How do I switch to Old School? When I go to My Gaia > Account Settings, I can't find anywhere in that menu (or on the pages) that lets me switch to Old School.

You've outdone yourself Koko. xd heart



Simply wonderful. Will be linking it once I get my new profile up. :]

[lumnata]

I must say this is a fantastic tool. I'm really impressed. I've referred to it a number of times while creating my new profile (which is still a work in progress). Thank you so much.

@Straight Ace: Thanks. I figured it out not too long after I posted.

Wow, this is like, the detaildiest guide ever heart
and its not even finished yet :0

*impatient dance*

Detailed? xD YAYY! O___O I just think it's really detailed because of
the pictures, but all the material has been mentioned before from others.
I'm just representing it differently.

*dances with you* ; ___ : <333
I still have to create videos and fix up all this fxcked up BBcode. >__>




@`Luxor :: For some reason, when I was searching for my thread on
a different computer (I didn't suscribe, hah). I found yours, so that's why I asked.

Srsly, creating a guide is troubling, but rewarding in the end. wink



@Kayley :: Yah... it's seriously taking forever, but it's worth it if it can
reduce most of the common questions appearing in the PD. xD

I want to thank you for bringing that up to me. I just assumed that everyone
had cable/adsl and weren't running on dial-up. Once I'm finished with creating
all the images, I'll get to compressing it.


To be honest, I don't really know how to reduce the size. Is it the feature in
Photoshop it asks you if you want low quality or high quality? D : Most of the
images can't be reduced because they need to see the profile details.

This is very well done Koko. Im sure not only beginners with css
with have use of this but oldies too. 3nodding *hugs*
Im gonna link it definately.

I need to link your guide as well. It's imperative that beginners know that
designing is important in general.

Thanks, plysch. whee heart


@Equilor :: For... a long... a** time... xD So, yes. Organizing, creating the images
and typing out the text takes a lot of time.

O____O


Haha, thanks! xD My avi is hxlla old.


@disposable :: Awww.... thanks, but I have to thank you as well
for taking your time to read all through this. : )

Knowing that this guide helps you, makes me feel all giddy inside.

So, thank you.

xd




@lumnata :: Whoops! I forgot to add that. Thank you for mentioning
that I have updated the first step to implement that process.

My Gaia > Account Settings > Preferences

; )

I hope you continue to use it, and in due time if more things come up I'll
surely add it.

I'm not sure about PS. I use Paint Shop Pro X and if you go to File --> Export --> JPG Optimizer you can export with a low byte size and a high level of image quality. You might want to see if you can find a freeware exporter, if PS doesn't have one. With PSP, you can reduce the file size without really reducing the image quality, which is why I recommended it.

Neko, if you go file > save for web and devices you can fiddle with the options their. 3nodding

@Kayley :: For some reason, I always thought you used PS for your graphics.
I'm sure I'll find out. : ) Thanks (again) for making me aware of the situation. You're
always so thoughtful.

3nodding heart


@Luxor :: Yessssssssss, I know right. ; ____ ; It's because of the BBcode and the graphics you have to manipulate. Sucks, much. Two posts for what? O_O


Thank you, I'll check it out. 3nodding

@Ace :: Thanks, Ace. I tried. xD Yah, a video. I already posted one. I was really tempted to do a voice rollover, but my voice might terrify people.

Haha. lol
