GregP: There was a thread a few months ago of how slow PG was getting, and how come it was going down all the time. Even if we all have DSL, it would still take time to load all the pics. At least that's what i think, unless i'm the only one experiencing it and everyone who did complain about PG being slow doesn't have this problem anymore.

everyone hosts there pictures externally so that wouldn't affect PG bandwidth.
how many times does it have to be written in plain english before the wannabee intellectuals get it?
load times for threads get slower when more images are posted...end of story...capishe?i don't care if another site IS hosting the pic...pg thread load times are still affected.
anyway...have all the fun you want looking silly...we have been over this same thing enough that if you don't get it,you never will.
as always...if you don't like the rules,go play on stereokiller.com or something
and by the way...it is "their"
i would love for you to talk to me like that to my face.
i have to delete your hissy fit.it looks like you broke some rules after all,now didn't you?
but don't worry.i copied it in all it's glory for leisurely perusal in the mod section.i assure you we will all get a big laugh about it
***YAWN***
that really bothers me honest.
Edited profanity.....BP

in theory it works, but then you would have to upload the pictures here, which is going to cause the use of alot more of PGs bandwidth.

I think there's a happy middle ground somewhere, but I dunno.
No way am I going through my Project Lucy thread to edit it. If a mod wants to do that, they're welcome to though I'd like to be told in advance so that i can archive the thread first.
I know the matter isn't even up for debate right now, so any arguments here are purely academic-->
-600 X 600 is way more than enough. I like pics even smaller than that, actually.
-However, if I open someone's progress thread, it's because I want to see pictures. It used to be a burning-at-the-stake offence if you opened up such a thread and there were no pics.
-Therefore, it's actually MORE work and MORE hassle to have to click each of those pics separately, then close the window that's been opened for it, and also to try to get the context of the picture. When I see someone write, "Notice where I flubbed and got some tear-out" I'd rather just see the tear-out right in front of me.
I dunno. Since all of would generally like to see the pics anyhow, I don't see why not just have them posted. I think it's actually accomplishing the opposite intended goal. The idea is that dial-up people won't have to wait while the thread loads. But I'm not on dial-up, the majority of us aren't on dial-up, and the ones that ARE on dial-up are usually still clicking those links anyhow. On the other hand, even though I have a speedy connection, I DO NOT open all of the links, because it's annoying to have to do so, even though in fact I DO want to see the pics.
The way I see it, there are 2 different middle grounds:
1. Allow more threads per post, but make sure they're not hi-res
2. Keep the 1 picture per thread post, but enforce a rule whereby the links are described. I'm not going to click "http://www.myphotos.com/Kevan_2005/guitarpicture1.jpg" unless I know what that link is. You should need to put a description along with each link.
In situation #1, there will always be people who (for whatever reason) go overboard, and that'll be a hassle.
In situation #2, there will always be people who are too lazy to write descriptions, but that's where we're already at.
Since either is a decent solution, and neither will be strictly followed all the time by all people, it strikes me that #1 will still be the better option for the majority of the users, who either a) have hi-speed; or want to see the pics and would click the links anyhow.
The ONLY demographic that the current rule appeals to is: people with dial-up who don't want to see most of the pictures.
That's a pretty limited demographic, and I find it weird that they're the group that would be catered to.
However, until I hear differently, I'll make more effort to limit my pics to 1 per post. I'm sure my in-progress thread will be worse for it, but that's life.

i 100% agree.
-
i wouldnt pay anymore than 30-40% less than brand new price, so yeah i think your price is a little steap.

i respect the members here, with a few exceptions, i respect the guys that donate and brian for keeping this place going, what i dont respect is petty rules, idiot members that jump on people for posting 5 pictures in there threads and moderators that think because they have the "power" to close, edit or sticky a thread they are a cut above the rest.
Dude you are way out of line here. Put yourself in the Mod place. You are giving your time for free, and are only to check the forum and make sure that the rules that Brian and the others have palced on it. This is all they are doing, so I don't know why you are complaining so much, since this has been disscussed atleast once a month.
It is simple, there are rules everywere, and to keep the order you just have to abide to them. I don't like driving at the speed limit, and I still have too. If you want to place a4 pics on the post, do Like I do, I size them so that if I put all 4 together they won't be more than 600x600, and I haven't had anybody complain yet, but the ones that Jeremy is talking about had a lot of pics, well over 1000, I usualy just scroll thru them, since I find it a hassle to just slide side to side then up and down to see the whole pic.
They might be petty rules, but they are rules and when you registered into the forum, you basicly said that you will obey them, basicly. I don't think it's such a burden to comply.
have i broken any rules?
have i disputed the 600x600 limit?
i just dont like posts with 10-15 links to pictures, when the could all be on one page, i prefer it much better like that.
-
lol yeah first thing i thought was Cheap Trick, very nice
-
but the one pic per post i think is bollocks.
Well frankly it doesn't really matter what you think. lol. Kevan has set it up this way and we need to respect it.

I don't have any idea what "Demensions" are, I don't think you should get any until you learn to spell the word correctly LOL
thats uncalled for, this forum seems to be turning into MusicianForums everyone flaming everyone over the smallest of things.

DuffBeerMan how are you attaching the plastic to the body?
-

Hello there, im thinking of making a guitar with a mirror top, but mirror is a bit impractical, is there some kinof plexiglass that looks like a mirror? or maybe a small veneer of polished metal?
any idea?
-
ok I talked to him last night and he says forget the whole punk thing. He says he wants a guitar than can play alot of styles. I sugested a tom anderson droptop. What do you think of tom anderson guitars? I havent played one personally but all my favrite bands play them and all I've heard is good things about them. I heard one live a couple of times and it sounds freakin awesome played through a matchless or badcat amp.
i would tell him to save his money, he clearly doesnt no what he wants! and 1500 is alot of money is your note 100% sure..

im not religious, i just see him as an old man whos time had come, its sad but its the way the world go round. i do share one thing incommon with the pope, he and i are both hockey fans!
-
nice, now instead of being able to few the pictures on one page we have to click 30 links.

I have played alot of good shines (well one guitar and 2 bass's) and the quality is good, they play very well, so if they make some of your guitars i may very well purchase one. Im in the UK, any idea of how much shipping would be or where i could get a SD230 from, i really want one it looks soooooo nice.
I wish I could tell you that there was a dealer in the UK right now but there isnt.
I am getting $44 for shipping to the UK.
Ach, thats too steep for me, next time im in the US (might be near xmas, in NewJersey) I'll get one. Thanks for the info tho, can you tell me when you have a UK dealer please.
dude.. $44 dollars is like £25, and most shops in the UK charge 15-20 for delivery....
thats a good shipping price!

it looks cool but. Your only supposed to post one pic per post and the size cant exceed 600 pixels on any side. Those pics are HUGE and there eating up site bandwidth. If you just replace the IMG tage with the url to the image it would be fine.
the pics are hosted externaly so the are not eating PGs bandwidth.

it was between the metal guitar and maidens, but maidens was a 7 stringer which i dont like lol so i voted for the metal one.
-
hey, what kind of bridge is that, and where can i get one?

that would make the picture look smaller but it wouldnt affect its size so it would take just as long to load
