Elections!

[MrWhereItsAt]

This is a zipfile containing a file for use in DOS called gifcvt32.exe.

You need to put it into a directory along with any .bmp files you want to change into .gif.

Then you type (in DOS)

gifcvt32 *.bmp

and it turns all files that are .bmp into .gif.

Then you can post them! Please try this - don't give upo yet!

I just figured out that i made a mistake with the dates: 27th is thursday, not friday; 30th is sunday, not monday. Should I have them still be between those days or move it up a day so it goes over the weekend and ends on the 1st?

I recommend that the election poll be posted on Thursday the 27th and be set for 3 days. That will give me a chance to get the latest game file to the new Cabinet and gets them off to a good start Monday July 1st.

Which days are you going to be gone? I remember that there was some part of the election process I was going to do for you.

123john321 - Just save the Paint file as a .jpg format! You seem to be doing everything else correctly. At the bottom of the "save as" screen is a box that says "save as type". At the right of that box is a scroll arrow. When you click on it, it will offer several file formats. Choose "JPEG File Interchange Format [*.jpg, *.jpeg]". Your file will then be saved in jpg format and you can post the image.

Oh great cavebear, I would like if you read this quote to understand why it ain't working....

Originally posted by 123john321 here the main reason why it would work........ YOU CAN'T GET THE "Graphic Interchange format (*.gif)/JPEG file interchange format (*.jpg, *.jpeg)" crap........ oh well

And Mr. WIA, here how its working.....

it ain't...... like I said, oh well....... (the problem is that as soon as it comes, the next second goes..........)

Therein lies the problem...

If MSPaint does not save as *.gif (some versions don't), see if you have any other graphics softwares. MS Imaging might be able to do it.

The pigeons know!

And my doggies (they have grown a little... )

about the image problem
* try MSpaint--> SAve as--> *.gif or *.jpeg
* try Microsoft Photo editor(if the image is saved as bmp, rightclick when holding down the shift key --> choose the option "open with"(don't know what the english version says)--> chose "PHOTOED" and then you can save the image as gif/jpeg.
* ...If I can think of more progs they automaticaly dump in a windows-version...I'll let you know...
