What do you mean by a thanks button - do you mean one of the icons like a smilie :) or the clap hands [clap] type image - if so I shall make it my job to add one for you! :cool:

If you meant something else let me know!

[AndyJD]

Hi Cliff, in some versions of vBulletin, near the Quote, Multi-Quote and Quick Reply buttons, a Thanks button is available. This lets users see who has thanked them :D

This tool is so awesome!! [clap]
It slipped under my radar until I downloaded Nigel's flipchart

Thanks so much +wave+

Wow what a cool tool - and I really like Nigel's Flipchart - some neat ideas! I had never heard of the Curve Chain Tool until I found the flipchart - no mention of the tool in the help menu either - thank goodness for this forum! [clap]

I am trying to cut out a photo of a ball without the background. The chain curve tool would get me the shape of the ball, but not the image. The desktop tools don't seem to allow me to do such a thing unless I am missing something. Is there an easy way to do this? It seems to me we need a round snapshot tool with points to be dragged to outline the image.

Can you use the desktop tools/camera tool - freehand snapshot? Just enlarge what you want to cut out, trace around it while in freehand snapshot, then resize.

You can capture circular or oval shapes using the Spotlight tool. It's pretty cool! Move the spotlight over your ball so that just the ball is showing, then use the menu tool next to it to take a snapshot. It will place the new image on the page and then you can delete the original image of the ball.

Love it. I use it often! {}

Not my idea. ;) Built into the software! :D Someone pointed it out to me one day and I'm surprised at how often I use it.
