Here's what the main page looks like for me in Opera: [IMG]http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/5306/theotaku6mr.jpg[/IMG] You'll notice that some parts overlap each other while the rest are really spaced out beneath, see how small the scroll bar thingy is.

I tried to search to avoid making a double thread, and that search lead me to a 20 page long thread, and after looking through 10 pages, I figured I might as well make a thread. Anyway, if anyone noticed, it's been a long time since I visited theOtaku, mainly because I switched to using Opera, and for some reason, Opera renders the main page of theOtaku almost unreadable as the news items overlap each other. If this is indeed an Opera problem, is it possible to fix this somehow? Maybe the site could detect the browser and then use a different stylesheet so that the site is readable. If it's not an Opera problem, what can I do to be able to read the site? I don't really have any problems with theOtakuBoards or MyOtaku, but the main problem is the main page, and I usually don't venture further than that if I can't read it.

Alot of people do want to learn Japanese because of anime (nothing wrong with that), but not me. I learnt Japanese in 1997 to 2003, not because of anime. In fact, I got into anime in 1999 (two years after beginning to learn Japanese). I don't know if I can offer any tips on learning Japanese, it was pretty easy for me to lean kanji, being Chinese. I guess the best way to learn it is to be exposed to it.

Tetris was one of the few games that I used to play on my old console. Now, I probably wouldn't bear to play that game because I dislike how the game will never end, no matter how hard you try, things just get harder and harder. You feel stressed and in the end, you can only lose.

My dad owns some Chinese 'manhua', and yet he yells at me for reading manga. My Chinese isn't that good, so I can't read it that well. Most of the 'manhua' that my dad owns are fantasy action ones, and there's one about sport/soccer.

@ RizaHawkeye From episode 5: Sasuke wasn't talking about Kakashi, he was talking about his brother, Itachi.

Thanks for helping out. My PM now says 0 private messages.

Okay, I took some screen captures. My Backroom [url]http://www.freewebs.com/roxybudgy/Backroom.jpg[/url] My PM Inbox [url]http://www.freewebs.com/roxybudgy/Inbox.jpg[/url] I still haven't been able to read that one PM.

Right now, the only game I play is Harvest Moon Friends Of Mineral Town. And one of the things you can do in that game is buy a Vacation Villa for 100 000 000 gold. Right now I have 700 000 gold. So sometimes I play for fun, but mostly I'm aiming on making more gold to get the Vacation Villa.

I'm feeling good right now because I watched Inuyasha episode 162 (which has my favourite Sesshoumaru in it) after what seemed like an eternity of downloading, darn slow dial up Internet. Plus, I was flat broke before, but my mum put $300 in my bank account, and the first thing I did was rush off to Empire Toys to by Girl Got Game volume 5, and I might go buy some anime DVDs in a few weeks time.

In my backroom, it says that there is one private message, but when I open the PM box, there's nothing there, but it doesn't say that there are no messages in the folder. What to do?

I don't know how to computerise stuff. Is it done with Photoshop? I do have Photoshop, but it isn't installed on my computer because I don't have a DVD drive and Photoshop is on a DVD ROM.

Thanks for the feedback. It is supposed to be just a short little manga, I originally tried to make it just one page, but it turned out that I had to make it into two pages.

I like to draw anime and manga characters. What I find most difficult is hands and drawing two character or more together, I can never get the size right. Actually, in my opinion, the only thing I'm okay at is drawing faces in 3 quarter view.

I did this short little manga ages ago, and I'm thinking of redoing it because the style of drawing I did back then is different to now. The original version is located at the bottom of this page [url]http://www.geocities.com/roxybudgy/Art.html[/url] I'm considering making some dialogue changes, any suggestions, or should I leave it as it is? By the way, I did not mean to offend anyone with the manga, it was drawn when the reality TV show 'Popstars' was on TV.

I feel sorry for the Australia's women's rowing team, one girl stopped rowing near the finish line and her team mates threatened to throw her out of the boat.

I saw A I Love you at the shops, and from reading the blurb, it sound a little similar to Chobits?

My parents' main problem with anime is that they say it distracts my sister from doing school work. I'm at university now, lots of free time, so my mum doesn't have a problem with me watching anime, but recently, she's been trying to make me stop because when I watch, my sister watches (she's still in primary school). My sister would suddenly say that she finished her homework when I start to watch anime. Also, when I have manga, my sister would read it rather than study. My dad doesn't approve of anime, he says that cartoons are for kids, so I never watch anime when dad is home. He is really nuts when it comes to good grades. He says that my sister will have bad grades if she wastes time watching/reading anime/manga. It annoys me how he always compare me with his friend's daughter (Jennifer), who like me, is aiming to be an accountant. Recently he keeps telling me about how Jennifer got a high distinction in Accounting.

I would never cosplay, I have seen some pictures of cosplayers and they are all so weird looking, especially the one of that woman who dressed up like Rei Ayanami (it was basically a tight white suit with lines drawn across it, set off with a bright blue wig) I think people should only cosplay if they look like anime characters, for example, my little sister looks alot like Nyamo from Love Hina, lol.

I decided to check out the wallpaper section on theOtaku, but for some reason, it says that I have to be a member to view wallpapers, but I'm already a member, when I click on the submit wallpaper thingy, that works, but I can't see wallpapers on the wallpaper section.

To this question, I would say "my pet budgies" but if this were to happen in reality, I would try to save my own skin. Isn't it just natural to want to survive?

I know for certain that Jehovah's Witnesses aren't allowed to watch anime or read manga because of its content, there are probably some exceptions.

I fear doing something that I will regret. Also, Spontaneous Human Combustion scares me. I have seen pictures of it and it is so creepy, I can't stand looking at a book that might have SHC pics in it. When I was in primary school, the Oompah Loompah from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory scared me, now days I can tolerate them.

I just discovered something. If you use Cut when you are in short grass, all the grass around you disappears.

I see that most people who roam these forums are from Canada US or UK. I'm from Malaysia, but I live in Western Australia, and I have been living in Western Australia for over 16 years now. Outside Otaku Boards, I'm a university student doing Bachelor of Business with a double major in Accounting and International Business. I also like to make websites, AMVs, do manga translations and watch my pet budgerigars and finches.
