I've heard of people having this problem on slower/older GPUs/CPUs and on netbooks. Is your system a little dated? There's a lot being displayed the page, regardless of the amount actually shown, so a browser would lag trying to render all of it as you scroll. This is an issue that should be fixed in time as dirk tweaks the code.

I have a feeling the RTE will be fixed very soon. With plenty of the old features ST6 had. The reason this version of ST doesn't allow html is because the common user who has no idea how to use html can drastically break the layout of the forums or other pages.

Thanks for the help, Jason.

Do you have the BAT installed, DCMetro? It's from using Mental Ray renderer and using a MR Physical Sky map for the environment background. If you do, hit 8 on your keyboard and change the black color to RGB(65,65,65).

We have what's called an "Omnibus (Of Knowledge)" and it will be up shortly. There are a number of BATing tutorials in there. I agree, though, that a lot of resources people post go unnoticed by the majority of the community. It would be a fun project to gather everything and categorize it. I remember Jasoncw having something similar somewhere, but I don't recall where. On another note, i'm toying around with 3ds max/the BAT. I'm doing a building in Minneapolis. I started working on the cylindrical part (this is an older pic) and wonder to myself: is there an easier way? Right now i'm doing it barbarically and placing everything mostly by hand and measurements with objects. From the people who've done cylindrical elements on buildings (including windows), what's the best way of going about it? I would really appreciate any help. Here's the actual building.

The folks at the Capital SimCity forum have been working on a city builder. The latest updates show what looks like a lot editor for the game. It's all in Spanish, so a translator may be required. Have fun and flip through the 20+ pages and check out the pictures.

Oh, this is exciting.. More fun things to do when you're bored (yeah right) on Simtropolis.

Congratulations, Benedict! A lot of people found your list very useful, thanks! Liv, even without coffee, you still managed to remain totally awesome. You go, gurl.

I say we keep it like this. Make's things less boring.

And they all live in the woodsen.

Hi! You can use Photobucket.com to host your images, so they can appear bigger on the forums. Just paste the "Direct Link" right into the post and it will parse the image and it will be displayed. No need to resize, it will do that for you. http://photobucket.com/ This way, you don't have to upload all of your images as an attachment.

I don't think the Current Events forum is at all limited to just politics. It could be anything. Anything current and an event. The Off Topic is generally just an off topic board. Posts don't tend to last very long if they're way off topic and uninteresting to the members here.

Do you have ad block plus or the element hider?

The homepage code must be having issues with storing/getting cookies. I'm sure this will be fixed shortly. For the record, it works for me, and I am on firefox rc 2.
