    Great job RedRobes, I'll have to go in and edit some of my posts to make sure the map is the first image. Don't think anyone will be impressed by the ICE Contest Entry form

    Question

    Great idea to organise this in thumbnails.

    I noticed that the script picked up the wrong picture for "Fabrice1".

    It is not that surprising because I was always attaching my updates in the first post, to spare the visitors from going through the whole thread to get to the final version. As a consequence the script picked up an illustration meant to support a side discussion that was going on at the time.

    What would be your recommendation to fix this? Should I upload the picture again in the last post of the thread?

    Read the Finished Map forum rules sticky. Finished maps should be be just that, finished. Any updates should be back to the original image in the first post.


    Redrobes, can you modify your script to grab the first image instead of the last one found so that your script conforms to the rules of this forum?

    I can try that later today. I think it would help. It ought to be a bit quicker to get all the images since I have many of them already.

    Ok thats done now. Its definitely better. Theres still a lot of threads where the images were hosted on different sites and some where its picked up something else in that case and missing the real map. Theres about 4 instances where the script failed so its got an image marker but no image for it. Ill have to fix that up.

    It can still take a wip tag to override the first image so if its not the first image thats required or we could post a version of the map as an on site attachment instead of the offsite one then we could put a wip tag in on that post to fix the thumb up for it.

    Its only about 20% wrong now.

    I have to say that my favourite is Pyrandon_5

    That's quite a gallery of images there. Great work RR.

    Ah yes thats when we gave The Cartographist the monikor "Tim the Enchanter" for some reason I forgot. I miss ole Pyrandon so I mailed him a few weeks back and he still checks in occasionally. If you want to see some great art look up the original tile mosaic he did.

    Edit -- hopefully this post wont make sense in the future cos thats one we should fix up !
