I got myself a 10. The row with blues and greens really was trouble for me, though, so I think that may have been luck. Same here with that, it's a little funky when you're looking at a hue transition between blue and green and you see things that don't make sense.

I don't really have any problems anymore, per-se. The setup I'm working with as described in my last post does fine for me. I personally don't prefer using browsers such as IE or Firefox. I prefer Chrome, and Messenger doesn't recognize Chrome as my primary browser, leading to it always opening in IE. In addition to that, MSN used to be a lot better than it is these days. Nowadays, you have to visit a webpage to change your display name. Something you used to be able to do inside the vanilla client a while back. They removed the feature to force you to use their website - and being that it forcefully uses IE instead of a half-decent browser, I refuse to put up with it. The same issue with it opening IE is present when I wish to check my mail from the MSN client, making MSN just about entirely useless to me, as most all of my remotely sensible friends stopped using MSN years ago in favor of Skype. Now, as for the unsubscribing to newsletters - from my understanding, you're not actually unsubscribing unless you directly visit the webpage of the sender, log into your account with them, and untick a box about emails - depending on who it's with. I don't really feel motivated to do this for multiple, especially when some of them I never even signed up for, and they've just stuck me on their newsletter list just because they had my email - without giving me a way to unsubscribe to it. DAZ 3D's weekly newsletter is an example of this. I never asked for them to email me weekly. Like I also said, I'm sure hotmail has it's own way of handling this, there's likely some doodad that allows you to hide or relocate emails by sender, or something. That's what you're implying, at least. Admittedly your post was a little hard to understand. Either way, Gmail does a fine job of handling anything I don't want. Like you said about hotmail, I can direct incoming mail into specific folders too. It's all handled with simple filters where I can decide exactly what's done with the email when I receive it. Move it to a folder, archive it, delete it, redirect it, anything I really want. Another feature of Gmail that I like that I didn't mention before is the "threaded" conversations. It's a matter of preference, but I appreciate it as when I do get multiple emails from a single source, they all go into the same thread, keeping my inbox more easily sorted. There's less clutter, because repeat emails from say, Twitter, all end up in the same place by default. The short answer: I use both. Hotmail is where I have all of the spam email sent to, and Gmail is where I have it filtered out. Is it efficient? Probably not. If I had much of a choice in the matter I'd exclusively use Gmail. Does it work? You bet.

Hi! We're both named after materials found deep in the earth. Nifty! x3

Thankadoodles! :3 Thanks for the welcome! Like I said earlier, I don't really quite know if/when I'll get into the RP side of things here, but there's probably a pretty good chance it'll happen sometime.

I don't know, really! I might dip into the RP stuff later on, but for now I'm not entirely sure of myself in that regard. I'm alright at roleplay, it's just a matter of the role I'm playing, you see. x3 So far I've been beepbopping about the various sights, and I'm liking things so far. Thanks for the enthusiastic welcome.

I use a mixture, these days. It used to be that I exclusively used Microsoft Live's email (It's just hotmail, I don't really know if there's any difference) and it works fine for me, but I had two or three overall problems with their service. 1. Like any email address, over the years the account became flooded with a lot of stuff I don't particularly care for anymore. (I don't need your weekly newsletters, DAZ 3D.) - Granted, that's not their fault. 2. Their website is abnormally slow and clunky, forcing me to go through two links to reach my inbox, and taking a little longer than I was happy with, since I don't tend to like checking my email to begin with. 3. Windows Live Messenger (MSN messenger) only opens email notifications in Internet Explorer. I do not use Internet Explorer. I hate it. Which led me to start using Gmail's service instead, using one of my domain names in replacement of @gmail.com. For me, Gmail loads faster (One click from my browser of choice - chrome - and I'm in my inbox), and it's different, yes, but not hard to get used to. One feature in particular that I love is the inbox filter - it's like a spam filter, but you get to tell it to directly look for specific lines of text in the body or header of messages you get, and then automatically archive, delete, or send them to the spam folder. That last feature there is pretty awesome, because using that, I've set up my @live.com email to redirect to my Gmail inbox, which filters and deletes the stuff that was there before that I couldn't be bothered to clean up. This way, I still get my email from hotmail, without getting the spam from hotmail. Granted, I'm sure hotmail has a similar feature to that, but I'd never run across it through the years, and it was easy to find with Gmail. As for Messenger, I don't really need to worry about those email notifications, because popping open my Gmail account in chrome is so easy that I just check it daily. I turned those notifications off.

I actually quite like this! The song is put together nicely, and while it may or may not be unintended, it does give off a nice retro gaming vibe.

Ooh, I see some good talent in there! Thanks for the welcome. :3

Thank you all, that was pretty fast. x3

About Myself: This is my first time being a part of the "pony community" online. I've been a fan of the show since the first season, but that's all it's ever really been to me, a show. Recently - out of boredom - I came up with my own character, fiddled with that pony creator doodad to make at least a rudimentary representation of it, and now here I am. I'm not much of an artist, but I am a fairly decent musician/producer with over 200 songs under the belt (I'll include links to two of my works just to share), a hobbyist programmer specializing in C# and Java, and a former writer. I don't know how often I'll be around, if at all. It really depends on whether or not you guys as a community win me over. I'm not the most outgoing person, making friends isn't easy for me, so coming up to a large group of individuals I only share one minor trait in common with is - to me - fairly intimidating. Beside that, I'm a fairly level-headed and logical person. I'm not here to pick fights or stir up trouble. If anything, I'd like to meet people and make friends. If this little intro post sounds a little melancholy, it's mostly because I have no idea what I'm doing right now with this. I'm terrible with introductions. x3 How I found Canterlot.com: Through the community links section found on the MLP wikia. How I became a fan of MLP:FiM: The show came out, the pony fandom began, and I eventually wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I watched the show and liked it, but never really felt like bothering with much more. My favourite main cast pony/s: Fluttershy I suppose that's all. Here's those links to those two songs, as promised. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/35087063/aud/Meaning%20Of.mp3 https://dl.dropbox.com/u/35087063/aud/Tollan.mp3 (Pasted as plaintext to prove I'm not redirecting to some malicious URL.) Oh, hey! The forum automatically stuck media tags on there! Neat.
