Hey kids! I'm Margie! <3 I was actually just posted a link back, and figured hey, why not join. I usually like graphics and such communities, and obviously HP. I like a ton of other things, like I'm in a wide variety of fandoms of things. Sometimes, I feel I know way, way, way too much about HP things. I'm 25 (and I'm forever staying that age), and I'm from Wisconsin, USA. I actually just to graphics for my own benefit. I'm actually a History major at my university (I had health issues for a few years, so I went back to college late. >>) I've been role playing for 14 years straight now, so I do a lot of writing too. I've been on proboards sites for probably...oh, 13 years but, lol coding and I have a like/really hate relationship. Umm...erm, what else? Oh, for my graphics, I've been using cs4 for a couple of years, I think but, I haven't done many graphics lately, so I feel like my skills are slipping =/ but, yeah. I also, for some reason, really dislike this new version of proboards. I don't know why, I just find it gross but, that could be because I really hate change. >> Um...I'm also on tumblr, so if any of you ever want to follow me, go right ahead! here it is! I reblog a lot of fandom things, stuff that I really like or things looks amazing, food, and it doubles as my personal blog so, at times I post things about me too.
Heya I am Lee but you can call me Aro (long story about the Aro name anyways). Uhm i'll just say I live in Canada froze my butt off during winter (not literally but you know XD) I do graphics design as well. I use cs5 but I only just got it recently and its being uterly messed up since now it keeps asking me for my serial number when I already put it in. I like making gifs in things my most recent one was this www.pictureshack.us/images/91819_lucinda.gif for a narnia site i had to upload it on a diff host since it was too big but hey I bet you will still be good at it
Hi! Oh, I freeze in winter too, although this winter has been really bi-polar for me. Actually, I forgot to say this in my little blurg but, I'm hoping for someone to post a really easy to follow but, also good gif tutorial. I'm really picky about what tuts I choose to try out but, making gifs is one of the things I like really want to learn but, I have to wait for this school term to be over. I get some of the basic steps for it, it's just a matter of getting it all together, and then getting a better feel for coloring.
Welcome, Margie. I'm Aura or Raven whichever you like to call me. Winter was particularly hot for me and I live in New Jersey. Spring was a mess with snow. I look forward to seeing your graphics.
Hmm I might be able to make a tut for you depending if I can even write it during my mess of school and work and sites and other family stuff. And aura you never told me you lived in New Jersey e.e... Meh either way I would love to help get you started on gifs
Hi Aura! & I'm in the process of making up a gallery atm, so I'm trying to decide what to post and what not too! Also, Aro, thanks for any help in advance! No rush on the tut though, I really won't have the time to sit down and mess around with stuff until summer!
Hey Margie! Welcome! Its wonderful to have you here. I dislike the newer version of proboards too, I feel like alot of the codes that were being developed for the previous version do not work in V5, and think its sort of gone back to basics. Also the panels over complicated, where i loved the simplicity of the old proboards panels. Im sure though by december this will all have been developed
Yeah I didn't like it either I still kinda don't like it since all the stuff I coded for the previous version didn't work somehow they would only work on this version if you put in a certain code >.< sadly I do not have that code when I converted so that turned into a minor problem for me.
You never asked, Aro. I saw your gallery and nice work. I love your text placements. Text is the bane of my existence. I do like the old ProBoards. Sometimes, the new one can be annoying.
Welcome to Diagon Alley, a Harry Potter themed graphics, coding, and writing community. We are very friendly and we all love to make friends. We mainly focus on graphics which is our reason for having graphic galleries but as you see we do not have any other galleries? Why do you ask? Our reason is because we want to be different. We want to be an all resource site but not an all resource site with all resource galleries. It is not much of a problem because you can still earn promotions by showing what you have done in your challenges and we can promote you by what you have. We hope you enjoy it here at Diagon Alley and have the best of fun!
