Yeah, the interface of the GIMP is its downfall. CS2 is slightly different than CS1. I noticed a few changes, not much, though. They mostly added a few new useful filters. Like the Filter Gallery which lets you apply more than one filter at the same time, and it'll save your settings for later use. It also has this filter (i forget the name) where you can create a 3d grid, and when you brush over the grid, it automatically resizes the brush you're using. Useful for when dealing with perspective-view photos, like an image of a skyscraper when looking up. Oh, and i think they added Smart Objects in CS2. These are basically vector-based layers. Useful when importing things from Illustrator. You don't lose quality when resizing. There's more, but i can't remember them.

Both entries are nice. Good blending, and nice depth. However, my vote goes to GoE. The text helps out the sig, and nice render choice. Dawiss, yours has a nice border. Like mentioned, you went with simplicity. But the text is too simple. If you were to have worked a tad more on the text, you may have gotten my vote.

You're gonna need some knowledge in PHP and MySQL. Therefore, i searched for a tutorial so you can get the basics down for a poll. This one seems to be pretty thorough, and should be easy to modify to your advantage. After you figure out how to create a login script, you can try and add a function that checks to see if the user is logged in.

I agree with you. It is one of your best sigs, probably the best. There isn't really much to suggest. Maybe some more text blending, and maybe a little bit of blur for the background. 8.6/10 from me.

Wow, a tie at two moments--was not expecting this. Especially the quick voting. It ended in a day.Nice battle Dawiss. Your sig was nice entry. You worked hard on it, and that won you the battle. Hope to battle you again, sometime.

Anytime, dude. We're always here to help others, and will continue to help others. Like mentioned, that is what Xisto is all about. We're glad you enjoy your time here, and continue to do so.

I think there was always a debate on whether Pluto was a planet or a huge meteor. I guess they finally decided? Though, this is the first time hearing about them making a decision to switch. I wonder if this is accurate in any way.

I'm surprised the exact number 1,362 bothers you. Anyways, it might one day change. To maybe 1,363. It's a possibility. But, personally, it doesn't bother me. The first time i saw that, i was at awe. Now, it's just a regular old number to me. Though, it's always nice to have more people.

You should be able to upload them anywhere. Though, the most common way people do things, is create a folder named "forums", and stick them all in there. Then you just follow the instructions you have here.

It might be more possible, if you changed the order that it is sorted in. For example, instead of it counting going down a column like in your example. It would count going from left to right. And you would keep track of it. Whenever it retrieves two results, you tell the script to add a new row, and then reset the "tracker". And have it loop until no more results are found.But since i have not fully thought through this, a problem would result if the tracker doesn't reach the limit. Cause then it won't end the row.Anyways, i hope i gave you a general idea on how to go about it.

I agree with most of what Dawiss says. If possible, increase the brightness and contrast of the background. Do the same for the render, just not as much with the brightness. I also think the background could use a bright reddish-orange color, kinda like a fire color, but not too bright. You wanna keep that dark, evil feel to it to maintain good flow. The choice of the text is good, but could be bigger, and maybe bolder. Maybe a triple border would do nicely. Though, i'm kinda questioning the triple border idea.

$60 is more for like 6 mega-bit connections. I doubt you have that, or at least have no need for it, when 1.5 or 3 mega-bit connections would/should suffice. I don't see how it could be spyware. Even if it is spyware, it shouldn't affect your DSL bill. It should only affect your phone bill--at least to my knowledge. There has to be some mistake.

Here's my entry. Let the better sig win.

I always use the noise filter to make stars. It gives a nice realistic feel with a little contrast. Though, i sometimes have trouble with space dust.Anyways, it's a nice sig. Maybe if you added a zoom blur, it might give it a nice space warp feel. The style on the "T17" is good, but maybe if it was more hard it might look better.7.9/10

I dare! Style: grunge and/or abstract Size: 350x150 Colors: Any I'll provide my entry ASAP.

It looks nice. Could use another border, though. And maybe more readable text. I can guess the left text correctly, but i'm not sure what the text on the right says.

Seems like a cropped image with text slapped on it. Indeed, look up on some tutorials. Get the basics down first. There's always time for improvement later.

Quality advice coming from Dawiss. <_<Anyways, i would add some more depth to the edges, along the border of the sig. Basically what Dawiss mentioned, only directed at a more specific area.Anyways, the colors of the render really made that sig come alive. Continue following Dawiss' advice.

Yeah, listen to beastjordan. If you place them in the gallery here in Xisto, people can rate them and comment on them. You don't have to post them here. Make use of the gallery, it's there for a reason.

I'd say, move the text a bit more to the bottom right.The "tree-shadow" effect (tis what i call it) you have going there is a nice touch. I'm not really a poster person, so i can't suggest much. But what you have is good.

They look familiar. Aren't they for the PHPBB forums?

Here you go. Enjoy.

There are some things i would like you to work on a bit: color, contrast, some depth (not really much improvement needed for this), and text. The main thing i noticed about your text is that the anti-alias is usually off. That creates a pixelated edge on the text, not really a good thing, unless you're using pixel fonts.Improve in a few of these areas, and you should get my vote.

Request filled. Closing topic.
