Perceptor arrived today!
(Updated collection thread.)

There's a lot of ROTF and HFTD figures at Toys'R'Us at the moment.
Deluxes are still £4.97.

A LOT of HA Jazz, too!

Also, just got my £20 Amazon UK voucher from LoveFilm!
(Cheers again, Waspshot.)
Now, what to buy..?

I can see the rifle va'al... :lol:

feh.
i haven't been in a TF-selling shop for ages, even though I have a bit of money, and also, idunno...there's some spark that isn't quite there at the moment. Hoping movie trilogy might bring some of that back

And yes, it does seem like the time has come, and Nova is leaving...

you will be missed, my friend.

there's been a redesign (though that's kinda obvious :lol:

)
it's not quite finished yet, and there will be some more updates at various points, but seibertron's been hard at work the past few days, the old design had been around for a few years now. If you don't like it, trust me, it'll grow on you. Although there are some things which are somewhat annoying...
But you gotta love the optimus and megatron to the sides

...what Optimus and Megatron?

where?

sounds stupid, but try zooming out? (it might go a bit funny but if you find the right zoom level for it to show properly then...)
if that doesn't work it might be your screen, apparently it only works if you have a high enough resolution.

oh you have to have a huge and/or square screen...

News Credits: 6188 · by **Va'al** » Fri Dec 02, 2011 1:02 pm

Oh yeah..!

That's kinda cool.

Shame my maximum resolution is 1280xsomething.
And no, I cannot follow Seibertron's advice and go buy a 'better' computer.

Don't talk about it roddy, I hate it

News Credits: 3 · by **ArmadaPrime** » Fri Dec 02, 2011 1:28 pm

not a fan of the new youtube either really. but tbh, i not much has changed bar the homepage.
and va'al, i'm pretty sure he didn't go as far as telling us to buy better computers, just that it would only work on some...

This is what I was referring to.

Find your monitor settings, it should say there.

Do you use Windows, Mac or Linux?

On another note: Why did no-one tell me Cyclonus is AMAZING?!
I love this figure! I think he'll have to compete with Grimlock for desk-place.

Ok, so if you go to the Control Panel (or whatever they call it now that everything had been 'upgraded' :grin:

), you should find the Appearance and Personalization (Vista) > Personalization > Display settings > Resolution.

Where was that?
Forgive me for saing it seems a little bit of a...rude thing to say, really. Quite out of character...

It's in the Seibertron.com Problem Reporting Thread.

I've never dealt with the owner before, but he does seem like a nice guy (and come on, he built this, he keeps it going just for us!).
I'm guessing frustration from work not being appreciated and tiredness also come into play.

It does, however, seem to fit in nicely with the stereotype of software/web designers. :grin:

Just for us and the advertising revenue. Seibertron may be a fantastic resource, but at the end of the day it is also a business.
