You can't physically change the cell's alignment - you can change it's height and width perimeters, but not change the degree of the cell. You can change the alignment of the contents within the cell, but not actually the cell.

You've got the text there at 45', so I'm not sure what you need to do, actually? =D

Heyyy's y'all =D

Thankyou :]

It's been a good day. :)

And thanks very much for the banner, Xepha =D

Shattered Ribbon - TYFTVenom's a great song. =D

I'm currently listening to Panic! At the Disco - I Write Sins Not Tragedies (listen: http://www.deezer.com/?urlIdSong=634).

Violent crime amongst teenagers in Britain really is hyped up. The media have discovered the phrase "gang culture" and leeched to it like it's the Bible. There are millions of children in the UK, and if just one kid dies a month, then that's pretty good, right?

Of course, it's not ideal. And there are areas around the UK - in London, in Manchester, in Liverpool - where gun crime is a little more prevalent. But nevertheless, according to the Home Office, gun crime accounts for less than 0.5% of all crime; in 2005-2006, the risk of being a victim of crime was 23% (the lowest since records began in 1981).

The idea that children are going around carrying knives and guns is, in my mind, absurd. There are some more violent types that I know, but even they don't carry around knives. That's not to say it doesn't exist - Rhys' murder proved to the contrary - but there is, in most areas, no "gang culture" at all. Have you yourself actually ever seen a kid run around with a knive? It just doesn't happen.

With Rhys' murder, it was a case of both mistaken identity and being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was an innocent victim. But where gangs do exist, they only bear arms to protect themselves, not to go out and attack others.

We do need to do something about that in the problem areas; stepping up police patrols (both officers and community support officers) is an obvious thing to do, but also sending the police into schools to educate must be a priority (I live in a low-crime area, but the only police officer we've had in school to talk to us is to talk about 'nicking a Mars bar'. However, I'll admit the police are very visible; my school is on multi-sites, with various site entrances, and police officers are freely able to walk in at any time and walk around at breaks, talking to students; when they're not here during breaks, they're on bikes patrolling the town.).

It's not as bad as it's hyped up to be, especially if you're of a Daily Mail persuasion. The government is already doing plenty - the introduction of Police CSO's has worked really well, and they are actively stopping the gun trade in the UK.

Thanks for finding it originally. Since a legal version and information has been found, we've now posted it (with credit to that source).

That's the same demo file as the (legal) one offered by GamersHell (it has the same filesize). :)

It's obviously a very pressing issue (one that, in the West, only really got light when two were killed). Thankfully, I saw this morning that the hostage situation is coming to an end.

Despite the good news, the terrorists have won; it's evident that hostages really are effective ways of getting what you want. At the end of the year, South Korea will withdraw it's 200 troops, and ban Christian missionary work in Afghanistan by it's nationals. The latter helps combat poverty; without them, the country can't possibly survive.

As for 'how do I feel', I feel like I hope most people do; hostages really aren't the right way to end a situation.

I wasn't online yesterday, but I don't think it's been down yet. ;)

Stephi, I believe that having a page up isn't possible (you'll get an error default to your browser that says it can't connect). If we were able to put up an error message (that we've created, with links etc.) then we might as well keep the whole site up ;) Unfortunately, it's not possible - we can't put up custom pages (nor edit the site) during the move.

There's a question I didn't think I'd ever be asked. o.O

Right-hand; index finger on left key, middle finger on the scroller. When I need to use the right key, I just move the middle finger across. :)

Hey :)

That's a bit annoying; things like that can happen with BBCode (as it simply replaces HTML). Ian'll look into it.

I'd also suggest that you might want to read over this topic, which deals with signatures. Your black spoiler - whilst a good idea - can be construed as a little obtrusive. Perhaps it might be better on a 'Word Games' topic, or somewhere similar? Or perhaps try and encode your message in another way - Pig Latin, for instance? :P

The storyline was lame in the first one, too, but I still loved it :P It's not premiered in Britain yet, but I'll get my mitts on it soon =D

Saw some clips in an interview Zac Efron (love him. *nods*) gave to Rolling Stone, looks good. All bouncy. :)

I believe you can get them via the Toy Shop on Usukicon day, and possibly through random events. :)

Someone might want to give their opinion on a Neopets colour, for example, and not really want to go registering on the forums (and handing over their email address, etc.) - yet that doesn't meant they shouldn't have the chance to give that opinion.

We're opening it on just the Neopets news to make it easier for guests to post without the hassle of resgistering and logging in. :)

Hello forum members,

We're now allowing guests to post replies to our Neopets News forum. This may lead to an increase in 'spammy' posts - if you spot anything, please alert a moderator or file a report. We'll check as soon as possible.

We're hoping that the test run of this scheme leads to an increase in Neopets news discussion, and integrate our guests a little more into the site.

If you have any further suggestions, contact the Content department here.

In addition, the staff would like to point out that some scheduled forums maintenance is due to take place over a few hours in the next few days (exact date/time to be confirmed). At this time, the forums are likely to be turned offline for a period.

Many thanks,

The Daily Neopets Staff
