Hi all,

I noticed that all our old work is being shown in an incorrect format.

DON"T stress too much people. It can easily be corrected if you are not willing to wait for the moderators to assist us.

View the posting you wish to change.
Edit it by selecting the edit option at the bottom of the piece.
If you had a thumbnail and it is not showing, browse and select it again.
Then save your posting.

It will show up in the correct format.

Hugs all!

Does that correct the messy display of the contents of the writer's gallery on the front page?

And don't say that would be solved if everyone had a thumbnail.  It shouldn't be necessary to add work to get a proper display.

Ok, I must have caught you deleting your gallery. I saw the last 3 entries then they disappeared.

Maybe message the moderator to get accurate answers? I can only tell you what I did to get my gallery in order.

Hugs for a stressful day  Dialyn.

It isn't my personal gallery I was concerned about. That was long overdue to delete.  I am talking about if you bring up the writer's gallery and look at the entries...it is not a pretty sight.  I'm sure it will be fixed eventually.  At least I hope so.

I see what you mean.
It makes me want to delete all my thumbnails just to have a uniformed look.

Maybe if they had a table of sorts that sets frames around the postings without thumbnails and set the padding to center the links.

Lets just see what they come up with. It is a huge undertaking....

Yeah at the moment there's a lot of work going on to renovate the galleries. It's a pretty huge overhaul in terms of how everything actually works behind the scenes. Let me know the sorts of things you'd like and I can always pass them on for you =)

What I would like:

I don't think people should have to edit all of their writings in the gallery  for them to set up properly on the page.  It's not a big deal for a small gallery, I guess, but it is tedious for a large one.

I would like a "remove" button on the initial view of my gallery...I had to go into each item to delete it and that was another unnecessarily tedious exercise.

Take SusieQ's suggestion about how to set up the writer's gallery front page so that items without thumbnails wouldn't be so squashed.

It should not be necessary to know CSS to make selections of common options.  You may be a whiz at CSS, and so may the majority of people, but I am not feeling all warm and fuzzy about it.

My homepage shows, curiously enough, thumbnails of what I have already deleted from the gallery.  I assume eventually the homepage will be synchronized with the galleries.  Not that anyone would look, but if I delete from one place, I expect the item to be deleted from the other.

A non-gallery item. How does one override the double spacing between paragraphs?  Without having to go into the misery of CSS (have we established that I am not going to learn CSS just to make life easier for Renderosity?)

I am sure the site will speed up as things progress. 

That's my immediate grumbles.

Thanks Dialyn, I appreciate you telling me what's been bothering you =) I'll see if I can convey those suggestions to the ones that can actually get some changes done on the site. Convenient actually since some server work is about to be done!

David L.

Hello. Is the server here fixed? Did they change to a 'new' server in their gallery switch? I see it was down for the 'intial changeover' and then again for some time wednesday.

Right now, it is CRAWLING for me. Takes 3 minutes on Broadband to load up a page? Grrr ....

SUSIQ and whomever: I saw this thread post and I also finally was able to view your same info/upload in the writer's gallery.

When I tried to click onto my previous uploaded image, LABELS, I brought up the page after 3 minutes, clicked onto 'edit' and did so.

However, it then said ----   "The notes for your image exceed the maximum size for this gallery (4096 characters). Please adjust your notes and try again." 

???? LOL!

So, it appears to dumb old me, that the previous character limitations are now reduced? To 4096 characters per written uploaded piece? What was the 'old' limit of characters?

I  just now tried  to upload a new written work which was less in length/pages than my LABELS prior work but it gave me the same, above 4096 error message. ???

QUESTION 1: How does one 'count' easily the numbers of characters in a Microsoft WORKS Word document?

QUESTION 2: When one says 'characters' is that only relevant to actual typed 'characters' or does it include how man 'lines' of space is being used in a copy/paste document from top to bottom?

Is one 'line' across considered one 'character'?

Thanks, in advance, for any and all help. MUCH appreciated.

Are moderators here being told exactly 'why' the slow speeds of this site still and if/when it will be back to something decent?

Respectfully,

TallPockets/brian.

SUSIQ: on a somewhat lighter note ....

I saw a pop up ad for Filips Trees And Plants just now.

Is that something related to 'art' or a place T.P. can buy his 2006 xmas tree? WINK.

Now, instead of getting,  waiting for www.renderosity.com I

I get,  waiting for   excalilbur renderosity .com    LOL

I think I remember seeing the movie, Excalibur awhile back  ....

If my old memory serves me correctly, the sword, excalibur, was stuck deeply
into a huge boulder/rock and whomever could remove it would become
"The Chosen One''? ....

Methinks this site may need such a chosen one?  WINK.

SMILES. T.P.

There is also a camelot.renderosity.com

..........

I wonder if this isn't a little nod to DeeMarie and her fascination with all things Arthurian.

:m_wink:

LOL is there? Hooray camelot!

The server updates and changes are kind of all over the place at the moment. Did anyone else's bookmarks break? =P

David L.

Mine did, but I figured they were still sorting things out.  This is a big site to deal with...there are bound to be some blips in the transitioning.

HELLO. Ok, did I ask a bad question(s)?  LOL.

Would anyone be so kind as to attempt to answer my above questions? THANKS, much in advance.

Midrael?? (Moderator)

My best, T.P.

Dialyn: Hello. Yes, Excalibur and Camelot render? .... Hmmm .... Methinks someone is old enough to remember Jackie O and JFK? WINk.

Or, they remember the knights of the roundtable? (As T.P. does. Along with 'fire' and the 'wheel'). SMILE.

Maybe Ivanhoe will be next?

Methinks the terrorists have kidnapped the writer's moderator(s). WINK. T.P.

''max 25000 characters,''

Well, after perusing the writer's gallery areas just now, it appears that things can be edited
ok again and that the maximum characters has been increased from the 4096 to the above
maximum 25000 characters?

Thanks for the 'help'. WINK.

I never thought a 'writer's site' would be SO quiet with information. SMILE.

My best, TallPockets.

P.S. .... I hope this means that 'terrorists' did NOT capture anyone. WINK2.

Maybe it means they had a very good weekend. 

Miss Dialyn: Hello, dear lady.

Stop those 'immediate grumblings' or you'll end up old and grumpy,
like TallPockets. WINK. SMILE.

QUESTION TO RENDEROSITY:

I use Netscape 7.2 browser. Does anyone else here?

Do you also have the 'problem' with the 'forums' at this site
of when clicking onto it, it brings the forum area site up ok
but then it 'pauses' for 15-20 seconds EACH time before it
'moves'?

Any explanation for this? Or shouldn't I ask? WINK.

T.P.

MISS DIALYN: Here's hopin'!!  If it was, it must've been a 'quiet' one. WINK.
