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: 2emn4sz.jpg

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:

We could throw it up as a sub-forum under the "Show" section. Call it Fan Creations or something...

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.

havent dealt with ipb in a long time. but its somewhere under board management. create a new board and youll get the option to choose a parent board

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/ )

I would like to see it in action. Is there a viewable demo to see what it is layed out like? Screen shots?

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.

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.

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.
