I think that a few events they believed the judging was "unfair"...from when I watched at least that was the case. Oh, well. Better luck next time. thedude Thu, 28 Aug 2008 14:06:27 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/why_the_olympic_team_is_complaining 506004 Re: I forgot my password If you contact us & have the same IP, we may be able to help you. thedude Thu, 28 Aug 2008 11:40:11 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/i_4got_my_password 505792 Re: I want an actual background for my profile, how to do it? click the "customize" link on your profile page, and either update your profile there, OR add a photo with the "my photos' link and then add it as a background. thedude Thu, 28 Aug 2008 11:39:02 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/profile_212605 505790 Re: Does anybody read the New York Times, New York edition?

Visit your profile: http://www.funadvice.com/my/alainabby Click the "customize" link in the left hand side. Follow the GUI :) I'm sure if you surf around the aim website they point you to some resources, the only reason we don't (yet) for your profile, here, is because our tool is only a week & a half old, and we have a bunch of upgrades in the works. thedude Thu, 28 Aug 2008 09:54:59 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/aim_profiles_14527 505683 Re: How do you put on a picture click the my photos link in the upper right. thedude Thu, 28 Aug 2008 07:58:47 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/how_do_u_put_on_a_picture 505536 Re: How do I edit my photos!?! the "my photos" link in the upper right of the page... http://www.funadvice.com/my/photos thedude Wed, 27 Aug 2008 17:17:13 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/how_do_i_edit_my_photos 504578 Re: How do I make my profile better Left side of your profile, the link says "customize"...enjoy. thedude Wed, 27 Aug 2008 17:14:17 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/make_it_better 504571 Re: How do I find the startup folder in windows xp?

If you use firefox, it will highlight bad spelling automatically :) And, if you use word OR open office (free) they will check your grammar for you. Welcome to FunAdvice. :) Why have a person spend time doing something that software can do for you, for free? thedude Wed, 27 Aug 2008 15:10:39 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/will_someone_double_check_my_gammer 504397 Re: How to get my profile background to repeat? We don't have that option (yet) hopefully in a week or two...in the meantime, you can use gimp or another free image editor to create a background image that will fit the screen. thedude Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:33:12 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/how_to_get_my_profile_backgroung 504353 Re: Anyone live in hawthorne nv?

No...it seems it could be a bug. However, I've never heard of this bug before...so, what's your browser, operating system, etc? And then I can file it with our engineers. Did you get an error message on the page? The function uses javascript...so, if you got a js error, we'd need to know what browser you're using to diagnose & fix it. thedude Wed, 27 Aug 2008 11:16:39 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/why_i_cant_mark_it_as_anonymous 504107 Re: Black powder hmmm...well, salt peter is one.

If McCain promised to take the money from those executives who bilked millions of Americans out of their future earnings through shady mortgage deals, then awesome. However, I think both the candidates are out of touch & want the people who were smart and NOT buy more than they can afford with the bill. thedude Tue, 26 Aug 2008 23:11:17 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/john_mccain_announces_his_plan_to 503523 Re: Why cant I upload any more pics, anyone know? If you add more than 5, you won't see them on your profile, you'll see them on your 'My photos' page...let me know if the bug is still an issue or if it was sorted. thedude Tue, 26 Aug 2008 14:21:53 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/why_cant_i_upload_any_more_pics_anyone 502644 Re: Pictures moderated? If you only post a URL, it'll get removed automatically...depending on what the URL is. If it has HTML, it may show up "invisible" which is a known bug. thedude Tue, 26 Aug 2008 14:20:10 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/pictures_moderated 502640 Re: Why did funadvice start? Honestly? Ericson & I started it when my wife was in Nepal for vacation with her family for a few months. So, we wanted to do something "forum esque" b/c we both had a bit of experience in building & running forum like sites. Initially, we focused on love & relationships, we had five catgories. However a while later we realized our mistake and added more categories... of course, now we have the other problem of being able to find stuff in a given category, so "narrowing" is on our list. And our idea, initially, was that we could, somehow, do it *better* than other sites were doing it...this idea has evolved a bit over the last 5.5 years, but that's the core of it :) thedude Tue, 26 Aug 2008 10:05:23 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/why_did_funadvice_start 502335 Re: Lock a question If you want, we can lock it for you, just drop an advisor a note. thedude Tue, 26 Aug 2008 10:02:59 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/lock_a_question 502331 Re: Anonymous questions?

I think the xbox is best because of the current, today, library of games. However, if you wait another 3 years, I think the PS3 will pwn xbox. For kids, the wii rocks, it's by far the most child friendly. thedude Mon, 25 Aug 2008 16:24:14 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/what_is_the_best_console_for_video 501232 Re: What does the bible say about wine drinking? Well, the way people knew Jesus was important was turning water into wine at a wedding, his first miracle...so, the Christian god wants you to drink! And, the Christian god doesn't have a 21 year waiting period. thedude Mon, 25 Aug 2008 15:19:12 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/what_does_the_bible_say_about_wine 501142
