Some useful info for text link sellers

Never knew this. Those of you selling text links on your sites may want to double-check to make sure you are using no-follow.

What to expect from Microsoft next month...

Looks like the pompous beast has finally started to cave in regards to complaints about how crappy Internet Explorer is.

Here's a preview of how IE9 is performing so far:

Acid3 test

IE7 - 11/100
IE8 - 12/100
IE9 - 95/100

Some info on CSS3 properties: http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/ietestcenter/
findmebyip.com has a nifty feature of testing for certain bits of HTML5 and CSS3, but the site itself is a bit funky in regards to standards. For example, they say Firefox supports border-radius, yet they're using a vendor-specific plugin in their CSS (-moz-border-radius). IE9 supports the actual "border-radius" property, which findmebyip.com seems to have ignored. Also, I might be missing it, but it appears IE9 still doesn't support RGBA (red, green, blue, alpha opacity), which is something I'd love to start using.

Some things to note about Microsoft's internal testing: Microsoft is extremely biased when it comes to product testing, and as such, they only test things that they plan to/have already implemented. That's why at their "ietestcenter" it appears to have scored a 99% for HTML5. My point is, take anything published by Microsoft about their products with a grain of salt, and try yourself first-hand.

It's not nearly perfect in regards to the future of web design and usability, but it's an unbelievable improvement over what they've done in the past. I guess Bill Gates' retirement was a golden gift.

For those who care, IE9 beta is due to come out on September 15th.

Anyone have these vector backgrounds?

Just stumbled across my old subscribed threads and noticed this. Then I noticed I'd deleted them from my web server, and they'd been long gone from my computer after it crashed a while ago.

Just wondering if anyone still has them in vector format? It would mean a lot.

I was told from a Admin on here to post a topic about this member:
http://www.myspacepros.com/forum/member.php?u=7070

On July 31st, this member contacted me through my thread about my backgrounds and they finally purchased the backgrounds. Here is the thread stating that they purchased the backgrounds:

Well, they sent payment & everything well I was contacted today from Paypal saying this person had reversed the payment, so now their trying to keep my money AND my backgrounds.

Here is all the proof that he sent the payment on July 31st, 2010:
Proof of the paypal that I reccieved the payment (Now its saying HELD because its being reversed)

Here is the email that I received saying that he is reversing the payment:
Email from paypal

Now, here is the proof of my sent messages that shows me sending him the backgrounds the SAME day:

I've had problems not to long ago with him stealing my graphics, a person on her Nadiaherex3 bought a pack of my summer graphics and he stole them off her site and refused to remove them and lied to admins where he got them from. He is a known scammer and loves to do stuff like this to people. Something needs to be done about him!
