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!!


#3 of 121 by novomit on Mon Aug 18 19:00:15 2003:

The file upload has probs. 


#4 of 121 by munkey on Mon Aug 18 20:21:33 2003:

re #3: you never said what kind of problems. Hey everyone should sign on on
the GGNet forum ;)


#5 of 121 by slynne on Mon Aug 18 21:09:00 2003:

Thanks for putting all the work into that site. 


#6 of 121 by munkey on Mon Aug 18 21:42:08 2003:

Re #5: I love Grex!


#7 of 121 by novomit on Tue Aug 19 00:45:16 2003:

It says that my jpeg file is not a png jpg or gif formatted picture. 


#8 of 121 by munkey on Tue Aug 19 00:58:27 2003:

So what kind of file are you trying to upload? Did you make sure to click on
'Browse' to search for the right file?


#9 of 121 by jep on Tue Aug 19 01:36:01 2003:

I couldn't access the site.  "The page cannot be displayed"


#10 of 121 by janc on Tue Aug 19 01:55:40 2003:

Wow.  The Grexer Gallery Forum is a total meta conferencing site.  How arcane.


#11 of 121 by novomit on Tue Aug 19 11:19:57 2003:

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? 


#12 of 121 by furs on Tue Aug 19 11:49:19 2003:

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.


#13 of 121 by micklpkl on Tue Aug 19 13:51:30 2003:

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.


#14 of 121 by mynxcat on Tue Aug 19 15:26:54 2003:

Hmm. Momo, fix your site!!

kidding. It's a great site, glitches are expected, and I'm sure they 
are being worked on


#15 of 121 by remmers on Tue Aug 19 16:44:27 2003:

It's still "beta", after all.  Nice site, and I'm sure the glitches
are temporary.


#16 of 121 by munkey on Tue Aug 19 17:31:53 2003:

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. 



#17 of 121 by munkey on Tue Aug 19 17:44:07 2003:

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."



#18 of 121 by munkey on Tue Aug 19 17:46:41 2003:

I received yet another picture through the Uploads feature, from micklpkl!


#19 of 121 by micklpkl on Tue Aug 19 17:47:32 2003:

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.


#20 of 121 by jep on Wed Aug 20 02:11:13 2003:

I can access the site now, and I agree, it looks terrific!


#21 of 121 by kornnut on Wed Aug 20 03:06:13 2003:

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.


#22 of 121 by kornnut on Wed Aug 20 03:13:07 2003:

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.


#23 of 121 by jmsaul on Wed Aug 20 03:14:24 2003:

Re #10:  Pretty funny, really.


#24 of 121 by kornnut on Wed Aug 20 03:22:04 2003:

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. ;)


#25 of 121 by kornnut on Wed Aug 20 03:50:30 2003:

Re: #24 re #16 - fixed.  Now the special code actually means something. :)


#26 of 121 by kornnut on Wed Aug 20 09:04:07 2003:

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. 


#27 of 121 by goose on Wed Aug 20 14:51:39 2003:

RE#10 -- what is a "total meta conferencing site" and how is that arcane?


#28 of 121 by furs on Wed Aug 20 16:34:43 2003:

It worked for me today.


#29 of 121 by munkey on Wed Aug 20 17:28:06 2003:

Yes I received your picture today and I have posted it. I also posted
novomit's pictures ;) He's got some cute GrowingUp pictures.

to  discuss a conferencing site.

the Grex Gallery.


#35 of 121 by munkey on Wed Aug 20 21:48:09 2003:

hehehehe
Noooo I would never want to replace Grex ;)


#36 of 121 by munkey on Wed Aug 20 23:49:39 2003:

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


#37 of 121 by mvpel on Thu Aug 21 14:45:48 2003:

Looks like my photo submission got misplaced, I'll send another copy.


#38 of 121 by munkey on Thu Aug 21 17:11:49 2003:

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.

No prob.


#41 of 121 by munkey on Thu Aug 21 21:03:29 2003:

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.


#42 of 121 by mynxcat on Fri Aug 22 00:24:55 2003:

Your baby picture is adorable!!


#43 of 121 by munkey on Fri Aug 22 07:26:15 2003:

Under Artwork, I believe. 

Momo, I sent one for the artwork section, did you get it?


#50 of 121 by oval on Tue Aug 26 16:10:45 2003:

but that's a picture of ME.



#51 of 121 by mynxcat on Tue Aug 26 17:20:02 2003:

A picture that's drawn


#52 of 121 by jaklumen on Wed Aug 27 05:02:01 2003:

Indeed.  I would like to see an actual picture of YOU, Your Shyness.


#53 of 121 by oval on Wed Aug 27 10:52:59 2003:

no.



#54 of 121 by munkey on Fri Aug 29 16:55:04 2003:

Well, it does, so now you _do_ have an idea. ;)


#58 of 121 by oval on Mon Sep 1 14:38:36 2003:

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. 



#59 of 121 by jaklumen on Tue Sep 2 02:38:03 2003:

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.


#60 of 121 by jmsaul on Tue Sep 2 02:49:11 2003:

Maybe she has a stalker, and doesn't want to be identified?


#61 of 121 by oval on Tue Sep 2 14:24:25 2003:

for reasons of privacy i cannot answer this question ;P



#62 of 121 by michaela on Tue Sep 2 15:52:22 2003:

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. :)


#63 of 121 by sholmes on Tue Sep 2 15:55:32 2003:

I am also an undercover cop .. the pic on the site is not my own :)

offered when building your lego person. Really cool ;: )

It was in how it was said.


#75 of 121 by scg on Thu Sep 4 07:16:01 2003:

If undercover cops can't have their pictures taken, wouldn't an undercover
cop refusing to have their picture taken blow their cover?

Hey the only site you should promote is my site!! ARG!!! :P


#82 of 121 by munkey on Fri Sep 5 10:50:05 2003:

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.


#83 of 121 by remmers on Fri Sep 5 11:28:02 2003:

I think that you and Mike are doing a terrific job with the new site.


#84 of 121 by mynxcat on Fri Sep 5 14:41:36 2003:

I agree. It looks great! good work Momo. I love you

And back to promotion - go to http://www.grexergallery.net to see what

#106 of 121 by munkey on Fri Sep 12 20:49:42 2003:

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!


#107 of 121 by mynxcat on Fri Sep 12 20:56:53 2003:

Maybe techlinu's should be in artwork and hobbies, or lifestyles?


#108 of 121 by munkey on Fri Sep 12 22:15:38 2003:

Yeah, I realized that after i had postededededed it.


#109 of 121 by munkey on Fri Sep 12 22:37:07 2003:

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.

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.

and i didn't see srw's picture in family


#120 of 121 by dah on Sat Sep 20 01:01:31 2003:

New pictures are bizzarrely hard to find now.


#121 of 121 by munkey on Sat Sep 20 02:01:09 2003:

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.


There are no more items selected.

You have several choices:
