Adds to my blackmail leverage on Baakay with a certain picture that I
have of her

You slimer!! :doubleflip

*grin* I have some pretty gruesome ones of you as well, my friend...

But ok, none so bad as the horrific picture of Baakay wearing the Digi Charat hat and the Worst Shirt Known To Mankind, while engaging in a laugh that adds at least three chins to the usual two. (And you wonder why I wouldn't pose with Alucard for you that time...)

I LOVE seeing everyone!! What a blast. Personally, though, I have to say that I want to look like Uende when I grow up.

Alternatively, I want to look like one of Kittens' kittens.

Um ... er ...

When I hit the link I get a blank page with a single line of text:

Template->loadfile(): File /home/goldkn2/public_html/anime-beta/phpBB/templates/redIce/album_index_body.tpl for handle body is empty

Am I

doing something wrong?

Nope....it appears one of the new files I uploaded got truncated in the redice skin. I replaced them all and it works now. Sorry about that and good catch!

Hi all! Just posted a new cheesy pic inspired by everyone's cel horror stories *tee hee*. It's good to see everyone's pics, thanks for adding them.

Still no luck. While I can access the gallery page now, I can't upload pictures, even when I compress them to half the maximum size the directions prescribe. I get a "general error" saying that the dimensions of my picture are too large.

The last time I tried, the picture was 480 x 605 pixels and 65.5 kb in size.

Might this be a incompatibility issue with JPEGS, GIFS, BMP etc? or a MAC/PC problem? I used a PC uploading images as JPEGS, it worked fine for me. Sensei, if you try saving the image as a different file type then try uploading again, it MAY resolve the conflict. Other than that, only the master, Magician, might be able to help.

I'm on a Mac and am having no problems whatsoever. ^_^;

That's what I am doing: PC uploading .jpg files. I can try saving it as a .gif file and see if it makes any difference.

UPDATE:

It did upload, but it comes up in the gallery with a big sign "NO THUMBNAIL"

Do gifs not make thumbnails, or should I have clicked a "make thumbnail" button somewhere.

Math is hard.

I don't normally show my photo to cel peeps, but beta is so friendly that I went for it. I opted for a fun pic with little detail...fyi I have long hair, it's pulled back so I could rock out.

The album is kind of glitchy in the auto-thumbnailing. There are 3 different compression types I can select and each one does wierd stuff. The first pukes on jpgs and since most web images are jpgs I decided not to use it.
The 2nd thumbnails all three allowed file types, but the thumbnails came out black and white and fuzzy. The 3rd doesn't like gifs, but png and jpg image thumbnails look good. I chose the 3rd because it sucked less than the other 2.

I don't know why the jpg wouldn't upload for you. It may have been the color mode (8, 16, 24 bit)...it may have been the encapsulation....I just don't know without seeing the original file. I saved the gif you uploaded and converted it into a jpg in Adobe's Imageready. I uploaded it using the redice skin and it worked fine. You can see the thumbnail now.

If you want to email me jpgs that fail, I will look at them and see why they don't work.

On another note, it looks like everyone's pretty comfy uploading to the public gallery, but it doesn't look like the personal gallery's feature is being used much. Everyone gets a small personal gallery as well. Right now I have it limited to 3 images until I see what kind of space this feature takes up. I may increase it to 10 images if the web space isn't vanishing.

To see member galleries (there are 2 right now) click the album link. You will see 2 links above the recent photos. One says "Users Personal Galleries" and the other says "Your Personal Gallery". You will see member galleries listed by username.

To create your own gallery, click on the "Your Personal Gallery" link. You won't see anything in your album until you upload an image, but once you upload one, your gallery is created and viewable by all.

I thought this feature might be handy for showing off cels, sharing screencaps, posting images of items for sale, or whatever. I put a few more fractals and a photo up in my gallery as an example.

It was idiot proof until they made a bigger idiot: me!

I uploaded another pic for the album, but now I have two!

One is bad enough to court 100-year curses! Two may have unbelievable far-reaching effects! Nooooooo!

Magician, could you kindly zap the first pic and leave the less objectionable one of me facing away? (...my best side? hahahahaha)

I'm glad you thought it was funny
