Is it just me, or has anybody else's blue Mudcat Cafe logo at the top left of the page, gone fuzzy?
I know my Mother said I would go blind eventually, but this is getting ridiculous!

I don't notice any difference. Even after I cleaned my screen.

It's you Giok. You gotta quit drinkin' that cask-strength stuff.

A short time ago, I DID find another 'mudcat' website that seemed to have poached the catfish. (Same logo, with no banjo neck.) http://www.mudcatfalls.com/, which is way funnier than your average hernia.

I can't tell because I'm a little fuzzy myself.

Besides, it might be a rare furry catfish.

Your post about the logo made me curious about the origin of this Mudcat logo. Can you provide info about who/how it came about?

Somewhere there's a thread about it Bobad, [I think]

Thanks Giok, I did a search and came up with this:

I have a very high res version of the logos. Anyone who contacts via email, I'll send a copy.


The kid who drew the Mudcat was our neighbor. We gave him free access to the courses we were offering at the time, a $700 value. He gave me the design, and all rights to it. He drew the line drawing, I believe black ink on white paper. I digitized it, moved the fish a bit, and colored it.

Well, Master...your link gave me a blank page that just said The Mudcat Cafe upper left. No logo at all.

What threw me off was 'blue' the fish is blue. No, the water the fish is jumping out of is blue, but it's got blue in it. Icon, no logo - whoops. The Mudcat logo is green. Well, it's 'teal'. It's not fuzzy though.

Giok, if you have a web accelerator, that would explain it. If you don't, and you don't have large smudges on your glasses or are wearing them upside down or backwards, and they aren't somebody else's glasses, and if the REST of reality isn't fuzzy like the logo, I don't know what to say.

Looks sharp, as always at this size. Biggifying it fuzzifies it.

You are. Very, very special.

Seriously, the logo in the Help Forum is different than the one here, so maybe it really ISN'T you. Well, it's you, just in a 'different' sort of way instead of a 'stark raving' sort of way.

Oh, NOT the banjo?

1. Yes, it's always been a little fuzzy,
2. but I don't see a difference today.
3. I'm on a wide, good-quality monitor.
4. I agree wholheartedly that Giok is especially special.

Well folks you'll all be mighty relieved to hear that I solved the problem.
I re-booted and all is well.
Technology eh, don't you just love it?

Giok

Thanks for the kind words!!

I'm on MSN, so I have to log onto the Internet with the MSN browser, and then I use the MSN browser to check news and local weather. Then I log off, but keep the connection alive, and use Firefox, which i prefer. The Mudcat graphics and other graphics are fine with firefox, but they've recently become fuzzy on the MSN browser.
Does Jeri's theory apply to me, that my MSN browser may have an accelerator that is blurring the graphics? Guess I'd better try to figure out how to turn the dang thing off, eh?

Joe, I have one that helps me load stuff faster. The way it does this is to compress* certain files, such as graphics. I can pretty much control this or turn it off (which I do when I want to look at photos), but most of the time, it really does work.

*not sure if this is exactly correct, or weather the accelorator simply downloads SOME bytes, not all.
