MHD, small correction, Challenge 3 is listed as "Three Pointed" on your website :wink:

by **MHD** on Wed Feb 23, 2005 10:25 am

Yes, changed at the request of the photographer

Gallery is looking real nice...

Do people like the larger thumbnails and black borders this time?

I might play with the background colour later too...

by **Manta** on Wed Feb 23, 2005 10:32 am

I love the layout Scott. Be interested to see what different backgrounds you come up with.

by **Glen** on Wed Feb 23, 2005 10:40 am

MHD, love the black borders used this and last time, look excellent, and the larger thumbnails are great. You can get so much more information on a cursory glance. THough when it comes to voting I will look at all at full size.

Question MHD, with regard to voting, I feel that last time all my votes may not have been recorded (my fault). To have every vote count, should I A) look at each photo individually, then vote on it immediately by pressing the vote button or B) look at all photos on a page, then vote on that page as an entirety by pressing the vote button or C) Look at all pages, and press the vote button on the last page? Thanks for your guidance.

by **MHD** on Wed Feb 23, 2005 10:44 am

A and B are correct, C is wrong

If viewing a single image, selecting a score registers your vote
When viewing a page you must select scores and when done with that page press the vote button

You will know if your vote was recorded as when you visit next time it should show your votes in the selection boxes...

(which you can change anytime up until the voting finishes)

by **Glen** on Wed Feb 23, 2005 10:48 am

Thanks mate, that makes it all clear :wink:

Guess who used C last time? Jordan P would have won in an even more convincing way had I been smart enough to vote properly

Something I just noticed regarding looking at images full size. Correct me if I'm wrong MHD, but the thumbnail on the gallery page is the "small" size and when you click on it you get a standardized "medium" size and if you click it for a 3rd time you get it at the submitted resolution.

by **MHD** on Wed Feb 23, 2005 6:26 pm

correct

Really hotting up now MHD. I must say the gallery looks really good with the high quality images and your nice borders and presentation

by **JordanP** on Thu Feb 24, 2005 11:56 am

It is certainly an interesting perspective...

by **MHD** on Thu Feb 24, 2005 1:51 pm

Indeed....

MHD, I thought my PC was faulty!!! Absolutely shocked me the colour change mid comp. One way to check if anyone is viewing

by **MHD** on Thu Feb 24, 2005 2:51 pm

heheh... do you need a monitor calibration?

by **Glen** on Thu Feb 24, 2005 2:54 pm

I thought I did!! Absolutely shocked me, good trick. I tend to have a look everytime you announce a new entry, so was pretty familiar with the old colour scheme.

by **sheepie** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 6:30 pm

yip - up and running again

...well, it is at http://potofgrass.ath.cx/gallery/challenge3 anyway

by **MHD** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 6:34 pm

Good... what a nightmare!

by **sheepie** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 6:36 pm

Please don't get me wrong, I am not suggesting it is a combined shot, or has too much PP, but how the heck did whoever do "Eye of the Beholder"? It's the flaring more than anything, look forward to a description of technique once the owners are revealed

by **MHD** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 6:39 pm

I have question the owner and his (amazing explinatoion) more than satisfied me...

just you wait until he tells you... it breaks none of the rules

by **rokkstar** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 6:45 pm

I'm afraid I cant see it.
has it gone down again?

Matt

by **dooda** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 6:48 pm

Can anyone else get to it? I can't seem to get at your website at all. Not sure if it's just me or not!

by **xerubus** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 6:55 pm

looks like it went down again mhd... i'll grab a cold beer for you

by **Onyx** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 6:57 pm

Nein, not resolving for me. I get a chinese 404 error.

by **MHD** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 7:06 pm

eeerrrkkk
How about now?

by **the foto fanatic** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 7:13 pm

Still not coming up for me. Hope you can keep sane, MHD!

by **xerubus** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 7:14 pm

not on my end... :cry:

by **MHD** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 7:16 pm

by **MHD** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 7:17 pm

actually ignore that.. once again the problem is upstream of my comp...

grrrrr

by **xerubus** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 7:18 pm

i can get there now.... thankyou..

by **MHD** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 7:28 pm

Now we see how long it stays up for!

by **dooda** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 7:31 pm

works for me now thanks.

Edit, whoops. Pictures didn't get loaded and now I'm not getting in at all. Sorry MHD

by **Nnnnsic** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 7:45 pm

Dead again.

by **Glen** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 7:46 pm

MHD, thanks for all the obvious hassle you are going through. :wink:

ps dead for me as well

by **MHD** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 7:56 pm

No worries... We'll see what happens tonight...
we may have to put voting back a bit but we'll see...

keep sending entries if you have them!

by **wile_E** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 8:11 pm

Yeah, thanks for your help and all the trouble you're going through MHD!

by **MHD** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 8:43 pm

No worries guys... It is out of my hands for tonight...

The problem is in the porthole accounting software that lets packets in and out of the College and charges for it...
Its down as it is incompatible with a new firewall they installed today...

And this was after lots of effort moving my system over to a range of IP's that will not block port 80

So all I can do is wait as the software is modified which could take 12+ hours... if it takes to long I will extend the voting period..

Dont worry... it will not affect submissions! But it may mean a delayed awarding of prizes..

Sincere apologies for the problems... Some AMAZING pics on the site and I dont know about you guys but I have learned a lot seing the quaity of the images submitted...

by **Geoff** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 11:23 pm

No dramas MHD - I can only but echo all the thank you's you have been given for your time and effort in these challenges! You're a champ!

Geoff.

by **the foto fanatic** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 11:32 pm

Firstly, thanx for doing all this work for the members of this forum.

Secondly, congratulations on staying so calm when it appears that the pooey stuff has hit the fan!

I'm sure none of us realises exactly how much effort you have to put into this for us. Sincere thanks.

by **stubbsy** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 11:36 pm

MHD

Hopefully things will sort themselevs out. So what if the voting is held back a day or two. All it means is the presentation can't be done in Melbourne (which would have been nice - but I'm sure no one is going to lose sleep over it)
