Draco's Lounge [Chat thread]

[Hollister]

I thought of that, Hollie, but the only problem I have is that when I save siggies as attachments, they come out as thumbnails and very small. I don't know how to make stuff come out full size on here. Maybe there's something I'm missing. Does anyone have any idea? Everyone seems to be able to do this but me, for some strange reason.

Well, Do you have photobucket?
If so, then it's the 3rd code under the pic.

If you don't have photobucket, it's easier, then you don't have to keep doing small thumbnails =)
It's just a folder where you can upload pics from your pc and use them on MySpace and in other forums and such =D

Thanks so much, Hollie, I tried it and it worked! I do have Photobucket and now I know the secret! (Smacks head).

Maybe I'll think about opening a shop, after I get a bit more experience! I'm still learning, but I'm getting there!

I think making graphics looks fun, I liked graphics classes at school, but I don't have a decent program to make them on, unless anyone knows anyway of making good ones on paint

[Slytherin Fox]

I think Hollie probably knows a lot more about it than I do! It is fun, I don't use paint to make them, but there are many, many programs on the internet that you can download and use for FREE! I have two different ones that I'm working with right now. You can do shading and stuff with them, but I'm not sure how to do it yet. I basically am just cutting and pasting. Hollie's the real expert, though!

If you would like a link to one of the programs I use, just PM me and I'll give it to ya!

[*fairydust04*]

Ooh thanks, I haven't got time to even attempt to make anything now with school work and everything, but I may PM you in the future if I've got some spare time and want to do a bit of experimenting

As for the event, can we link it in with Christmas in any way. It would be fun to have some sort of Draco christmas party thread, maybe with party games etc. following on from the 100 gifts. If we haven't got time to plan something before christmas that's fine, it's just an idea

[Slytherin Fox]

I like that idea, too! I think it would be very appropriate for this time of year!

[tomfeltonsgf]

I'm thinking, but let me know if you guys come up with anything!

[Slytherin Fox]

I like the idea of various games. Maybe we could have a graphics grab bag, or something like that, little gifts everyone could pick and choose, and whoever wanted to contribute to that could. How about Draco related drabbles or poetry, as well?

Just throwing out some ideas!

[tomfeltonsgf]

That would be really cute.

If anyone was interested in making graphics.

[Little Miss Sunshine]

jeez! sorry I haven't been active in here! I've been so busy lately! I really wish I wasn't!

[Slytherin Fox]

I could contribute some graphics. Whatever you guys want to do is cool with me!

[Little Miss Sunshine]

I can't make graphics so count me out! lmao.

[Slytherin Fox]

We've got to try to come up with things everyone can do. What ideas do you guys have?

[dracosmine**]

Yeah, i cant do graphics either. (i dont know what this is about though ll) goes and check!!

[Eerised]

Ugh. I'm sorry I haven't been here for so long. I've been busy. I am so sorry.

Yeah, I suck at graphics. I'm a fanfiction person myself. That's my strength really. If I could make graphics I would in a heartbeat-- it would be full of Draco art! hehe. But alas, I suck and thus... I have nothing to contribute in that respect.

If there is anything else I can contribute then I will definitely do it! Especially if it's fanfiction based.

Yup.

[Hollister]

Hey Guys!
Errmm .. I like the idea for a xmas thread. But I think we should get the discussions more active first please.
Cheers

The best programs for graphics, I think, are Photoshop and Paintshop Pro.
I don't really know how to use Photoshop, but I know how to use Paintshop Pro. That's what I use =)

[tomfeltonsgf]

23 days to Christmas!

And dodgeball is over. Loved that gamee!

[dracosmine**]

^^^^ me too. i was sooooooo addicted to it when i was bored earlier on. Now we have to wait for round 2 of some game. Cant wait!!

[Slytherin Fox]

Yeah, it seems really strange now that it's gone!

Well, I hope either Draco or Tom (or both!) make it to the next round!

[*fairydust04*]

Yeh it would be gutting if they didn't get through. It seems like I haven't been on here for a while. How is everyone?

[Slytherin Fox]

Sadly, neither made it to the next round. The only person who made it from any of my FCs is Remus Lupin, so I'm gonna go with him all the way. (I would have rather it were Draco!)

[Hollister]

OMG WE DIDN'T MAKE IT?! NOT EVEN TOM? *Dies*

Anyway How is eveyone? =D

[Slytherin Fox]

I'm great, Hollie, how are you?

Yes, isn't it too sad? (sobs). I can't believe it!
