P.S. most the bad language early morning/afternoon PSC time, is by sad old/middle age men, sad but true.

j-elzic is correct - if you do not participate in chat every now and then (and attempt to bring your own civility to those there who need guidance in this area!) then you will not need a SockLINK for your CynnSOCK.
And Splodge is correct. You can capture your screen that way.
or MY way if you DARE!

Okay. It didn't work. Probably because I'm using an old USB keyboard from my PC on my new MacMini? I never used the function keys for anything, so I never found out whether they work. I do seem able to "print" the screen and save it as PDF, but it doesn't look quite the same as the actual screen. I think I'll have better luck with Elmer Fudd's wabbit twap heh heh heh heh.
As far as chat goes, does anyone have a recommended time to try? (Thanks for the recommendation of when NOT to try.) I mention teenagers because I've worked in public libraries where one can always find 13-16year-old boys with their incredibly vulgar "chat" on the public PCs. I'm glad it's not my job to constantly police them.
But what about Cynn Originals "plain sock" avatars with different, non-chat-oriented qualifications? Why not reward good voters? PSC does, after all, keep track of everyone's votes per post ratio. One does need to have entered more pics in order to vote. There are thousands of registered users, but fewer than 100 entries on most of the contests...I would be surprised to find out if very many of those users were "active" in everything but the contests on a site titled "PhotoShop Contest.
I really don't mean to sound like I'm "whining." It's hard to convey tone-of-voice in a forum. Just still being so new, such a tourist, I get lost and confused easily...

This is a job for... Sock Cop!
To capture your screen on your Mac, hit shift + apple + 3. This will generate a file called Picture 1 on your desktop. You can edit that with Photoshop, cropping it down to just pertinent details.
I love daytime chat. I wish work was less busy so I could chat more. However, I do realize it's an acquired taste. The evening crowd is more subdued, and some Tuesday nights, you can catch Reinman.
Please feel welcomed to organize a chat for a certain time, when you'd like to set a more professional tone. If you post on the board, I'll bet folks will show up.

IT WORKED!!
You have NO IDEA how long I've been wanting to do that!!
<insert back-flipping emoticon here >
And thank you for the encouragement. I'll get my feet wet yet! Er, your socks are probably dryclean only, huh. I'll have to be careful once I finaly qualify for one. BTW, I love them! (Who doesn't?)

Awww.... we aren't that bad, are we? Instead of disgusting and vulgar, I prefer to think of us as challenging the increasingly rigid conventions of political correctness. If you think it's bad now, you should have seen the chat area in it's primal, unmoderated days! Fanatical mobs of retired members used to raid the forums in the early morning hours and drag helpless, unsuspecting newbies into chat and force them to post badly animated GIFs and other unspeakable filth. Yeah... those were the days.

Cafeinated: If you hit command-shift-4 on a mac, you can click and drag over the part of an image you want to capture. The image will be captured once you release the mouse.
You say "apple", I say "command"

Why, thank you, Cambria. Thanks to earlier advice, I did manage to "capture" a few screens--without laying traps, too! I've actually enjoyed the chat, now that I've gotten to know a few people better, and some of you have gotten to know me better.
I do have a question about the forum thread. Perhaps Reinman-cop or Cynn-sock creator would be the ones to decide. Here's the thread I started: http://photoshopcontest.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=3015 It was a serioius question, and I've gotten a lot of great feedback and really helpful suggestions. We've even had some fun with it--check out Bandit, splodge's daughter's boxer! It has grown through a goodly part of a second page. However, several of the additional replies happen to be my own. Does this forum thread still qualify as per the spirit intended in the sock laws? I certainly hope so, but I'll respect the decision of the judges.
