You can only move threads out of the 'Extra Discussion' forum .. once out, they fall under the rules of the forum they reside.

Re: CD-Media
 

When you tag something, it should show up in the list of tags.
Click on a specific tag, and it'll come up with a search string results of everything that has that.

Or, just search images and use keyword: TAG where TAG = what you want to search for.

I think that's the best way to find something especially from one specific regional for example. Not everything is tagged fully, and probably never will be, but since there is no browsable "tree" view like their was before, this is the best way to look for all similar pics.

By tree I meant the ability to browse through the sections of where pictures were located such as: 2006>Regionals>Peachtree for example.

Re: CD-Media
 

Ah. OK. I didn't notice it wasn't in "Extra Discussion". :)

Re: CD-Media
 

Is there any standard tagging format for FLL pics?

Re: CD-Media
 

Nope. Got any suggestions?

Re: CD-Media
 

I saw some tags that are like normal tags with FLL in front of them:
ex:
FLLreferees, etc.
those seem fine.

I'm not so sure about the different tournaments though. I guess we would use whatever is on usfirst.
ex: Florida State Qualifier
but have FLL in front:
FLL Florida State Qualifier

also for vex, some tags are after the city, some are after the regional they were in. any ideas for uniformity?

another question: for labeling items, should we keep it singular or keep it plural (or keep both)? That way, when people search... they will know which one to use (if we have a little 'common tags' page or something)

Re: CD-Media
 

I'd say keep them just 'referees' .. there's no need to separate them, really.

I'd go with whatever's on FIRSTs website. Add a 200x after them for the year.

How about for the official ones, we do "Vex [city]" .. like "Vex Hartford" and "Vex Hartford 2006". For the unofficial ones, let's go off the 'Events' column on the FIRST Vex events webpage.

Singular is probably good, just to be consistent -- one is best, otherwise we'll get too many tags. If they search for plurual, it may still come up in the results .. we'll have to test that out.

Re: CD-Media
 

Wouldn't a tag more like "FVC Orangeburg" keep the competition names in line with FLL? (I suppose one could argue that FRC should be appended to those competitions, but I guess it's assumed since CD is pretty FRC-heavy.)

Re: CD-Media
 

Since most FLL teams do not have the same team number each year, maybe we should include a year into FLL tags. Maybe something along the lines of fll[team.number] [year], with some examples being fll4747 2002, fll4477 2005, etc.

Re: CD-Media
 

sounds like a good idea.

maybe, since it's hard to remember every tournament name, we can put in a tag like "FLL Florida" or "FLL New York" to atleast make the FLL tournaments searchable by state. What do you think?

Another suggestion, when we make delete requests, can we be able to write a reason why (just like when you vote add/reject)? Some people are requesting the deletion of a tag and maybe they have a reason that we wouldn't otherwise understand.

Re: CD-Media
 

Would it be possible if tags that are inserted as: "Who" "am" "I" are automatically changed to "Who Am I"? Some auto fixes like that would clean up the tagging system a little bit.

Re: CD-Media
 

Brandon any chance you have gotten working on fixing the thumb nail issue of grabbing a thumbnail from a weird part of the photo?

Re: CD-Media
 

Haven't had a chance to, yet. That's next on my plate, since it isn't too hard to fix.

You mean don't like being decapitated in your picture? :)

Re: CD-Media
 

Ok, now you can regenerate your own thumbnail.

The interface is functional, but kinda ugly. I'll be fixing how it looks, eventually.

Just click the edit icon ( ) and you will be able to do all sorts of things (eventually). For now, all you can do is regenerate your thumbnail.

Why would you want to do that? Right now, the system automatically chooses a square in the middle of the image. For portraits, mainly, this causes a problem when it chops off your head. Now you can fix it.

Let me know if there's any issues with it, if you use it.

Thanks,
Brandon

Re: CD-Media
 

I tried to regenerate the thumbnail for one of my older WAI pictures (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/19680). I tried refreshing, but I'm still getting the Marie Antoinette treatment in the thumbnail.

Re: CD-Media
 

shift+refresh?

Re: CD-Media
 

Yahtzee.

Re: CD-Media
 

Is there anyway (or going to be) to change your vote on a tag? Sometimes when I go threw and I'm voting, I mis click or mis-read the tag and give it a wrong vote, only to realize it later. It would be nice to have a way to change it since mistakes do happen.

Re: CD-Media
 

Any way to retract a delete vote?
I accidentally put delete on a picture tag in which I thought that a better tag existed for. I guess not. :(


edit: LOL Looks like Michelle wants the same feature. (That's what I get for not reading the previous posts.) OK, so far 2 votes for this.

Re: CD-Media
 

Hrm.. if its meant to be, your wrong vote shouldn't be in the majority in the end. ;)

I'll have to see how easy this would be, and if it will mess anything up.

Re: CD-Media
 

I have a question (or maybe I'm just inviting discussion) about tagging format. Lately I have been feeling indecisive about whether or not tags for team names should be added/voted for or deleted. For a while, I thought that team names were unnecessary to tag because we already had the frcXXXX format in place (and I voted to delete team names). However, now that I think about it, I think team name tags are also acceptable, for searching purposes (someone might search "Wildstang" instead of frc111 and not come up with as many pictures).

Can we taggers come to a consensus on this? I think we should vote 'in' team names instead of voting against them.

Also, I have noticed alot of new users neglecting to use proper format, or who are unaware of how to set a picture as a WAI, and/or who probably have not read the CD Media FAQ. Would it be too much to ask for an announcement on the portal reminding people about format and directing them to the FAQ?

Thanks,
Jaine :)
