Can this be fixed or is a nic change in order?

Published on April 29, 2003 By citats In WinCustomize Talk

A user recently let me know that my nic messes up the file... at first I did not understand what the heck he ment then I realized that all of my Dashboard skins have broken previews (thumb nail enlarged image)

as you can see the example here. my § is shown as %A7 and a dead preview image.
I don't want to change my nic to fix the images... I would have taken Static originally but even tho I was a fairly early Wincusto user it was already taken. *sigh*

My guess is a name change is in order...perhaps SStatic would be 'similar' [if available]...

Why not tack a lucky number onto the end of "Static"...?
Problem solved....

I think SStatic is available.
Strangely, 'static' is quite a bit later than your ID number...

UM... specialized characters have caused a lot of troubles in the communities that post links in the site I help moderate. They have actually crashed some communities... (MSN ones)

PS... how is that new little baby doing?

Well.... I suppose I could do what I have done on some other sites.... citatS
Jafo do you know if this will correct and apply to skins that have already been uploaded?

@ is not a 'special character' and most people put the 'a' sound in, mentally.

I would not have known. three weeks?

In most communities a nic change changes everything, but I am not 'involved' with a lot of graphic communities. One time someone was experimenting with his nic, and I watched while he did it. I was looking at his skin at the time. But if you have really old skins, I don't know if that would be universal.

Well I just would not want the nic change to be in vain. If it was not retroactive then there wouldn't be much point to it. I would like to stick with something as close to Static as possible.
I would continue to sign everything...

If you changed it, and it didn't work, you could change it back.
