Hi everyone, I am new here on this forum but have been on the paint.net forum for a few months and have been using PDN ( The greatest piece of software ever ) for approx 6 months maybe longer, time flies when you are having fun. A little bit about me. I am 39 years old and was born in England I emigrated to New Zealand 6 years ago and love it here. Apart from PDN my hobbies include mountain biking, gaming (PS3) mainly FPS (Killzone 2 and 3 and soon BF3 ) and films ( mainly sci-fi but not limited to ) Fav director Quentin Tarantino and some of my fav films in no particular order Pulp fiction, True grit (new version) , The Butterfly effect , Star Trek ( new one ) District 9 Fav TV shows Lost, Game of thrones , Breaking bad, Dexter and Stargate universe ( shame it got canceled)  Fav music Pink Floyd ( saw them live in Rotterdam in the early 90's)  Black Sabbath , Kate Bush , Metallica , Pearl jam and The Black heart procession. Please hold none of the above against me  |

Hi Minners71.
Welcome to the Forum. I'm not the newest one anymore! LOL
I LOVE Lost too. Have the entire series on DVD and have to watch from start to finish at least once a year. I'm not a big fan of the bands you like, I"m more of a 70's music kind of gal. LOL Yeah, I even like Disco.
The people here are just great. I'm sure you'll love it here. I'm looking forward to seeing some of your work.

Hi venicet,
Yeah Lost was a great show the last couple of seasons seemed a little disjointed from the rest but still up there with the best. I have just opened up my gallery.

Hi chito and barbieq ( can't stop making shiny things now ) ;D, any idea why my avatar is so big, originally I had it at 100x100 and it was fine then when I came back later it had quadrupled in size. I then changed it to 50x50 but it made no difference.  |

Hello! Welcome to the forum!
I think the problem lies with Photobucket. I use their service and they do not do a good job of changing size when you upload a new version. My suggestion is to resize it to 100x100, and then rename the file to a different name. When you upload to PB, use the newly renamed file instead. See if that solve the issue.

Hi blackpenny and Sargon III ( bit of a chess master are we ? ) My sig is still a WIP I think. Not really, Sargon is a name of an old Assyrian king ( I believe the first known king in history, and it is not my name BTW  , may be they used same name accidentally for the game, chess. |

Black Sabbath , Kate Bush , Metallica , Pearl jam and The Black heart procession.
