You can personally cycle through the news ticker at the top of the page. Not that its been updated with anything new in a while, but you can easily go backwards as well as forwards through the messages if you didnt quite finish reading it should it scoll to the next message

I really liked my 8-bit avatar. Does anyone know if I can find where that was located?
*EDIT* : Oh, it's still there. Huzzah!

pureclass.angelfire.com - its displaying for me, but it is rather small - i am currently experimenting in doubeling them in size... just takes a bit of time but it would be easy enough to do if you dont/cant do it EDIT: Just want to stress that due to it being a pixel effect to start off with it blurs a lot if you just increass it in size in most picture editors, so i have a method that takes a couple of hours on these to make them pixel perfect 2x size Just for example: Original:  My Double Size version:  Anybody want thier 8-bit avatar made bigger let me know, otherwise i've got more free time. Side note: Also notced that previeing your post no longer loads the page again, and you can instant edit your preview as well

I would like to make it bigger. My avatar that is.

I'd say I love you, but I only have eyes for one Limey.

Fair enough...
Actually found something else new, or at least different. It used to be that if you went into any page of any topic, the new tag would be removed from the fourm board it is in. Now you must go onto the last page or that tag remains.

I really like the 'hover over PCW Forums' option. Clean!

Another return from an old PCW star?

He was here for a bit and then had a horrific table accident. Welcome back, Alan.

This may be just an IE thing, but if you scroll down to the middle of a thread and press the back button (or backspace) - instead of going back to the previous page it jumps back to the top of the page, where you need to press back again if you truly want to go back

Damn tables. >_>
I feel a bit better about the update now (boards looked like such a mess yesterday) but now things look cleaner and that's a good thing. That said, I don't like this huge text box to make my reply in. <_< #FirstWorldProblems |

I'm still trying to figure out the Avatar Maker. No matter what I click, hair, beard, eyes, etc., won't change from the default brown.

Default should be a greyish blue. Just click whatever color that is and it should bring you to a color modifying grid. |
