Have A Question? V2

[Jibran]

I have a question.

Some members have a flag with a skull in it instead of having their country's flag, right?

Well, what does that mean?

I guess that's the pirate flag.

Did I missed this years GTAForums Awards? Or it will happen soon?

Apparently, we'll see them later this Spring. I remember that the 2009 awards finished completely only somewhere in May 2010. Staff usually starts the event somewhere between January - February. Apparently the awards page is still unchanged since the 2010 awards, so who knows when we'll be seeing them. Plus, I think you mean the 2011 awards. The 2012 awards should happen in 2013 and so on.

 

I also found this post about them, by Girish, which is most probably the only staff post related to this subject.

 

 

They'll start whenever we have the time to do them. And when we do, we'll announce it.

 

So, in conclusion, the only thing we can do now is to wait.

As Greenline said, it's the pirate flag. It doesn't mean anything at all, it's just a joke flag, like some others.

 

- "Pirate"

- "Gay Pride"

- "Anarchist"

- "Mars"

- "Gadsden"

 

All these are selectable and can be found at the bottom of the flag list in your profile at "Flag"

Where can I get a full list of China's exports and imports? The more modern it is, the better.

Surfed the web for ages for it.

This breaks it down pretty good.

Thanks it helped.

this'll sound stupid but how do i get an avatar (not the ones frome here) to work? whenever i try i never works it always comes up with the broken image thing

[Miro]

The avatar has to be 64x64 pixels otherwise it won't work. If you want a special one, you might wanna request one here.

It will, it will be resized.

thanks for the help but when i put the link in thats when it goes wrong

[Miro]

Maybe it's the place it's hosted from that has some kind of problem? Try linking me to that avatar you wanna use.

You are obviously using the wrong link. It must have the file extension at the end.

I changed the avatar just now.

Check if you've added

 

http://

 

before the link.

[Miro]

Apparently the image doesn't show up even after entering it. I right-clicked it, and copy-pasted the link of it in the URL field.

It seems like one of the first problems is that you use "http//" twice. Though, even after correcting that, I got led to a site where the image still didn't show up, and that site would be this. Why not simply try to upload it at imgur?

[shitposter]

took a few tries but got there in the end thanks guys

Upload it to an image sharing site such as Imgur, then use the link provided below 'BBCode (message boards & forums)' or make sure that at the end of the link, there is a .jpg, .png, .gif, etc.

 

Also, get your signature enabled here.

Just for the sake of clarity, you don't want the BBCode option for an avatar. You just want the direct link one. BBCode is for sigs and posting images.

sh*t, sorry.

 

Yeah, you wanna use Link (email & IM). I said the other one because I'm used to it for filling requests.

Well, what does that mean?

They didn't buy their games. They prefer to use warez/stolen games.

 

It can be difficult to show Sarcasm in print.

 

wolfy boy and any future question:

http://imageshack.us/ has a CHOICE of size for Avatars when you upload your image.

If you use a website image copy to your computer and then upload it to http://imageshack.us/

It tells you which code to use (copy/paste).

Not necessarily. Some use it just because it looks good to them.

Any swelling associated with the problem you have? Might wanna check it out with a doctor, just to rule out anything bad like DVT or anything like that. My assumption here though is worms. But then again I'm not a medical student or a doctor, so yeah.

That happens to me as well, usually after I've did some heavy exercise. I always thought it was the muscle acting up in my leg as a result of exercise, sports etc... Google tells me it's to do with dehydration but then again Google isn't a doctor, nor is anyone here.

[Slamman]

Blood clot, see a specialist ASAP, blood is moving close to the skin surface, other then that, maybe a muscle (of love), but I would be concerned. Even a bump you find could lead to cancer prognosis!?!??

 

My question is if anyone has found a Hot-Key list for Windows 8, online, or an application that can tell me what my Hard Drive speeds are?

I find this info lacks on the tech spotters I've used in the past, and HDD manufacturers are not always prone to printing speeds on their labels

I ordered a book on Amazon and the past few days went to the "track package" to see if it has been sent and it says Not shipped yet. Then yesterday I checked and the book had disappeared. So I can't track it and according to the site I didn't even purchase it. Has this ever happened to anyone, why did it, will they still send it to me? What the f*ck?

Haven't you received an email from them after you made the purchase? You can use that to contact their customer support and seek clarification.

If you are getting this whilst sitting down it sounds as if one of the blood vessels in your leg is partially occluded by the surrounding tissue/muscle.

 

If you are getting this whilst standing then it could be something else from dehydration to a blood clot. Talk to your doctor just to be on the safe side, and do keep an eye on it.

 

I have to say I do have this happen to me after I sit down after long walks but it then clears itself up quickly.

[Dingdongs]

Slamman, don't scare him for no reason. It's likely not a blood clot. Try to drink 3 more bottles per water a day than you normally do and see what happens in a week. If that doesn't do anything go to your doctor.

Medical advice has no place on a Web site where most of the Members are teenagers.

The only 'safe' advice for any problem beyond popping a pimple is Go See A Medic.

Could be nerves twitching. I get it in my limbs occasionally. It feels funny but never hurts.

 

Dehydration may be part of it.

Probably the best advice, though.

They didn't send me an email either.
