IotD changes Over the last few weeks I've been considering dropping IotD altogether. It's become a bit too much to handle, and I've gotten pretty tired after over six years of doing it. Clodfobble Sunday Nov 4 04:29 PM Quote:

Clodfobble Sunday Nov 4 04:30 PM Okay, knee-jerk joke out of the way, I have a question: Are photos from major news sites generally considered usable if a link to the story is provided? Drax Sunday Nov 4 04:30 PM Quote:

Undertoad Sunday Nov 4 06:07 PM All major news sites are not permitted. maximum Sunday Nov 4 10:46 PM I don't post on here very often, but I look at the Cellar IOTD every morning before work as I check my e-mail. It has become an integral part of my day! I often send links to particularly interesting pictures to my family and friends. Drax Sunday Nov 4 11:11 PMI don't think that'll happen. He's just leaving it up to us now. The question is what kind of pix are IOTD-worthy? LabRat Monday Nov 5 09:40 AM Read the archives...that's a good start . Coign Monday Nov 5 05:10 PM My thought is we don't grab or even image link to the cool picture but actually toss in a link to whatever picture, news report, or article that has the cool picture. lumberjim Monday Nov 5 09:15 PM Quote:
Undertoad Monday Nov 5 09:24 PM Near "thread tools" at the top of the thread. ViennaWaits Monday Nov 5 11:22 PMMaybe I'm not yet permitted to rate? Either that or I'm blind, cause I don't see it, either. lumberjim Monday Nov 5 11:31 PM yeah,...it ain't there. Undertoad Monday Nov 5 11:34 PM fuuhhhhhhh -- there it is. lumberjim Monday Nov 5 11:35 PM oh, sure.....NOW it's there. lumberjim Monday Nov 5 11:36 PM i voted terrible for this thread just to be a dick. how do we see what the overall rating is? Undertoad Monday Nov 5 11:44 PM They'll show on the forum index page: http://cellar.org/forumdisplay.php?f=10 Drax Monday Nov 5 11:51 PMMe sees it. Drax Tuesday Nov 6 12:04 AM It might be a rite inerstin ta be able ta' rate sum other threads. :redneck smile: ViennaWaits Tuesday Nov 6 12:12 AM Found it. Madman Tuesday Nov 6 01:49 PM IotD I hope you don't quit posting the IotD and I think it is a great idea that you opened it up. I can't imagine the amount of time you have spent "searching" and/or even "stumbling" upon pics to post here. Some of them are quite awesome. lumberjim Tuesday Nov 6 02:01 PM is there anything in place to prevent 2 people from posting an IotD thread on the same day....apart from common courtesy? Also, I'd think it would be rare that 2 people were creating them simultaneously and do it by accident...but possible. then again....i guess it soesnt really matter if it happens... ZenGum Thursday Nov 8 12:18 PM Regarding LJ's point, I had an idea... lumberjim Thursday Nov 8 12:31 PM ::moons the flagpole:: Undertoad Thursday Nov 8 01:13 PM The problem is that the bulletin board software make it really hard to code up external things that work with it, and then when you upgrade the software the external bits all break randomly. LJ Saturday Dec 29 01:12 AM i like the rating thing.......i think everyone forgot about it though Sperlock Saturday Dec 29 02:14 AM I think if the rate thread selection was a bit more visible, it would be easier to remember. I had to look around to find it. Granted, I don't know if the board can be configured to move or change the appearance of the rate thread selection. xoxoxoBruce Saturday Dec 29 10:00 AM I don't rate any of them. I don't know what's going to blow your skirt up, just read them all. Does anyone come here and just look at the IOtDs that have stars? monster Monday Feb 4 08:38 AM So was there a decision made on posting two on the same date? And is it poor sportsmanship (or something) to post a Feb 5 image when it's still very firmly Feb 4 right next to the dateline and evening of Feb 3 in the time zone of the poster? I've got two images I want to post (one from a few days ago and one from today), but as I found them both through the BBC, it takes time to find the original source etc.... well now we're already beyond tomorrow and I think what's the point? Even if I manage to find they're OK to post this afternoon, we might well be up to March on IotD, and I don't think that's how it's supposed to work. That's like getting an advent calendar with preopened doors. Clodfobble Monday Feb 4 12:19 PM Meh--it's been a solid run for a few days, but there have been many days when nothing's posted. I bet there will be another gap soon. I don't always post stuff I find right away, I don't think there's anything wrong with just holding onto it for a few days and posting at the next convenient time. monster Monday Feb 4 01:08 PM mumble..mumble..OK. can't find original owner details anyway, but it's still a bit of a "spoiled surprise" that pics are posted 2 days ahead mumble..mutter..whine..etc.... monster Tuesday Feb 5 11:55 PM One down, one to go -think the copyright on that may be against me, though. xoxoxoBruce Tuesday Feb 5 11:57 PM Tomorrow, as far as I'm concerned. monster Wednesday Feb 6 12:03 AM I already did that :p unchainedzulu Tuesday Feb 26 04:50 PM um... stink, becuase i just got here. HungLikeJesus Tuesday Feb 26 04:56 PM unchainedzulu, your link is broken. Shawnee123 Tuesday Feb 26 05:05 PM lol...that's why he's unchained! HungLikeJesus Tuesday Feb 26 05:17 PM Exactly: unchained = broken link Flint Tuesday Feb 26 05:19 PM I read that username as something like "unhcngzlu" . . . Shawnee123 Tuesday Feb 26 05:27 PMWell, then zulu's, and we win!
