[Fizzler]

Glad I'm not wearing my jumper in heritage round (because it's s**t).

 

[SilvaComet]

 

[Fizzler]

Just in case anyone else is making one, my home ground is the Whittlesea Showgrounds.

 

[Barrybran]

I'll (Gold Coast) play at Metricon. Screw the Suns.

 

[Jack Stevens]

All games are played at Waverly.

 

[Barrybran]

All games are played at Waverly.

Well Broome's ****ed then.

 

[fancyscum]

All games are played at Waverly.

Vic bias strikes again...
Wait, I'm a vic team? That sounds pretty fair.

 

[SilvaComet]

All games are played at Waverly.

We're not the AFL are we?

 

[rabbitoh21]

Sydney Exiles play out of Drummoyne Oval

There's been a bit of an issue with imgur. Some of you have used their embed feature, which has sucked a lot of the quality out of the images.

If you've been effected by this, please send me your original images embedded using BigFooty's "image" button. The image shouldn't hyperlink to imgur and it shouldn't have any imgur boarder around it, it should just be the image.

I am not using the new BigFooty media gallery.

C'mon, surely you can use the media gallery. Imgur's s**t anyway.

 

[Jack Stevens]

Imgur is fine when you know how to use it. The media gallery is too much stuffing around on my end.

 

[Gibbsy]

C'mon, surely you can use the media gallery. Imgur's s**t anyway.

I see zero use for the media gallery in comps at this point in time when embedding images like normal is easier and cleaner.

 

[Gibbsy]

Imgur compresses when you're not signed in to an Imgur account; no compression if you are.

 

[Freight Train]

Flickr is where it's at.

 

[Bacon Warrior]

We're not the AFL are we?

No. NAFL reserves are far more tyrannical.

 

[Jack Stevens]

Imgur compresses when you're not signed in to an Imgur account; no compression if you are.

I hadn't noticed that before, to be honest. This issue is more to do with Imgur's in house embedder, which is compressing the images more than my 120kbps version of the Marshall's Are Dead.

I'm more than happy for people to host their images on any website other than Imgur, as long as that website isn't BigFooty, for convenience's sake.

Their embedder sucks, evidently. If it is what I think you're talking about, they don't like people clicking through directly to the source because they can't reap that sweet sweet ad revenue, so to get the direct link (i.imgur.com etc) you have to hover over the top right of the image after you uploaded it and click "get share links"

Then they'll be there.

And is your Marshals version the original slower version or the shiny Paul Epworth version?

 

[Jack Stevens]

And is your Marshals version the original slower version or the shiny Paul Epworth version?

The original. I thought I'd replaced the file with a nice clean rip from the CD, but apparently not.

 

[Jack Stevens]

Fizzler, deleting your images from Imgur is not a solution.

 

[Fizzler]

Fizzler, deleting your images from Imgur is not a solution.

I was going to reulpload them, FYI.

 

[Jack Stevens]

I was going to reulpload them, FYI.

The rules clearly state that submissions are final. That means no deleting and re-uploading.
You have ~24 hours to get your images hosted on a third party website and sent to me, or your team will forfeit round 3.
