How do I get my photo added to the gallery? Contact Gort, Guardian of the Ship Photos.

What format of photo should I send? Ideally, a jpeg about 400 pixels wide and between 400 and 600 pixels deep. The previews are small and generated automatically, so, if you want to be recognisable at that scale, go for a "head and shoulders" shot.

Hey, I have this great photo of my neighbour/ dog/ house/ a really neat traction engine I saw at a steam fair. We are really happy for you, but the idea of the Gallery is to display photos of shipmates.

I want to post my photo for shipmates to see, but I don't want to end up in Google. You should be ok, because only registered users can view the web pages, but note that this is not military-grade protection, and all bets are off if another shipmate decides to link to or copy the photos. In other words, don't post anything that really mustn't get into the public domain.

Read the FAQs for details but basically all comments will be displayed under your picture along with the enamoured poster's name...so be nice! I can edit any offensive stuff at your discretion or mine. Just PM and I'll have a look-see as soon as I can.

Remember to check out the "edit profile" button which will only appear with your picture. You can display a blurb banner with it.

It 'sposed to be for fun, shippies! Enjoy!

As a fully signed up computer-illiterate technophobe, I need to ask...What's that?

---

A cache is a store of files on your computer (occasionally, especially in an office with a central internet server and fast intranet, there could be a cache on a server). It's there to speed up internet access, if the page your accessing is the same as the one in your cache it doesn't need to be loaded again. What appears to be happening is that your computer is failing to notice that the copy of the menu bar it has is different to the new version, and it's using that version rather than the correct one.

The simplest solution is to empty your cache, ie: delete the file it has forcing it to load the new one. If you're using Internet Explorer, select "Internet Options..." from the Tools menu and then in the "Temporary Internet Files" section of the General tab click "delete files".
 

---

Posted by JonahMan (# 12126) on :
 
Hitting the Refresh icon is even easier (this worked for me anyway). I'm using Firefox, where the icon is two arrows swirling round each other; I can't exactly remember what it looks like in Internet Explorer but I think it is similar.

As far as I know, clicking Refresh forces the browser to reload the page from the webserver rather than using a cached version, so should do the trick.

Posted by Melon (# 4038) on :
 
Caches are a bit of a pain. I've recently upgraded to Firefox 2, and sometimes it just won't look for a new stylesheet whatever I do. IE used to be absolutely terrible in this respect, but has improved. You can set options somewhere so that IE will check for a new version of the file every single time (at the cost of slightly more traffic - it won't actually download the file again unless it has changed). The really bad caches are the ones your ISP sticks on its transparent proxies - there's really very little you can do about them.

• Littlelady

Thanks, again, for your photos, everyone! I've tried to crop the photos so that they appear as portraits as much as possible. Remember that if you send a picture of your smiling visage within a large photo that includes too much landscape, it may result in a much smaller graphic (and relatively fuzzy) when I crop your portrait from the sample. Closeup single shots of just you are best!

Personally I'm really fond of those "I took this picture myself!" photos (mine is one... I have a collection of them; I just wish the one I took at Stonehenge was better).

There is a distinct male / female bias on the initial letter of peoples screen name. All the 'N's in the gallery are female, others are mostly male.

Hi Melon! I've done all I can with my limited editing skills but there are still 22 portraits that are too small (dyfrig's for example) and others that are slightly out of focus, bad lighting, etc.

There doesn't seem to be a major ground-swell of support for a 'new additions' page, so it may not be worth the trouble coding.

BTW, UKCanuck is the latest addition to our rogue's gallery! Welcome!

For some reason, I can't load all of the Styx threads when logged-in; also missing are the second and third pages. The "Shipmates Gallery" thread is gone unless I view the first page while lurking. All three pages appear then. This problem doesn't happen on any other SoF boards.

If I "post reply" from the lurker state (as I'm doing now) the normal message window appears where I can enter login name and password.

When this first happened, I thought that Styx had been cleaned out so I started a "New Gallery Portraits here in All Saints. Sorry for the confusion. Perhaps someone could close this one?

This 'seasonal affective' business seems to be contagious. I haven't been this busy with the Gallery for months!

At the risk of diverting the spotlight from Sine's savage contenance, Kepler's Puppet has updated his portrait to share his new toupeé!

Please feel free, fellow shipmates, to share your updated photos or new submittals during this orgy of attention whoredom. I would like to take the opportunity, during these dark and dreary (northern) days, to propose a pledge drive for the Organ Fund. The idea is very simple. You pledge to donate X amount to the fund on the condition a shipmate of your choice submits a portrait of themself. What say you?

I'll pony up seed money for the effort by pledging $50 if our inimitable admin, Erin, reveals her lovely self!

I have a photo of myself in a Paris hotel room, taken by my good friend while I was coming out of the closet... sounds ever so wicked, eh?! If it weren't for the risk of the dazzling acreage of my midrift causing snowblindness, I might scan it and post it...

Presumably if there was no-one currently able to take over, the gallery could sit there with us all in frozen animation, until someone is able to come forward with the right amount of time and know-how in the future. I'm all in favour of not growing any older.....

Thanks, duch and DaisyM, for the kind remarks! Gwai, I'm sure you could handle the awesome workload and responsibilities, just fine! I was hoping a volunteer could be found soon so that Simon and Melon would be inconvenienced as little as possible during the Christmas season. A new editor may generate a surge in gallery interest! Suggestions, anyone?

Posted by Lynn MagdalenCollege (# 10651) on :
 
All of us appreciate your work, Gort (well, except for those who don't-- ).

And I thought Gwai volunteered? That's my brilliant idea - the Ship take Gwai up on her offer-- YES!

Yes, the position is open. Gwai and anyone else interested should contact Simon and Melon. I'm not choosing a successor.

I'm pleased to announce Simon's official confirmation of Gwai as new Gallery editor! New shippies and veterans should consider submitting your photos so she has something to practice with!

Thanks, Gwai, for taking the position! Hope you have as much fun as I did!

I'm not sure how long it will take to change email links on the Gallery page for submittals, but in the meantime... send her a PM if you have one to share!

My apologies Gort, Gwai & Hosts/Admins

The comments were clearly inappropriate

I guess I was behaving somewhat like a dog with a bone and hadn't realised I'd strayed into the Living Room.

And Gort, thanks for all your work in the Gallery and congrats/appreciation to Gwai.

How is having that sort of photo different than just posting a picture of your dog or cat? I thought photos in the gallery are really supposed to be us.
 

---

Posted by Zappa (# 8433) on :
 
Oh. I was following Erin's lead, I guess. Anonymity is a gift of God, anonymity blended with what I thought was humour is a use of that gift. But I guess it may defeat the purpose of the gallery if realism is the issue.

I personally wouldn't have had a problem, for example, with PaulH's dog photo, though there seems to have been some disparity between the claim it was a pic of his dog and the appearance of it in other locations around the ether. At least I took the photo!

If Gallery management don't want my new visage they can of course remove it.
 

---

Posted by Gort (# 6855) on :
 
I'm guilty of posting Erin's 'gator pic during one of those admin & host day extravaganzas when I posted joke photos of several shipmates and never took her's down. I was hoping she would submit a real portrait but all efforts at bribery or extortion have failed.

Pease's is the only other non-portrait and he uploaded it himself during the test phase. RooK's is also my unauthorized handiwork (ripped off his website). I believe Simon would prefer that submittals be up-close portraits without extra characters in the shot but there are a couple that include babies, etc. It's up to Gwai's discretion now!

Posted by Zappa (# 8433) on :
 
Okay - I'll roll with the judges' decision - I don't want to create a Bad Precedent™ because this is a particularly bad time of year to make the baby Jesus cry

---

Posted by Gwai (# 11076) on :
 
I am thinking I will follow any expressed preferences by the admins and failing any, will do ask the users ask. Personally, I don't imagine a sudden switch of tons of people to silly pictures. Probably most people who submitted pictures don't want/need anonymity after all.
 

---

Posted by Gort (# 6855) on :
 
Just to clarify, I don't think it's a big deal! I have rejected some offbeat photos like one of a gorilla wearing a mitre... did you get that one too, Gwai?
 

---

Posted by Zappa (# 8433) on :
 
I've had a couple of episcopoi to whom that gorilla pic could apply, though I don't think it was I wot sent it. But thanks, all - I won't be self-harming or anyfink if my glamourous self-portrait is vaporised.

No rugby spirit involved - though we did both feel the spirit moving within before the reception had ended. Judging by the next morning, it was an evil spirit...

Gwai, I'm sorry that you've had to deal with this fallout. I've emailed you a likeness of myself which Spike and Tubbs will be able to vouch for. Plus another 60-odd UK based Shipmates.

Many thanks for all of your hard work.

Indeed I had taken SPK down to adjust the size and resolution of the picture, so the server hadn't refreshed yet. However, I had the other two up and didn't want to delay longer since SPK sent in his picture two days ago. I was hoping the server would pick him up before anyone noticed .

Eh? I'm up now. Do you need a different file Gwai? I trimmed the file you have down from a 2 MB one from my digital camera.
 

---

Posted by Gwai (# 11076) on :
 
No, what we have up looks good I think.
I first popped up the picture you sent without any handling and it looked a bit pixelated, so I took it down and shrunk its width and height and that solved it.

I think it was established rather early on in Gallery history that no pictures of non-shipmates would be allowed.

If you want to show off your cat, establish a link in your signature.

Posted by jlg (# 98) on :
 
Not dead. The cat has achieved "zero brainwave activity", sort of a cat nirvana state. It's an especially tricky thing when two sibling cats (often a male/female pair) share a single brain cell. Not having possession of the single brain cell is not the same thing as achieving zero brainwave activity.
