The Ur-Quan Masters Discussion Forum

How am I supposed to find out how to get into quasispace without reading a walkthrough?

Reminds me of Simon's Quest 2.... brr.....

Or maybe I missed something?

You talk to your allies, then investigate any interesting phenomena they mention.  They'll give you precise enough information that you'll be able to find the way easily.

Namely, the Spathi or Melnorme have the information you seek.

Please delete the post. that spoiler is enterly readable

not here...

Sounds like a problem between different browsers. If the spoiler function is that useless, we shouldn't be using it.

It's not the spoiler function. I apparently don't have proper permission to use spoiler tags, so I just made it "glow" at the same color as the font. In this case, red on red. However, since IE doesn't follow standards, it actually makes the text "glow" when it sees the glow tag, rather than highlighting it like it's supposed to. Because of this, my method only works for people not using IE. (Instead using Firefox, Netscape, Safari, etc. These browsers are all better than IE, BTW.)

I'm a Firefox user and don't care much for IE either, but you still need to cut that out. "Oh, that web browser doesn't count. Tough luck, buddy!" is incredibly elitist. Positions like those aren't going to endear the Star Control fan community to the rest of the world.

Since when did I say that?!?! >:( I just said that other browsers are better! Next time read before you post, Shiver! And in case you didn't notice, at Cedric's request, I removed the spoiler, although this was in fact because it was such a huge spoiler (I wouldn't have removed a small one). Shiver, you need to calm down a bit and consider what the guy you're criticizing is actually saying. And stop reading between the lines of my posts trying and find larger meanings. I don't do that kind of stuff. If I want to say "Microsoft sucks" (I don't think that anymore, BTW), I will say, in black and white, "Microsoft sucks". I will not say "Microsoft isn't as good as IBM". I myself don't see a resemblance between "this thing sucks" and "this thing is not as good as that thing". I see even less of a resemblance between "Firefox, Safari, and Netscape are better than IE" and "Oh, that web browser doesn't count. Tough luck, buddy!". It also isn't at all like my long description of why my spoiler method doesn't work on IE to you (Shiver). When I explained that IE doesn't follow standards and glows the text instead of highlighting like it's supposed to, I wasn't in any way, shape, or form trying to deliver the message you suggested I was delivering (Besides, like I said, that was to you, not Cedric).

Yes, it's because of the browser that is being used. (Firefox most likely vs. IE most likely) I've confirmed this on my computer using both browsers.

Let's try this for spoilers instead:

I'm a spoiler!

That is, use a [size] tag to reduce the font size.


No, I won't: what I said isn't really a spoiler at all, so I don't think that's really necessary.

Particleman, he was talking about my spoiler, which was a huge one. I deleted it.

jaychant: I'm not even reading that tirade, I only said what I did because you initially didn't fix the spoiler and essentially said "well IE sucks". I think you have some similarly marked spoilers in other threads too.

I DID delete the spoiler when I saw the request. And again, I didn't say in any way, shape, or form that IE sucks.

And since you refuse to read the whole thing, let me highlight the important parts:

You had spoilers with red text highlighted in red before. Pretty sure that was what other people were complaining about. It's not a big deal in any case.

Your point? :-\

When I view this forum with elinks or lynx, the only spoiler that works is   SPOILER

This (http://forum.uqm.stack.nl/index.php?topic=4118.msg53625#msg53625) ought to clear up this whole fiasco.

People, people, people.  Why can't we all just realize that NONE of the tag-based spoiler methods work for the email notifications you get? (Of course, you only get the first one, but still. :/ )

I vote for the SPOILER

method.

To easily decode the rot13 posts, and you're using Firefox, use this extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/770). It does a bunch of other things too.

I remember that addon. How ever, i now use firefox 3b5, and can no longer use it.  :'(

I am hopelessly lost and confused. What you guys are typing looks like nonsense to me.

It's rot13.  Follow the link to the wikipedia page upthread. There's an encoder/decoder for it at http://www.rot13.com/index.php if you don't want to use the extension.

Well, rot13 is stupid. Why are you using it?

I think it was originally to prevent spoilers but i think they decided to use it cos its kinda fun too!

Yeah. ROT13 sucks.
