Done

[Tea_Bag]

there was a thread similar to this done before, but a little outdated I'd say. problem is, this won't be stickied. would be nice though as you get so tired of asking the same questions.

I suppose we could just add the important stuff into signatures but I'm not overly fond of pimping my signature. I'll try it out for a while.
I should really be using opera's note feature to have a quick way of pasting stuff.

Ah, it's not so bad, but I'll add one of every smiley just for good measure. Apparently there's a limit of 15 images.

Well some people are using this so it seems to be working well. Just need to keep it bumped up on the first page

[Monotype]

*ahem* nudge *cough, cough*

[Fluffy88]

Bless you

[Tar.Aldarion]

Ask a mod to sticky this.

[Monotype]

Stick it in a new thread, Obsidiann.

Updated version of Fluffy's script. Copy the text in the code block and save it as a bookmark.

PHP Code:

javascript:var before = '[TABLE][B]Item[/B]|[B]Price[/B]'; var after = '[/TABLE]';var format='{itm_quantity}[URL="{itm_url}"]{itm_name}[/URL]|{itm_price}';var debug = false;function loadScript( url ){if ( document.getElementById( "basket_parser" ) == null ){var script = document.createElement( "script" );script.setAttribute( "id", "basket_parser" );script.setAttribute( "type", "text/javascript" );script.setAttribute( "src", url   "?"   Math.pow( new Date().getMonth(), 2 )   Math.pow( new Date().getDate(), 3 ) );document.getElementsByTagName( "head" )[0].appendChild( script );setTimeout( "loadScript('"   url   "')", 200 );log( "Started loading script: "   url );}else if ( typeof( init_script ) != 'undefined' ){log( "Loaded." );init_script();}else{setTimeout( "loadScript('"   url   "')", 200 );log( "loading ..." );}}function log( string ){if ( debug ){document.body.appendChild( document.createTextNode( string ) );document.body.appendChild( document.createElement( "br" ) );}}loadScript( "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19453211/basket_parser.js" );void( 0 ); 


Also if anyone can think of other things that could be added to the post let me know and I'll bother Solitaire to update it. (Not being able to edit the post after a couple of days is a pain )

Not that it's extremely urgent, but if you were changing anything else, it might be good to add a small note at the end as to why you'd pay by bank transfer. If I was filling out that form, I'd probably select credit card as it would be my preference, but if I thought I could save a fair bit of money, I'd extend to bank transfer.

Right, I'm going to be a grump and say the length of the questions interfere with me extracting the relevant information from posters who use this.

I suggest a re-jig to the following format:

Budget :

Purpose:

Windows:

Monitor:


etc.....


Should be straight forward enough. I would also suggest that monitor size/resolution is scrapped and incorporated into one. Overclocking should also be scrapped - should be mentioned in purpose.
