The new Grexer Gallery site is at http://www.grexergallery.net121 responses total.
This is the first item I've ever entered and I didn't know quite how to do it. Well the title speaks for itself. I just wanted to make a couple things clear before everyone starts discussing the site. The new site is version 1.9. Meaning that it is still under construction, but since the one year anniversary was on August 17th, I had to launch it early. If you join the GG Net forum, you can read about the bugs that we are working on. Mike (kornnut) and I have been working on this site, off and on, since April of this year. Slowly, we managed to make this site mostly dynamic. I won't have to create an html page for each picture i receive, people will be able to upload their own pictures, there is an online forum for GGNet, pictures have been sorted out and placed into their respective categories and it's a new look! Mike is mainly responsible for the php coding. I'm focused more on the navigation and design of the website. I'm happy to say we work well together. Anyway, please be aware that if you don't see your picture up on the new site, that just means I haven't gotten to posting your picture yet. I'm going through every single picture and sorting it out, adding captions. Deleting redudant information, etc. Also if you don't see it on the main list, it is probably somewhere in the other categories like Family, Cars, Pets and so forth. Well enjoy!
Yay for the new Grex Gallery!!
The file upload has probs.
re #3: you never said what kind of problems. Hey everyone should sign on on the GGNet forum ;)
Thanks for putting all the work into that site.
Re #5: I love Grex!
It says that my jpeg file is not a png jpg or gif formatted picture.
So what kind of file are you trying to upload? Did you make sure to click on 'Browse' to search for the right file?
I couldn't access the site. "The page cannot be displayed"
Wow. The Grexer Gallery Forum is a total meta conferencing site. How arcane.
A .jpg file. A picture. Yes, I clicked on Browse and selected the only .jpg in the directory, but still got the error message. I mailed it to you ifn you want to be sure it's of the right type. Am I the only one who has gotten this error?
I'm getting this error: You have come to this page in error. Sorry the special code you entered was not the same as the one expected by the system. There are two potential causes (1) you entered the wrong code (2) the picture with the code that was displayed on the last page had an old code, please try again. I entered the code it said, so not sure what I'm doing wrong.
resp:11 - No, I tried a couple of times and received the same error, that my file wasn't a jpg gif or png, even though it was a jpeg. I just gave up, though.
Hmm. Momo, fix your site!! kidding. It's a great site, glitches are expected, and I'm sure they are being worked on
It's still "beta", after all. Nice site, and I'm sure the glitches are temporary.
I'm guessing the " file wasn't a jpg gif or png " has to do with the size of the file. I just noticed that there isn't any indication on how big the file should be when uploading. Working on that. The error " Sorry the special code you entered was not the same as the one expected" is a new one and I will have to let Mike know about that one. It wasn't hard to see was it? What kind of browser were you using? Same question goes for furs, who couldn't display the page. What browser are you using? I *did* notice a new file in the server in the uploads directory. A 'jeanne.gif' , something like that, but it's weird because I didn't receive a email about it.
Oh, the picture I received was from furs ;) through the Uploads feature. Talked to mike about the Uploads error and he's working on it. He says : "The problem with the uploads appears to be an Internet Explorer specific problem. Mozilla works fine, Netscape should work (I haven't tested it). IE doesn't appear to be setting the file type correctly (if at all). I'm working on it right now. File uploads are limited to 300KB's if I remember correctly."
I received yet another picture through the Uploads feature, from micklpkl!
The upload feature just worked fine for me, with the same 11KB .jpg I tried with errors, yesterday. This new site looks wonderful, Morena! Kudos to both you and kornnut.
I can access the site now, and I agree, it looks terrific!
Re: #12 - This should be corrected unless you actually typed in an incorrect special code. The problem was caused by the caching of the special code picture. I've worked around the caching problem now and each time you go to the page that displays the special code you should see a different picture with a new code. I had fixed this a week ago but somehow (in my constant work on the site from different locations) I overwrote some of my changes including the workaround for the caching problem.
Re: #13 - This should be corrected for the most popular browsers (IE, mozilla, netscape). This problem was caused by the fact that different browsers set the file type differently. I was doing my development testing with mozilla so I never saw a problem because I was only testing with one browser. If you are using a browser other than the three listed, let me know and I'll test and fix the problem for that browser. An adde FYI: lynx can't be used to upload pictures because the special code is sent to the user via a picture. This is done to keep the upload option available to everyone and make it more difficult to script something to spam us with tons of pictures. If spaming does happen we will probably have to take the upload option down.
Re #10: Pretty funny, really.
Ok I got smart and instead of making multiple posts this one post will have multiple responses: Re: #16 - The file in the upload directory without a notification is probably due to a bug where I don't delete the file if the user enters an incorrect special code. I'll fix that tonight because it defeats the purpose of the special code! Re: #19 - Yep it should work, IE specific fixes went in just before you posted here that you had success with an upload. Thanks for the Kudos. Re: #10 - I sense a bit of sarcasm, but it's hard to infer such a thing with these archane meta conferencing tools. ;)
Re: #24 re #16 - fixed. Now the special code actually means something. :)
I've updated the file upload on www.grexergallery.net. If you experience problems please let me know via this item or via the forums at grexergallery.net. The new upload page is less work for you (only one button push to upload) and it has some more error checking.
RE#10 -- what is a "total meta conferencing site" and how is that arcane?
It worked for me today.
Yes I received your picture today and I have posted it. I also posted novomit's pictures ;) He's got some cute GrowingUp pictures.
resp:10, resp:27 :: morena has built a conferencing site which exists to discuss a conferencing site.

It's sort of like meta-theater, hence the joke.
This response has been erased.
re resp:30: We need a conference for discussing the conference about the Grex Gallery.
hehehehe Noooo I would never want to replace Grex ;)
Ok, I think I am done updating all the pictures. I didn't add captions to everyone's picture. If anyone wants to add a caption to their picture, let me know, I can't do that. Or if you want to change yours, let me know as well. Remember, send your pictures, the new email for pics is pics@grexergallery.net
Looks like my photo submission got misplaced, I'll send another copy.
Misplaced? I have two of your pictures up. The one with your wife is under Family and the one with your rifle is under Hobbies.
This response has been erased.
No prob.
I have posted new pictures of Family/Growing up for anilov, susieque, tod, cb311, novomit, micklpkl, kornnut and myself. It's gonna take us a little longer to figure out how to put the astericks on new and updated pictures. For now I will just have to post in here and let you guys know what's new or updated. I will also post it in the GGnet forum.
Your baby picture is adorable!!
Susieque says it looks like a 'feed the children' picture hhahhaa
hey! where's MIJ picture?!
MIJ?
Men In Jeans?
Dutch phonetic spelling of my?
MY
Under Artwork, I believe. Momo, I sent one for the artwork section, did you get it?
but that's a picture of ME.
A picture that's drawn
Indeed. I would like to see an actual picture of YOU, Your Shyness.
no.
I've added an artwork picture of Sapna (mynxcat).
This response has been erased.
never seen void, so I would have no idea.
Well, it does, so now you _do_ have an idea. ;)
for reasons of privacy i am unable to post my photograph, hence the portrait. i ahve another more lifelike portrait also which also resembles me. i request this be included, and i'm sorry i won't send a real photo, it's not because i am shy.
well, shucks! Not to nitpick and all, but can you explain how a photo would be compromising your privacy (folks would be beating down your door)? I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just trying to get your personal perspective.
Maybe she has a stalker, and doesn't want to be identified?
for reasons of privacy i cannot answer this question ;P
My friend was an undercover cop for a while, and he was not allowed to let anyone take a picture of him for any reason. Some jobs have pretty strict rules. There's also the witness protection program. :)
I am also an undercover cop .. the pic on the site is not my own :)
This response has been erased.
we aren't allowed to let anyone take our pictures on the border, either.
This response has been erased.
Whatever. My imagination is running wild now.
geez, tod, how'd you guess?!?!
This response has been erased.
Mullet version of void? I might just have that picture removed :P (What I really thought cool was the busty upper body option that site offered when building your lego person. Really cool ;: )
This response has been erased.
lego my eggo
bust=porn?
It was in how it was said.
If undercover cops can't have their pictures taken, wouldn't an undercover cop refusing to have their picture taken blow their cover?
This response has been erased.
Re #75: Good point. I'll remember that if I ever need to figure out whether someone is a cop. ;>
whats the site where you can make your lego person?
Just for you Carrie, I dug it up - http://www.reasonablyclever.com/mini/index.html
aww, thanks
Hey the only site you should promote is my site!! ARG!!! :P
So I don't know if any of you noticed but I did post Oval's life drawing under Grexers, a Family picture of susieque, and other Grexer pictures of Ball, Asif23, Prabhat and a Hobby picture of Roint. We're still working on the astericks feature for new/updated pictures, so sorry if it takes you a while to find the pictures.
I think that you and Mike are doing a terrific job with the new site.
I agree. It looks great! good work Momo. I love you And back to promotion - go to http://www.grexergallery.net to see what the grexers look like. And don't forget to stop by the forums

My sweet Mynxie graces the pet page. I should send in more pictures of her.

How did those things get to be called "wifebeaters", anyway?
This response has been erased.

Tod, I have those same pj's! AGH!
Complete with wife-beater?
Actually.. yeah but the shoulder straps are 'spaghetti strings' :P
Not a wife-beater then ;)

I just uploaded a bunch of pictures to the various areas. It's a really cool site. :)
Sapna put me to work and i added the following: Asif23 - artwork picture Barnali - Grexer picture Michaela - Grexer/Pet picture Mynxcat - Pet Picture Techlinu - Grexer (but i can't tell who's techlinu there.. I will have to email him) Viper2 - Grexer Picture That's it for now!
Maybe techlinu's should be in artwork and hobbies, or lifestyles?
Yeah, I realized that after i had postededededed it.
Hm. I'm hurt, Jazz put up his real picture on his yahoo profile but didn't upload a real picture of him for the Grexer Gallery site. ;( He must be trying to attract all the hot girls on yahoo.
What's his user id on yahoo?

It may take me about a week to update pictures because I hardly spend time at home these days due to long days at school. So sorry if I can't update as fast sometimes :P (sapna) :P I have some pictures sitting on the queue for me to upload. Just thought I'd let ya know.
Hey take your time ;) (You make me sound like a slave driver :P )
(...instead of a PORNOGRAPHER.)
YEAH, first a pornographer and now a slave driver! What's next! ;)
Whatever.
bordello madam?
And more pictures.. Asif23 - Grexers Aubrey - Grexers Clees - Events Danielle - Family Debayan1 - Lifestyle Michaela - Grexers Srw - Family Susieque - Family Jaklumen - Family I also post these updates on the forum if you happen to be there.
Where's oval'spic? she said she uploaded it and i didn't see srw's picture in family
New pictures are bizzarrely hard to find now.
Yeah I know dah, only because we haven't implemented the astericks feature. Shouldn't be hard to find if i am giving you the categories where you can find the new pictures. For now. I accidentally deleted oval's new picture that she sent me of her back facing the camera. Can you resend? Thanks.
You have several choices:
