Do this [ URL=http://www.mud-club.com]mudclub[/URL] except take out the space between [ and URL at the start and it will work.

Hope this helps, i assume this is what you mean :lol:

Post by: Budgie on July 02, 2006, 17:43:35: If you use this code for the URL, note the "=" after the first "url" and the close bracket is after the web address.

Code: [Select]
[url=www.mud-club.com]Mud Club[/url]

Then this coding gives you Mud Club (http://www.mud-club.com). :D

Now i need to work out how you got your headlights to flash in your avatar.

With an animated GIF program.
Go to http://jansfreeware.com/, click on the "Graphics" tab and look for "Movies 13". It's a free download and works quite well. :wink:
You also need some kind of photo editor so you can add the lighting effect to the original photo but it looks like you've got one of those already. :D

Nothing to do with avatars but I like to show off........... I've been playing with Photoshop and made some space scenes, what do you think? :mrgreen:

Post by: Budgie on July 03, 2006, 00:56:39: If you've got Photoshop then I can post links to some tutorials that take you through it step by step.
It's actually quite easy once you know what to do, I've got it down to about 10-15 minute for a planet now. :wink:

There's a lot to it Dan and I'm still learning what the program can do.
For fading you can use the "feather" tool which feathers the edges of one photo to the background and if you do the same to the next one then you should be able to get what you're looking for. :wink:
