New person VERY confused :S

from Stardock Forums

Ok I just purcahsed window blinds, I installed impulse, after numerous errors with things, I finally go tit to download WB's, I loaded it, I have no skins / Themes.

It took me to a site, wincustomize, and everywhere I click, it gives me an error saying "Sorry, there was a problem loading this page.
Please use your browser's 'back' button or visit the WinCustomize home page"

 

I've tried in different browsers.

 

Please tell me I can get skins / themes for free? I just  bought windowblinds, I would hate to have to purchase every new skin as well.

 

Please assist.

Their problem is that many gifs are big files...that need to be downloaded into cache...so if there are animated avatars all over the place site page load times go to shit...;)

One of my favorites is Senior Waterskiing.

I thought it best to link to it since this is a family site.

Haxx! But if the purpose of not accepting gifs is to prevent animated avatars you're playing with fire. :)

Good one. Hey, if you really want to endear yourself to the admins and mods, I have a bunch of stuff I did of them in photoshop that I have been legally prevented from posting that I don't have the time to post. I'd be happy to let you post them. :D

Ah, i cant remember anything in the terms of service about gif formats, and besides, technically it is a jpg now. I dont try to be a rebel, i just though id spice up my avatar. Im more afraid of the thread being closed cause its off topic. Which gives me an idea, why not start a gif thread? Oh crap, boss is here...

No it's not. Changing the file extension does NOT convert your image. Just open it in a text reader and you'll see that the header is still saying it's "GIF89a".

Changing my last name to Wang wouldn't make me chinese.

You mean kverulant (is there an english word for it? I have no clue... I'll research it :P)? It may seem that way to you, I see it as education.

 

EDIT: Quibbler is the google translation of the swedish word "Kverulant" I assume that's the point you were trying to make?

EDIT2: Just because I like cooking up examples, here's one more: If I wrap an apple in an orange peel, does it technically make the result an orange?

I googled the word because I was unsure ;) (probably the hits I got were from blogs and stuff and were misspelled there too)

Oh well, Norwegian isn't my first language O:)

No offence ment BTW.

Your way of spelling is probably right in norway though. And I'm not easily offended. :)
