Well, Travis is silly. I added about 25-ish images earlier. I meant to add them this morning but time slipped away from me. We’re steadily approaching 500 images, though, which is a plus. Every week there’s 30-40 images awaiting approval, though only 25-30 actually get added.

Anyway, as Travis said, I made a few changes to the upload page. Most won’t even notice the subtle changes, but I fixed some of Travis’ goofy capitalization, a few grammatical errors and changed a few other things. The biggest change is to the preferred image format when you upload. It’s so frustrating to be faced with watermarking extremely low quality JPG’s. MS Paint does a horrible job at saving this file type, so if you happen to be one of those people that uses MS Paint for your screenshots, please, please save as a BMP (especially if it’s a conversation) and upload as that. The reason for this is that I can watermark and save as a lovely GIF or high quality JPG when I go through and watermark the images before adding them to circulation.

Also, if you’re uploading a larger image, it may take a bit for it to upload depending on your connection speed. You do get a confirmation message at the bottom of the page if your upload was successful

One final thing - I added a short line letting people know when images are usually accepted (Thursday night/Friday morning). Sometimes images are done sooner than that if I have time - or if one makes me giggle like a two-year-old, it gets accepted almost as soon as I run across it so I can show Travis ^^ - but for the most part, it’s become routine to go through and do them all in one shot.

Hopefully the image searching won’t take too long to get up and running. Have no fear though, I’ll badger Travis into doing it. If that doesn’t work, I’ll poke him with a spork or some similar item.

I’m somewhat long-winded, sheesh!
