It did seem like a zillion years or so! Talk about withdrawal symptoms!Sark,
I'm just curious, what operating system and browser was working. I have both Mac and PC and only one of my browsers would work, Internet Explorer for Mac which is no longer being supported by Microsoft. It hasn't been updated for years and I never use it otherwise. Weird! \:]

Hi ooptea,
Actually it was entirely done in PS.The thing that made it really work was a font called Eklektic Normal. You can get it here...(just scroll down a bit).
http://www.webpagepublicity.com/free-fonts-e.html
The neon effect was just layer styles (lots of inner and outer glow). Here, I'll upload the basic style which I modified.
The bricks were simple but I forget just how I did them, probably just a texture. The lighting on the brick was done with Lighting Effects filter using three omni lights to illuminate the bricks somewhat with the colors of the letters.
The letters were just a font with styles. Of course the G had three layers of differing sized outer glows.
I forget all the steps I went through with the placement of the 'transformer' and 'wiring conduit.' I used the pen tool to draw the basic shape in three sections, each of which had to be styled (bevel and emboss) to get a rounded effect and the colored highlights. The section behind the red flickering G needed three different levels of highlight colors to match the flickering. You can see where the illusion fails at the top of the 'wiring conduit' where the blue meets the red. It's a small enough flaw in the illusion that it isn't particularly noticeable on casual viewing.
That was pretty much it but I did like the result.

Guys just so ya know... the problem wasn't OS or browser related. It was IP range related. Which is why i and numerous others had no problems getting into the Forum, while others could not.
I have no idea what went wrong to cause this, but it's over now so i'm just going to forget all about it. }P

XP & IE....As Mark says it wasn't related to either of these issues though. Have no idea what IP range is. It just seemed strange that the site went dead regarding posts. I wondered whever it was some annual holiday or that strange American version of football (Superbowl) distracting everybody on the US side of the Atlantic.

Glad you are back on Mark! 
True Story and on Point
I was reading about a 119 year old Massai woman from Africa. She never saw a doctor in her life and she is in perfect health. In fact she looks 40 years younger -- She say's if she gets sick, she just ties a string around her toe to keep the illness away from her body.
Sometimes wishing is profoundly better than technology.
