Not me, try clearing your browse history/cache/forms and all that and let the website ask to remember your password again, that should hopefully do the trick

I'm pretty confused about customizing figures. I was wondering what the best paint is for customs and how people can get so much detail into symbols on their figures. Do they use stencils, or do they just have lots and lots of skill?

Hello and welcome to the shipyards!
As far as what paint to use for your customs, the usual medium of choice is acrylic model paint.
I use testors, model master, and floquil acrylic paints and many others use citidel games workshop paints.
As far as detailed markings, some people use a mechanical pencil to kind of sketch the markings on a figure prior to painting them. Some use decals, and some just do it freehand.
For your first project, start with something simple and as you go along, your skills will grow.

And if you go shopping for Testors paints at Hobby Lobby or Michael's, *PLEASE* read the label!  Testors makes a *lot* of enamel paints and you may accidentally end up with some of those if you aren't careful!  I've had that problem recently - grabbing enamel instead of "acryl" as they are labeled - and I've been doing this for decades.

Can you buy games workshop paints at Michael's or any other craft store, or do you have to order it online?

[DocOutlands]

As far as I know, you can only get them at specialty gaming stores or online.

Do you have to get an image of of Photobucket/Imageshack, or can you just load a picture from a file on your computer?

[Phatty]

You can load directly from your computer, by clicking on Additional Options below the input box when you click reply, but they display much better and much easier using Photobucket or Flickr

I don't know why, but when I try to use the chatroom, it doesn't show any text at all. Why is it doing that?

You can get them at Hobby shops like Hobby Lobby or Hobbytown USA

If you post a competition (I'm not saying I am though, at least probably not), do you have to offer something for the winner or only if you choose to?
