Random questions

Doesn't work... but I don't know what exactly you meant with that (just rename it and add ".ico" in the file?)

[thespaceinvader]

That will make it into an icon, yes. But it won't necessarily attach it to the appropriate program...

[Monroid]

Any tips on how to do that then?

You ought to get a prize for asking three truly random questions.

I don't know if you're on windows, but the way I do it is create a shortcut for the program, right click on the shortcut, select "Properties", click the "Change Icon" button, and navigate to the icon file you want to use.

[Monroid]

Yeah, that's what I'm doing, but I can't find the image I saved as an icon... it doesn't appear on the list or on the folder I saved it if I click on "search files"

I agree.

And it does have the .ico extension, right? Hmm.... I don't know. Sorry.

Maybe this will help?

Yet another thing that I need answered:

If you were hit by a whip, would it cause "slashing" or "piercing" damage?

Just to clarify, my last comment was not meant to be taken seriously. If you have the skill to make cheap counterfits and manage to sell them without getting into trouble, that's your business, I may even buy some from you.

As for the whip, well I happen to have been hit with a whip several times (best not to ask it was concentual though, don't worry about that), I'd actually class it as impact damage because 1) even when you are cut (which need not be with every stroke) the pain is closer to being smacked with a thin flat object really hard than to being sliced with a knife. 2) if you are wearing clothing and get hit with a whip it still hurts like hell! if you are wearing cloting and get cut, mostly the clothing either gets cut through or it prevents damage and or pain (obviously this does not apply to heavy baldes or axes, but then I'd argue for impact damage anyway) 3) whips can curl round individual bones in skeletons thus making them quite effective against undead.

I still contend it's slashing damage.

"To slash," as defined by Merriam-Websters, means "to lash out, cut, or thrash about with or as if with an edged blade" and offers the words "to cut with or as if with rough sweeping strokes," "cane, lash," and "to cut slits in (as a garment) so as to reveal a color beneath." Sounds like a whip to me.

Ok since this is a random questions thread, I'll ask a dumb question here:
In the 'User group' tab (belong to User Control Panel) at the bottom of a page, there are 'resign' and 'demote' options. The question is: What are the differences between them ? Can you clarify them for me? (in my opinion, they are actually the same: when submitted, you will quit the selected group)
