Title: Question
Post by: BuzzH 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]

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]
Title: What are these floating Bats about?
Post by: Jackie on October 24, 2006, 06:57:19 PM: 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]

Title: Latest floaties
Post by: BuzzH on October 25, 2006, 03:21:40 PM: 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]
