that poster was great mate! can you officially submit it to the FFA?



That's my intention - to set a number of designs for proposal to FFA along with particular campaign concepts to educate and perhaps inspire and create attention to Australia's plight to bid for the 2018 WC...perhaps consider making the campaign a poster competition and entries are voted upon and slug it out - as like the actual WC...it could be collaborating teams to achieve successful popularity votes to keep them in the running? Not sure just ideas at the moment.

Been getting a lot of attention which is great with the avatar and the animated gif - however a majority of the comments have been defeatist and negative...and disappoints and saddens me to know that the good ole Aussie spirit is a myth maybe? No faith that the possibility is there are nothing is achieved by chance - just hard work and a lot of self confidence - FAITH! and there seems to be a huge lack of that - maybe due to the persistent urban racial divisions and non supportive communities for the sport...I see too much persecution of racial cast - both untoward both sides of the coin...

As for the double up of messages before - I did type a message before and it did post - yet it hasn't shown which again proves that my browser FF has been playing up badly! since coming to this and another two forums...I do know how to edit - thank you...

Ummm... WTF? The alarm the was a joke. Sorry that youre a downer. And the n00blet thing could fall under that too. Stop boosting your post count too. I can call you a n00blet when you dont even know how to edit. You are n00b personafied as far as im concerned. And it wasnt derogatory anyway. Seriously, lighten up, we dont need another xTwat in here. You think we are all out to get you. It just a lil bitta banter. Lighten up.

WTF :shock: ummm I dont think there is any need for name calling - thanks! Don't appreciate it being lashed with pet names or whatever and certainly do not accept it as a term of endearment neither or as part of normal forum ethics or etiquette...

As for the Flickr thing...they don't block anything with their code - they just provide a warning if they discover that anyone uses it for those purpose I listed...

It's a minor issue, but I tried lastnight and oversized images aren't resized automatically. Also, I tried a 100x100 gif animation which didn't go through its frames, and another 100x100 gif which also lost its transparency. Meh.

If there was so much rage about a petty animated advertisment 6 months ago, one can only imagine the uproar over animated sigs. :lol:

Ummmmmm thanks yet I wasn't intending to ruin anything! And my sig was set at 400 x 20px...I was just curious to why it wasn't flicking through its frames as any animated gif would. However the animated gif was stored on my Flickr account and I have since read their details in regards to the DON'T DO! and removed it.

Don’t use your account to host web graphics like logos and banners.
Your account will be terminated if we find you using it to host graphic elements of web page designs, icons, smilies, buddy icons, forum avatars, badges, and other non-photographic elements on external web sites.


By the way thanks for the welcome!:?

The signatures have been set up to automatically resize to fit within the given dimensions. When it does this, it loses all transparency and animation properties.

It was set up that way so we don't have forums that is more signatures than posts, and yes, having animated signatures would just ruin it even more.
