calhoun_ftw Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Yea, so... I am unsure of how to edit the wiki, so if you would do that for me please anyone? And, add this for me, I'd be grateful, but really just wanted to share this BG i made, its very simple, but at the same time it is very clean. So here you go: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snubs Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 What do you say, lets turn this thread into a background/wallpaper thread or create a fan art board? We can have people throw up their favorite fan arts, wallpapers, photoshops, etc... And you can show your wallpaper on the wiki page if you want. I recently revamped the wiki wallpaper page, and it's pretty easy to add your own wallpaper to it. First, make a thumbnail about 240x192 or close to that depending on your dimentions. Next, host the thumbnail as well as the original wallpaper on your photo site, photobucket, flickr, etc. Sign up for a wiki user account, and go to the wallpaper page. Go to edit. Scroll down to the bottom of the table where the editing looks like this: |- | <!---[http://Goes Here---> | | <!---[http://Goes Here---> | | <!---[http://Goes Here---> |- | <!---By You goes here---> | | <!---By You goes here---> | | <!---By You goes here---> |- Replace this with your image link and your author name: |- | [http://www.twistedpairrecords.com/digip/hak5.jpg http://www.twistedpairrecords.com/digip/hak5240.jpg] | | [http://www.twistedpairrecords.com/digip/hak5a1.jpg http://www.twistedpairrecords.com/digip/hak5a240.jpg] | | [http://arch.kimag.es/share/40809461.jpg http://kimag.es/resizer/done/72723866.jpg] |- | align=center| 1024x768 By Digip | | align=center| 1024x768 By Digip | | align=center| 1280x1024 By AdvenSpirit |- There ya go! btw, neat wallpaper :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxon Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 A fan art thing would be cool, lots of various stuff like back grounds / sigs an avatars an a place to show off photo shop skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snubs Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 We could throw it up as a sub-forum under the "Show" section. Call it Fan Creations or something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digip Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I'm thinking something like this... http://forums.purepwnage.com/index.php?showforum=17 How do I create a new subforum? Um, check with one of the other mods or darren, matt?? On top of a seperate forum, maybe have an art contest or something as well for each episode or each month a new winner(instead of each week, woudl be overkill). Get more people jonesed to see who's art gets picked on each show and maybe someone can win something for their "pick of the month", like a sticker pack or something autographed,etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swathe Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 cal your wallpaper is pimping up my desktop right now :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I like the idea of bringing back the photoshop competitions. We could choose a winner every week and feature 'em on the show. It would also become a much easier place to manage than the notoriously fugly Wiki/Goodies page. Hell I'd even link to the board from the site's navigation header. Now the only question is do we go with just a simple sub-board to spring for something fancy like IP.Gallery ( http://www.invisionpower.com/community/gallery/ ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly not that I've seen which is the primary reason why I haven't sprung for it. I don't mind shelling out $65 for a decent gallery if it integrates well with the existing forums but not sight unseen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind shelling out $65 for a decent gallery if it integrates well with the existing forums but not sight unseen. Found some sites using it: http://galacticabbs.com/index.php?autocom=...ch&mid=5033 http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/gallery.html I don't really like its navigation. Not sure if it's any better than just having a sub forum titled Weekly Contest or such, with threads for each week or each specific contests subject title. Will it be weekly, monthly, or what time table? Who will hosts the images? I think the IP.Gallery makes your site the host as it lets you upload them through the software.

digip Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I don't think who will host them is an issue with services such as TinyPic available? Well, if he goes with IP.Gallery, it stores all of them from users uploads on Hak5's servers. I know in the past it seems like image size and upload space has been limited and were encouraged more for us to use our own places and then just link to them vs Hak5 hosting all the files. On a busy day I can see Hak5 taking a bandwidth hit for hosting them, but that isn't for me to say or decide. I do not have statistics on what kind of bandwidth they may be worried about.
