Re: CD-Media
 

wow this is pretty awesome brandon! i just tagged all my old photos, but this ability to search for pictures is gonna make using CD a lot more enjoyable.

Re: CD-Media
 

So now that CD-Media is getting closer to complete how long until Ventures comes back?

Re: CD-Media
 

Ventures will never be back -- it may be replaced by something, but time will tell.

Re: CD-Media
 

Amazing!

Great work! The tagging and interface is all incredibly easy to use.

Re: CD-Media
 

Cool, thanks.

Another feature that may not be apparent:
You can use vBCode in your descriptions & excerpts.

Re: CD-Media
 

Speaking of code.. and not with CD-Media per-say, but in general on the site: Why is it that sometimes I see &quoteTEXT HERE &quote in some places rather than, I guess it's suppose to be "TEXT HERE" in actual quotes. Can some pages not read the " symbol?

I have seen it get generally better over time, but some places still exhibit this bad code reading ability.

Also, why is my WAI pic changed? Did the switchover change a lot of people's WAI pic by default for some reason??

Anyways, great job with CD-Media. Keep up the good work!!

Re: CD-Media
 

The " is probably because of some transition between the older gallery -> old gallery -> CD-Media, and all of the changes/bug fixes/etc thoughout then.

I'll try to fix them one of these days.

WAI switched to your newest uploaded pic in the WAI old gallery -- you can always change it back.

Re: CD-Media
 

could this be from a copy/paste situation where it didn't take the " just the code version? possibly an easy find &quot in the code and change to " ? although 1GB of code is lots to search through, nevermind...

the way comments show up below pictures is really cool and nice, no need to click "continue discussion"

Re: CD-Media
 

With a quick call to replace() in mysql, I think it's fixed. Let me know if you spot any others.

Weird anomaly. Using using FIRE FOX 1.5.0.1 winxp-pro

Some text when viewing all pictures, gets mixed up with the uploaded by possibly too much text or too large of text? Sorry, I don't know how to have a small picture/thumbnail instead of this large one :confused:

[edit] I just realized at the bottom it says "You may not post attachments" is this just me :o or is this disabled? another bug? :ahh:

Re: CD-Media
 

Yeah, may have to make those boxes taller than they are wide to accomodate larger titles.

Re: CD-Media
 

A note to uploaders, make sure you title your pictures. Otherwise the title just shows up as the file name.

(Brandon, force a title the image to submit for upload?)

Re: CD-Media
 

The same problem exists with "&"s (should be "&"s)

Re: CD-Media
 

A few more things ..

Discussion threads all go into the "Extra Discussion" forum, for now. If you want them moved, I've given everybody the ability to move threads out of that forum -- once out, you must have privileges in the destination forum to move it again. You can move by clicking 'Thread Tools' in the upper right, and then 'Move Thread' should be there. I've disabled deleting of posts & threads in that forum, since if a discussion thread is deleted .. CD-Media will freak out. CD-Media is aware of the thread and will prevent errors, but the thread is not aware of CD-Media and will leave things in an invalid state (for now).

Please remember to use double quotes when tagging names and other 2-3 word phrases.

Don't tag names of people that worked on the robot, or took the picture of the robot -- only include add their name if they are in the photo or discussed in the White Paper (Chairman's Award Essays, etc).

Please add a good title to your images -- it defaults to the file name, but you are encouraged to change it on the next screen, as well as add a description.

Re: CD-Media
 

Not to be a buzzkill...but I personally, do not really like it. I mean I know my voice isn't going to change it, so I know I'm going to have to deal with it (which I'm not complaining about, cuz heck...free speech in the US, correct?). Just thought that you should know.
Still love CD though,
