Question
« on: October 24, 2006, 02:24:22 PM »
When you go to click on a floatie, sometimes that message "image is copyrighted" comes up.  Why?  Aren't we supposed to click on the floatie for karma/curse points?  Scratching head here.   [hall_huh]

"You askin' me to give up something I like?"

If you are holding down the left mouse button and dragging the mouse over a forum image, which could very easily happen inadvertently when trying to click a floatie, it will set off the warning.

Hmmm...I guess that's what I'm doing.  Thanks for the clarification.   [hall_wink]

What are these floating Bats about?

I saw some floating bats and thought they might be a game to collect karma curses or cures but when clicking on the bat(s), nothing happens.  So what's the deal with those?  Just Halloween decorations?   [confused_ani]

Exactly. Bats are haunting the Current Talk board today - and different other things will haunt other forum pages through Halloween.  [hall2_wink]  None of them will be clickable (the mouse cursor doesn't change when placed over them) for Karma points because a completely different Javascript runs them from the one that runs the Karma floaties.

Oh Ok!  LOL Thought I was going to improve on my score, which sucks right now, but I'll just have to live with it. ;)

I just gave you a curse to start you on your way to a better Karma.  [hall2_grin]

Latest floaties

LOVE the new, daily floaties, but are we supposed to be able to click on them for karma/curses?  Whenever I click on them nothing happens.  Maybe they're just there for entertainment?   [hall2_wink]

I merged your question into this topic (after moving it to this board), which has your answer.   [hall2_wink]

Well, they often say that the greatest journeys begin with but a single step - or in this case, two clicks of the mouse.  [hall2_wink]
