I still can't get my head around the instant picture uploading either. Perhaps it's the size of photos or using a Mac.

Hi Oli, thanks for your feeback. Much appreciated.
Some things have just been modified a bit. Can you test this by trying to upload a pic of a R5 pls, directly from your Mac

Hey all. Thanks for the invite, I want to poke around for a few days and really get a feel for things before I give any constructive feedback. The idea is great and something that the hobby really needs. I love the hybrid idea and really hope this takes off!!

Thanks for signing up Gary.
Like you we hope we can get this project from the ground with the community and let if fly.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Cheers
Marco

Welcome Mr Gary Greedo! Glad you joined up mate! Hopefully someone with your passion and knowledge sticks around and helps us build this forum into something really special.

OK I'm trying it in this message. The file is selected in the attachments but I'm not seeing it in the message box or preview.

OK looks like it worked though and i see you increased the upload size too.

Thank you Oli, test succeeded (and a nice R5 figure too!  ).

At this moment we can't have a preview of uploaded pics just prior to posting.
But we will work on it.

Does it also work from your phone?

Hi lads, thanks for having me, just wanted to say the very best of luck with the new forum and happy christmas to all.

Test

OK it works from my phone too. Sorry these were the only photos I had on my iphone at the time :-)

G'day Aussie Fortuna and Gary. Good to see you guys over here too

That's great Oli, thanks for testing!  

And welcome aboard from Down Under, Tony!!

Just to add that on the mobile you have to hit Choose file twice for some reason. And also no preview is visible so it looks like nothing is being uploaded. It's great that you can upload multiple photos though.

Re the forums / subforums. So you have to click on the subforum Vintage Star Wars Chat to find the subforum for limelight and Other vintage items. Seems really odd. I really don't think there are that many subforums that necessitate having to hide some or make them less visible. Personally I think it makes it a little hard to locate things. The forum page on Rebelscum works well and and is a good example of how to keep it clean and easy to use.

Also, I don't want to yak on about Rebelscum but hopefully if i point out some of  the good things you might add them over here too. When you add people as friends, their posts show up in your feed so it's also kind of like friends or following people on facebook. Always liked that facility as it draws you to the interesting conversation in subforums you might otherwise not notice.

Funny you mention this Oli because I was thinking the exact same thing when I was on RS today. Will see if this is possible here as well.

Ian, sorry for the late reply.  I've been scrambling with work for the last couple of days.

I will definitely send you a PM when we set up and get started on the team projects of MOC's, with the information we will be collecting from them as well.

I have a big piece of gray cloth that James sent me.  I should be able to share a piece from it.   And I have extra pieces of the gray crafting foam sheets that I've been using as well.  Everyone's background colour is a little bit different anyway.  Just as long as it's mid shade gray, anything should be good.

I think the team would love to have the Droids and Ewoks lines added into the Library.  I don't think anyone has any of them at the moment.

No worries Clint. No rush, as I can't really access them easily until after Christmas, like I said.

You ever in the Hamilton/Brantford area? If you are, we could maybe arrange a meeting time if you do have some extra of that gray material you can share. My car is dead and I'm stuck sharing the wife's van, so getting to you in Cambridge is tricky.

I have all the Droids/Ewoks loose, complete, and mint. If this was February, I'd have 15 of the 18 carded, minus the two droids and Fett, but necessity made me sell them.

I'm hoping to get down to Hamilton over the Christmas holiday's and stop in and see Jeff @ Koolstuff. I'm in need of some modern beaters for customizing. I also make it down to the Oshweken speedway a few times in the fall to watch the Sprint cars race. My brother-in law & nephew's also have raced some stock cars there, for the past few years.

I'll have to let you know when I'm heading that way.
