    I would recommend phpBB, but that's your choice, although you will need your own web host...

    I think that you don't need any more color, as long as you stick to a single color scheme, and don't add random colors (i.e. black and purple might contrast, but they don't look all that good together...), it's fine.

    Problem with mouse

    Possible, although he did mention defragging his hd... also, most modern or semi-modern computers should be able to read off of the hd and move the mouse at the same time.

    Similar problems also occur with inactive CD drives and such. Most people don't touch their power settings, which should be set to something reasonable when they first buy the computer or install Windows. Still, you can never be too sure :).

    Freewebs is nice - www.freewebs.com . They give you 100 MB of web space, and some other nice features, but you can't use images hosted on Freewebs servers in HTML tags. However, I think you can directly link to images, but I'm not sure (never tried :indifferent: ).

    Oh: 0 A. D. : 0 Annihilation + Destruction!

  10. Do You Believe In Aliens?

    Probably all the other sentient life out there is thinking the same thing...

    Like, NASA once sent out a radio signal with a bitmap, being some symbolic representation of people, the earth, ... but how do we know aliens use the same method of converting a stream of data into a 2D image? How do we know they use pixels? How do we know that they don't use a compressed format for transmitting data? And even if they do, that image was too pixelated to tell anything from anyways.

    Either that or my memory is deceiving me...

    Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated. (check copyright for this...)

    We're doomed! Doomed, I tell you!

    Mwahahahahaha *choke* *caugh* *caugh*...

    Made you look!

    You blinked! (rush and then say this :D )

    I know you are, but what am I? (considering how much people call each other gay over the Internet...)

    OK, so I'm not good at thinking up quotes...

    Going with some stuff I read on the site about formations being more useful, unit speed should probably be more useful as well. Instead of just having speed to travel from one side of the map to the other, speed should also be used to dodge attacks (or call it agility, or whatever) or something. Also you may want to have unit AI that can be set to on/off/partial. On being advanced AI where you don't have to micro-manage, partial being standard RTS stuff, and off being for those who have memorized every hotkey there is and want to micro-manage everything. Anyways, I'll give you more as I come up with them :D.

    Problem with mouse

    I think that the moving to the top/side of the screen in a general optical mouse problem. It happens to one of my optical mice, but I haven't seen it on the wireless one yet...

    Also kind of funny that I am running a computer with XP Pro, 128 MB of memory, and about 10 programs open at any given time...

    Tim, memory sometimes matters more than CPU speed. I think that your CPU should be enough to handle whatever you're doing, but the memory is the real problem. You will see a great boost in speed with more memory. My best guess at the moment is a performance problem. On my 128 MB computer, when I press the period button in MSVC, a menu is supposed to appear, but since the computer's so slow, it takes some 15 seconds. However, all keypresses pressed during the time the computer 'freezes' to load the menu are still recorded (and when the menu appears, all the keys I pressed suddenly appear on the screen). That may be something like your problem...

    So your mouse cursor 'jumps' (analogy: low framerate) or does it freeze for a few minutes?

    For 'jumping', it is most likely a performance problem. Other possible causes are a bad mouse (probably not in your case) or bad drivers (only applicable for certain types of mice - wireless mice, Dell optical mice, some older mice). If this is happening, disable EVERYTHING you don't need at startup, defrag 2-3 times in a row (the Windows built-in defragger isn't the most effective...), and if you have Windows XP, make sure you have AT LEAST 256 MB of memory. That's enough to run Windows XP and Microsoft Word with about 90% smoothness...

    If it is freezing, then the cause may be some program that is hogging the processor. Do EVERY check possible - check your startup, check for viruses, check for spyware, ... ... if nothing works, try below...

    While the mouse is 'freezing', try pressing some keys (i.e. CTRL+ALT+DELETE) and seeing if that works (or if you're playing a video game, if everything still happens). If so, then it is a mouse problem. Solution one: check the connection. Solution two: get a new mouse.

    If none of these work, then I can't help you much further. Hope this helps...
