    working on putting my BATTLESTAR GALACTICA downloaded shows on DVD and couldn't find the NEW Battlestar Galactica Font to use in Menu Studio..so I've decided I'm going to have to REVERSE engineer a "close approximation" anyone out there know how to use this program to create your own fonts from scratch?

    Is there a moderater looking in? I agree with headborg about being shown my isp number. Is there a way to set my putter to stop anyone from seeing this. There are afew others doing the same thing here at afterdawn.

    It may be a bit unnerving, but it really is harmless. the site that does it doesn't save the info, it just echoes it back to your screen in the picture that is generated on the fly...

    what you should be worried about is someone setting up the same thing with a static picture (same for everyone) but in the background recording all the available data. check out that sites webpage, there are a lot more bits of info that they can access when you DL a "picture" from their website. any website can do this as ir runs on the server which can access a database if it has set one up.

    other versions include some sites that provide counters. the placees that say "there have been ##### visitors since June 31st,2005" could just be incrimenting a counter for every hit but sites that diferentiate between hits and unique hits either need to place a cookie on your computer (which isn't accurate because if you delete the cookie then the next time there it will place another cookie and think it has a new computer) or they need to save you in a database. the easiest way is to record your ip address but that also is falable if you are dialup it changes every time. so the only sure way is to save your computer id which is why Microsoft and Intel ran into such a mess when they tried to impliment it autlmatically

    long story short:
    don't fret about the ones that say "YOO HOO, look at me!" worry about the stealth ones

    and to stop it tell your browser to never DL pictures in internet explorer it is TOOLS>"internet options">"advanced>multimedia (chose checkboxes to undo)

    it is a temporary ban...
    he signed on and posted. got banned for his siggy and will have to change his siggy if he wants to post again or be banned for longer (or even permantaly if he is rebanned for the same thing again)

    saying he is banned helps the staff not having to weed through all the pm's complaining about him.... you don't need to complain because the staff already knows about it
