Okay, I'm not going to imitate Doc Nil's inimitable style of anouncing this so, I'll just give the bare bones.

:lol: Technically we've got the first ad of Set H because the plan was that gogz69's ad would have two versions - cancelled and not cancelled - I just haven't finished (RL(TM)) tidying them up yet...

And when I finish Gogz' idea for a trumble based ad - it needs to be back to back on the same board so that'll be 3 ads into set H - oh and I've got another bank to finish - so that'll be 4 ads - cool! Roll on set H!

Any chance you can have a go at fixing my GalNavy ad? The text on the GalNav badge is totally crap and even gogz69 siad he couldn't do a thing with it. Can you take a look?

PM it to me at the best resolution you've got and I'll see if I can tickle it....

(or possibly better without the Galnavy logo on it at all and I'll see if I can create another one from semi-scratch)

One thing - did Stromboli's ad (???) make an appearance - I presume Doc eventually grabbed it from later through the thread - but I noticed sometimes it was there and sometimes it wasn't - if it isn't and Doc didn't grab it - we may need another ad.

I'm trying to introduce my 3 boys to this game, and it would be great fun to have faces and personal stuff in ads. Is it possible to make a set "Z" with a template ready set up where people could put in their own stuff. It would also be good if this set had a slightly higher chance of being chosen for any particular ad. This should not be that hard. I know that it would be easy to just change the pictures in some other set, but a dedicated set with personal ads would be more fun.

Single Male Blue Poisonous Frog seeks Single Female (or other compatible gender) Green Fishoid.... ROFLMAO!

Sorry Gimi, but the idea of "Personal" ads got mixed with your suggestion of "personal ads".

Are you sure you got that mixed up, maybe you hit the nail on the head.

@Gimi - I've done enough ads now to have more than a full set with just my own ads - in the early days I did pretty much what you suggested - I created my own version of Set A with my own ads in it and then copied it into the AddOns dir - removing some/all of the other sets - voila - only my own ads!
