Eh. <shrugs>

It was nice to see grizzly's review of miasma's gallery, we have so many different galleries here now, I doubt everyone has seen all the galleries yet

I don't really see the point of monjangles' rant, maybe he'll have something more substantial to say in his next article.

But hey, the more content the better, so keep it coming

Yeah I like the gallery reviews myself and I think GrizzlyBear is also thinking of doing some interviews with gallery owners like...YOU!

Grizzly writes: " The User Gallery had about 30 to 50 pages of 15 a piece, and The Bust Artists' gallery was brand new, so now that I think about it, that was back in '99. Damn I feel old.

After reading THAT, how do you think I feel??

Now that there are articles up, I like the "review" goal of Grizzly's. His approach, so far, seems straight forward and honest without being nasty. I look forward to more reviews.

Monjangles? I get enough of that in New York. That I will skip.

P.S. --
...and The Bust Artists' gallery... Does Bruce Wayne say, "I am The Bat Man" ? No. Michael Keaton, in his deadpan way, delivers the line at least accurrately, if not well acted, as "I am Batman".

"I am BustArtist."

Just ribbing ya', Grizzly. I've been getting this for over 5 years now.

Keep it up!

I think we'll all have to see how it developes over time. I would be lying if a said that I didn't miss the Thanks x3.1 webzine alot though. Since its demise we haven't been able to contribute to the community as we would like. I think Griz has arrived at the right time though, and we both really wish him the best of luck.

Black letters on a dark background are VERY hard to read.

GrizzlyBear · « **Reply #7 on:** December 02, 2002, 01:15:39 AM »

Man, now I'm blushing. I didn't expect THIS to be in the forum. I want to thank you all for your feedback. Seems people really like the reviews I do, and I bet every damn one of you are anxious to see your own site reviewed on my Zine. Give it time, it'll come

As far as Mr. Monjangles, it's a temp thing. I didn't know how well I was going to fair at the beginning, so I used him as a filler. Truth be told, he's not going to last into this next year. He's going to be moving soon, and ironically, he -IS- from New York.

Black text on dark background? What is it, that you're referring to? I'd like to fix it, if you could tell me

Keep reading guys! It's going to be a weekly update every Saturday/Sunday, so just check in on Mondays, unless you're impatient like me.

Thank you again, to all of you.

And BA, got it loud and clear. I just think of you as THE Man, so I call you THE Bust Artists, long e sound, because you were the first BEArchive gallery I ever visted.

So to all the kiddies around the campfire,
This is Grizzly Bear

Very good game that. Actually have the Alice and cat figure sitting by my computer monitor.

well, this attachment is what it looks like to me under mozilla.

Here's another example...

GrizzlyBear · « **Reply #11 on:** December 02, 2002, 03:11:44 PM »

Odd, the HTML coding clearly states that the background on all pages shall be black, and that the text for Grizzly's articles shall be light purple, and Monjangles articles shall be white. Very odd indeed. But of course over 93% of people who read my zine are hitting it with Internet Explorer, and I think you're the only Mozilla user, so I can't say for sure if it has something to do with Mozilla.

*shrugs*

GrizzlyBear · « **Reply #12 on:** December 02, 2002, 03:13:14 PM »

Why yes, that is the Chesire Cat from American McGee's Alice. Very good game indeed, as I'm a big fan of Lewis Carol's Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass, not the Disney rehashed crap.

BTW, I posted a whole bunch of extra pics in my gallery, what do you people think of them?

Imaginos · « **Reply #13 on:** December 03, 2002, 01:13:36 AM »

That is really odd I wonder if the html code is using color=#white instead of color=#ffffff. If thats the case then its easy to change.

If that is not the case then maybe there is an unclosed tag?

Ok i just checked the source in mozilla and the page is acting really weird. I would make a blind stab that it may be the css but the forum works and it uses a css.

here is the body tag
<body BGCOLOR="000000" Text="D078F0" LINK="#E8D858" VLINK="#D05028" ALINK="#48C838">

annnnddd now I see the error. Sheesh. Change these 2 lines BGCOLOR="000000" Text="D078F0" to this

BGCOLOR="#000000" Text="#D078F0"

Forgot the number defination so the browser didn't realize how to handle the colors. hence the spotty white background and the default black text.

IE is a sloppy html browser

Yes, and you're the one who proofread my code 'fore I went live

Just hazin ya Imaginos, I forgot the numbers cause I forget the simplist shit when I'm trying to code for the first time in 3 years. Sheesh.
