What does the message say? I've never gotten an invalid message in paint before.

i've got a idea for the club pic i'll post it later on the day :)

YO YO YO, people,
Sorry about not beening here lasdt night but some asshole (brother) took away my DSL rooter to his mates so I couldent access NG at night this is 2 nights in a row that cock sucker my rank is doing terrible due to him and my expi almost lagged but i got the asshole to come also has anyone noticed how many posts Cfoxcook does in a row?

i was wondering why you weren't here :) and yes i've seen it :)

I werent here in the day cos i was out with friends (first in a long time).
The first night my connection was down at the server but the second night the fuckign server wasnet there!

Just made 6,700 points. I've noticed that staphita has been chipping away at my lead on him by roughly 4 points a day. If this continues he'll overtake me but I'm hoping my consistency will eventually prevail.

I just made 5,200. A bit behind ya. #;-}>

Anyway, congrats, looks like Sergeant Major ain't too far away for ya. I have a feeling I'll be at SFC longer than I was at Staff Sergeant, but I should be at Master Sergeant by May at the latest, no doubt.

BTW, regarding screenshots: once you paste it into paint, you'll want to cut out the parts you don't want by selecting them with the dotted-rectangle-outline tool (selection box), and hitting delete. Then move the bit you want to the upper left, and drag the lower right dot up to the lower right corner of your image, to shrink the total size of the pic.

If you're screenshotting your profile window, BTW, use alt-printscreen instead of just printscreen, because then it will just capture the window itself, not the full screen.

Thank you gfoxcook! This is the first explanation I've actually understood!!

Cool. I wasn't sure if you'd understand the "lower right dot" part, it's sometimes hard to see it on the edge of the pic. The alt-prntscrn trick really comes in handy a lot, so don't forget that one, especially.

Did you ever take a look at the exp/level file, BTW?

Whats new people? (God i sound like XK ;-)
Ivew over taken one of my rank targets regardless of the loss of internet access,
Seems GuineVir stopped ranking up points after you got him recon and it seems everyone on my target list is only getting minimal per day so i think i can catch most except for maybe skum001 he seems like a pest that will get higher and higher but hey im getting there.....

hello members just wanted to say what up i know i have not been around much i have a lot of things going on right now, but i wanted to holla at you all......

Didnt I say my last post start sounded like something XK would say?
Im mostly just looking at my rank right now, waiting for my level up in a few days, that will add on to my new voting power of 7.77. I think it will bring me into the 7.80 something's but if brings my into the 7.90's or 7.90's ill be happy.
Does anyone know how much power your voting goes up by at the next level?
(looking towards Cfoxcook)

I think you mean *G* foxcook, man. That's the second time you've misspelled my name today. #;-}>

Anyway, it doesn't go up at all when you level up. Not any more than any other 10 exp depositing, at least. Here, observe:

20030115 900 / 916 lv09 5.23%** 5.34%** (+2%)
20030116 910 / 916 lv09 5.24%** 5.44%** (+4%)
20030117 920 /1,432 >>*lv10*<< 5.24%** 5.45%** (+4%)
20030118 930 /1,433 lv10 5.24%** 5.45%** (+4%)
20030119 940 /1,434 lv10 5.25%** 5.46%** (+4%)

note: the only reason it jumped from 5.34 to 5.44 was the jump up from safety patrol to security guard.

Sorry to break it to you. You'd better get another blam/protect rank if you really want it to jump upwards.

Just a test.

Hey gfoxcook I have the pic I want & it's the correct file size & dimensions, but each time I try to post it I get a message saying it's not the correct jpeg or gif. I've tried changing the name but to no avail. Do I have to save it in another program or something? I'm stuck. Help would be appreciated.

Maybe it's in bmp format? I'd take Newgrundling's advice, I suppose. Send it over to him since he offered. Hm...

if it's the right size for NG's BBS, under 400x300.... and it's a jpg or gif... and it STILL won't let you post it... that's just totally weird.

BTW, you don't seem to have any problems changing your profile pic or your sigpic, right? Try making it into a narrow pic and change your sigpic to it, see if that works (as long as you have an old copy of your current sigpic to change back to, at least).

Simply renaming the file will not work. I could rename a text file to "myfile.jpg" and if there weren't checks against this sort of thing, you guys would be seeing completely messed up output on your screens if I did that... You need to change the type of the file through a program, rather than renaming it. ;)

How do I change a file type through a program??

All I want to do is post my current blams/protects when I reach 7,000 points. I don't want someone to do it for me, I would just like to know how to do it. I see other people have done this so I don't understand the problem.

Okay, thanks Newgrundling. Here I go again.

Hello Everyone Memebers its me again......your a funny guy Spancker very funny and i guess some of my skillz are rubbbing off on you.......anyway if anyones on here holla if not check you all in one.....

If you're not too busy how about dropping a couple of zeroes on these protected submissions. These pieces of crap are getting voted up from the pits of hell. Lets put them back where they belong.
Crap #1

Crap #2

Thanks for your time.

Why would shadow be doing it i know hes in the magical musical crew but damn it why would they go after it?
