Acually, technically, since Tomorrow is the last day of the month, you have all day tomorrow too. But really, you can do it anytime, even 3 months from now if yuo'd like. The Vue Challenges don't ever "expire". :)

Cool, thank you Mike! I'll post my pict tomorrow, but later I'll probably try this night atmosphere that I've previously in mind... once I've figured how to use Vue2 lights (too bad there's no range limit for light emision, btw). Herv

Hey Mike, maybe we should keep a list somewhere of what each monthly challenge topic has been...and now, two each month. Maybe on the FAQ page? :)

Herv fiddle with the "falloff" setting on the lights. I think that's what you're looking for. :)

Yeah, I've had the FAQ page in the back of my mind ever since it was out there, but from what I understand, it's not the same as the message boxes, and is highly HTML-dependant...in other words, it'd be an terribly time-consuming nightmare for me to do one, LOL. But not really. I could always use my Front Page 98 and just copy/paste the html source in there. You know though, I really wouldn't know where to begin with a FAQ page, per se', and I'd hate to be just saying to people, "Read the FAQ!", you know? Putting the VC's in tehre, and keeping links to them there as well would be a pretty good idea. Maybe we should start with this month rather than trying to round up all the old ones?

I just took a look at the form, and I think piece of cake. No HTML needed at all, although it certainly can be used. I'm not sure what should be in a FAQ generally either, but if we want the VC's in there, I don't think it would be a problem to hunt them up. Started with the clouds, I think it was. I can do some digging later tonight if you'd like. :)

Hey man, knock yourself out. ;) I was thinking about asking Lynn if it would be OK for us to copy the E-on FAQ into the space. What do you think?



Varian posted Tue, 31 July 2001 at 9:57 PM

Nah, I think it should be more of a forum FAQ. We just need some facts to put into it - maybe we could start with: 1) You are Here. lol ;)

Yes. 1) Are you here? T F 2)............. Ok, we'll have to think this through. ;)
