and Chris are also waiting for some replies to a couple of theirs that they sent me.
