of coz not insult, none taken....

oh....so do u mean I always have some grammatical problems in my post?
(I know I always have some spelling errors..:P)

Jav400 · 04-19-2002, 06:53 AM

James,

Not so much that you have grammatical errors,
but that you don't let the vB software take care of the placement
of your words.

You don't have to hit the ENTER key
at the end of what looks like the edge of the typing box.
The forum software will wrap the text where it needs to be, so
that when it needs to it will create a new line on it's own and
your text will look more like the following example:

I made a quotation out of the above example, so it isn't exactly true to form. But, it does fill out the full width of the space for quotation text. It's not a big deal James, but it just looks slightly strange compared to the other posts to have every line chopped off in different places every time.

Thank you very much lo...I finally got ur meaning.....well...I'm very used to type English stuffing with my own "new line character(\n)" in the end of each sentence. the reason is I probably used to it when I'm programming with problem of identation, and I play ICQ a lot, I use to put "........." rather then "," between words, so if I use all ".....", the auto-wrap function will always warap my large chunck of sentences to the second line which don't look good either...so that's why I get used to keep hitting "Enters"

but anyway....thank q very much, but what does it related to the responses from other ppl to my post?

The way Jav400 helped James and all, I thought It was wubly

I felt the wub.
That's not me in the pic by the way

James,

No problem, it doesn't really make that much difference. It just looked strange to have all your posts done that way. Whatever is fine with you is ok, just wanted you to know how things worked.

Conga,

If you will read the previous posts you will see that I plainly stated the no insult was intended, and James said that none was taken, the way it should be. When dealing with people here that are from all over the world, sometimes it helps to take into consideration that not everyone has English as their native tongue, or comes from the same background or understands every option of the forum. If you will notice, I didn't make the first post concerning this, Morgan did. It was intended as humor only. I merely followed up on it and tried to help a forum member. Sorry you thought it was "wubly".

Indeed. I wasn't trying to "stir it up", Just thought it was nice to see people helping each other out. This helps form a better forum community.
Most of us have been to "if in doubt,... flame" forums in the past. Glad the comment was taken in jest, the way it should be.

Ok, this thread became very sidetracked very quickly. Now im lost in geekspeek, and i suck at programming- but i digress.

So am i to understand that the 3D background is a free gift to original users, and the creature packages will come at an additional price?

The reason i ask is that i'm most looking forwards to some tentacled anemone, that my clownfish can play happily in. But therein lies my confusion...will the 3D background come with anemone, and my current clownfish will go to it, or will i have to buy the creature pack that tells the clownies to go unto it?

Usually I'd hardly worry about such trivial details considering the (projected) price of the package, but (and James probably shares my pain) in the Southern Hemisphere US $'s dont come cheap, plus the credit card companies charge their own extortion exhange fees.

Anyway my question is, will i need to pay for happy clownfish and anemones?

Tiny Turtle · 04-21-2002, 05:16 AM

Most likely. The latest news (might change though) on this was that the anemone/clownfish combo would be one of the creatures in the first package. Since the anemone requires the 3D background to have somewhere to sit (be?) it'll have to wait for 3D completion.

As I have understood it, the 3D background will be a free upgrade for all users, not just "original users"/"beta testers"/whatever. The creature packs will burden your credit card a bit though.

feldon34 · 04-24-2002, 10:23 AM

But we still love you.

James · 05-03-2002, 08:51 PM

I would like to add some more suggestions on the critter pack
how about some Cowies?

More pic of Cowies here, some r really beautiful

SunKing · 05-04-2002, 12:18 PM

Am I showing my stupidity by saying those look like snails?

James · 05-04-2002, 10:51 PM

Actually they r shells, aka money shell

anemone · 10-09-2003, 11:11 AM

Hi all,

are there any news about the creature pack?

Jav400 · 10-09-2003, 03:04 PM

No, Jim has to finish the freshwater version, then work on the new 3D background, then comes the creature packs.

anemone · 10-10-2003, 04:59 AM

That´s a lot of work!
I am somewhat sad that the Marine Aquarium will have to wait until the Freshwater Tank is finished. But I am sure Jim´s Freshwater Tank will be as wonderful as the Marine Aquarium.

patscarr · 10-10-2003, 07:52 AM

The Freshwater Tank screensaver might even be better than the Marine Aquarium screensaver, for a little while at least, because it will debut with a 3D background.
