Aesthetic problem Lose 30 kilos (of popups)



See how these smileys are all touching the line above? Is it possible to do something about that so that it doesn't look as cramped?

The sites owners have a difficult enough time as it is without people creating spam threads to whinge and moan about some woolly aesthetics.

I agree with Nimrod. here. So there's a first for everything...

This really isn't important IMO Narck, and if you're bugged about the smilies, it hardly seems necessary to start a new thread about it.

This is a small issue that I've noticed for a while now, and it doesn't bother me that much but I just made the thread in case it's easy to fix. In any case, your spam is uncalled for. I was hoping for a response from Mark or Dan, and if they say they're not going to fix it, since it's not an important issue, that's a perfectly fine answer. However, if that's the case, I would like to hear that from them and not from Nimrod. Thanks.

Btw, Nimrod, you're getting better at this every day. You're almost ready to take over Sir David's title. Congratulations

I'll back you up, Narck. If it's easy to fix, they can do it. If not, then no biggie - the thread will die. But they're not going to know unless you tell them. And if people don't want a so-called 'spam' thread, then why do they keep bumping it???

Oh, and I like smilies too.

He whined all the time, just like Narck does. To be fair, he was a bit worse actually. A lot, come to think of it.

I didn't imply that it was spam, or that I had personally identified it as such. Hence my use of phrase "so-called".

I'm on your side. Don't attack me!!

Yes there is, by using either word processing or HTML tactics.

1) Hit the [ENTER] key between smilies
or
2) Use the "& n b s p;" command. See the difference below:

(not using the command)
  (using the command)

NOTE: Do not use any spaces between the characters above in order for the command to work.

Dan, I think he was talking about the line that the top of the smilies are sitting on, rather than putting spaces between the smilies.

Correct me if I'm wrong though, Narck.

You know I know a kid who would cry because he couldn't have green wallpaper instead of the blue he currently had. He would spent each evening wailing his sorry little red eyes out because he couldn't get his own design in his room.

Ooops, sorry I lost myself there.

Narck is also a great player of irony, he says I am ready for Sir Dick's title (of Apolyton Whiner) when all along he is the one crying his eyes over some little problem of one or two pixels. People in the off-topic love me for my informed views and it is a pity Narck doesn't feel the same way. We can't all be perfect I guess.

This is a serious question in a serious forum. Whether you think it is whining or something else, doesn't matter at all, since the question isn't directed to you.

Keep in mind that your sarcasm isn't always appreciated everywhere. Hope you'll improve your manners some day. Now kindly stay out of this thread, since you're not contributing anything to the discussion.

thanks,
narck

Geez, calm down. Let Narck ask his question. It's not like he's coming on to YOUR site and complaining. Heck, he wasn't even complaining. Why are you posting in the thread if it's so worthless?
