WHY??

if deb hates capital letters, why must the BB in http://buslist.org/phpBB be capitalized to access the site? it's a travesty, hate the shift key.

yeah that's happened to me a few times in the past. i just veiwed about 6 or so pages of posts from your profile page, so it seems to be working fine for me at the moment.

Am I doing something wrong or is the board set up so that wget actually doesn't work? i'm useless with nix, but i wouldn't be surprised if that's the case. isn't it a fav amongst anon. trolls+bots, who wget all the images on a website at least million times, in the hopes of pulling off a dos attack?

the minimum system requirements for vista are hefty (1 GHz CPU, 1GB RAM, 28 VRAM). especially since i can run the latest version of OSX on a computer with a 466 MHz CPU, 640 MB RAM, and 16MB VRAM; and OSX is basically what they ripped off to create vista. and i'm not sold on direct x 10 either, ther...

could you possibly rephrase that question? i'm unshure of what you're trying to get across.
are you talking about getting an avatar (the little picture that goes under your username in the left column), or putting a picture in your signature/posts?

um... it's actually a combined limit. :star:
your avatar and sig images combined are limited to a maximum file size of 18kb in total.

but for sake of our members who still use dial up, we recommend 5k avatars and 8k sigs as laura mentioned.
