Must be something like that!
When I switch to goo it's a very dark blue. If I didn't know my smiley was a witch on the broom I wouldn't be able to make it out - and I just found out that I cannot see the "reply" button at all!!!!!

Well, back to Alabaster for me! *sigh*

no! don't despair! try fiddling with the contrast and brightness and see if that helps.

There is a German site with lots of Ascii Art at

i don't have to know what it means-- i can just use the altavista bablefish translater(let us sing praise of this wonderful site which introduced me to h2g2!) and type

this is a telepathic interface to the magic food maker.(resideing at the Flophouse, along with most of the rest of my creations) you put
the pads on your forehead and think of what it is you want and it
comes out the hole in the magic food maker.

i've compiled all the art from the thread here: http://www.geocities.com/tangentialone//forum.html

just because, that way the font's correct for everyone, or should be anyway.

(i've cut out the text that doesn't explain anything)

I'll go check out that Geocities page just as sson as I get some decent ad-blocking and popup killing software on this new pc How nice to see an old conversation re-surface. How are you Wayfarer? Our paths haven't crossed for ages... too much procrastination prolly

oh, it's mainly the same, i'm just hoping there won't be the problems with font we occasionally get here. i'm good, overwhelmed with homework but not actually doing any of it, so *that's* alright.

hee hee i'll put that in you know.

I thought we were allowed to post URLS in conversations now. Why haven't the URLs in Post 23 and 24 come back? Were they simply thrown away?

well, probably. don't think they would've kept them..

Mark... or maybe it was Jim (blessed be his name for he is the one true god, may his tribe increase) said that those url's were deleted forever and couldn't be got back back, but there's no reason now why they couldn't be re-posted
