I think 150kb is quite a lot for web purposes. You can use freeware tools like "irfanview" to resize the resolution of very large images or keep the resolution if it's OK but save them as jpeg with a bit more compression to reduce the file size.Patti82 wrote:There seems to be a limit of 150kB for the photos, is it OK to upload lager ones? You can ignore the warning, but I haven't wanted to do so since I don't know if there is a space limit to the "Kawa" to use Being645's own words

cheers
GIMP should do the job as well (and much more of course) - irfanview was just the first of the "most easy-to-handle tools" wich came up in my mindPatti82 wrote:I have so far used GIMP for resizing some files

Oh yeah you can script the GIMP with Python can't you.

The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

I'm not really in to complex image creations/edits (I prefer moving images^^) that's why for 90% of my image-related tasks (resizing, converting, cropping, rotating, adjust. brightness & contrast % colors....) Irfanview is doing the job and for the remaining 10% I'm working with Paint.net wich is kind of a "Photoshop light". I tried GIMP years ago but the handling seemed to be very "unusual" for somebody who only worked with other tools before but I sure know that GIMP is a damn fine and powerful tool - if you can handle itmarkfiend wrote:Oh yeah you can script the GIMP with Python can't you.

nope, no limit on space so in theory at least you can do whatever you wantPatti82 wrote:There seems to be a limit of 150kB for the photos, is it OK to upload lager ones?

![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
but as has been pointed out, 150kb should be a decent enough size for a jpg sleeve scan...
this one for example is 61k

although happy to increase that limit slightly if there's a need

Yeah some of them have been uploaded without any editing, but most of the CD covers I have are strangely enough over 150KB but I have no problem with resizing themQuiff Boy wrote:nope, no limit on space so in theory at least you can do whatever you wantPatti82 wrote:There seems to be a limit of 150kB for the photos, is it OK to upload lager ones?

Thanks to Rise891, some pictures of the concerning marquees have been added to the Gigography ...

We think it looks great ...

So if anybody should have further such pics, don't hesitate to add them to the Wiki
... or send them to me, so that I can arrange for that ...

Hell, I'm not exactly content with the Current Events page.
I'd like to move the first part of it under a headline like Recent Events to the Main Page ...
...
preferrably between A Brief Overview and Further Information
Any objections, suggestions ...![Question :?:](./images/smilies/icon_question.gif)

... understandable ... changed it on the Main Page now ... looks far more relaxed ...
...
On the Current Events page, font sizes help make things easier to read ... still a bit too coloured, maybe
... but all in black and blue does not seem desirable to me, either ...

Someone deleted plenty bootlegs from the list in the Wiki ...
I wonder, whether this is ok? I don't think so, acutally ... but ...
http://sisterswiki.org/index.php?title= ... ldid=10576
So, I have decided to return the page to it's former state ...
if there should by any objections, this oughta be discussed ...
either here or in the discussion pages of the Wiki.

i've upgraded the sisters wiki to the latest version of mediawiki: v1.16.5
http://www.sisterswiki.org/Special:Version
it was a pretty simple upgrade but the previous version was from 2006, so there may well be quite a few changes![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
let me know if there's any bugs or quirks![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

sounds good ...
..
but the Community Portal Link on the Main Page doesn't work ... found a functioning link to it in the Statistics file ... here
and - much worse - Current Events can only be reached along the link from within the text on the Main Page
under this link in Recent Events, not from the link in the side bar ...
...
Anyway, the User List is very clearly arranged now ...

You can't delete users unfortunately. Tats a restriction of mediawiki.
However, what you can do is install an extension that allows you to rename users, so we could change all the spammy names to something neutral...
Or there's one that seems to let you merge users, so you could merge them all into 1, then rename that user to "zzz" or something.
That might tidy up the user list![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)

how's that now?
![Image](http://www.myheartland.co.uk/temp/wiki-nav.png)
have tweaked the sidebar nav and removed all the system links to daft bits of the wiki that no one actually needs, replacing it with proper navigation to the sisters info![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
oh yeah, and i changed the wiki theme to something slightly more contemporary![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
