Can we use these rules ?

[tdierikx]

I'm sure that I could cope with those rules... lol!

The only query is where is the preferred place to upload the images? Do we use the gallery here? and if so, should we note in the description field that the image is for the contest?

Posting the link in this forum may be a problem for those people more challenged in forum posting technique... maybe instructions on how that is done would be a good idea...

T.I added a new rule for that, I hope that helps :)

Thank you for the suggestion

[tdierikx]

Great job there Hubbabub! The instructions are much clearer now!

Can we use these rules ?

why can't a forum be made up just like poser? that way others would see it when they post and possibly post to it, and why 2 different programs like how many know more then 1 maybe 2 or so. Guess I get to drag out some of the bunch I have lol not going to guarantee anything on the other programs though lol.........

[Hubbabub]

why 2 different programs like how many know more
then 1 maybe 2 or so.

I suspect that the images should look to much the
same if you only use 1 program for you 2 images.

[Hubbabub]

Can you explain it to me

[tdierikx]

I think what classylady is saying is that she'd like to see a specific gallery set up just for Fractal challenges/contests...

It would make tracking the entries easier if they were all posted to one specific gallery, rather than mixed in with the "everyday" artworks.

Personally, I like the bit where we have to use two different programs if we wish to submit 2 entries - a stroke of genius that - it will pull some people out of their "comfort zones" and maybe inspire us to try new things every now and then, if only just for a learning process...

Aah, okay, now I understand.

English is not my first language,
so sometimes my english understanding take a dip :)

[Engel47]

is now set up - all you had to do was ask :gallery: :boogie: :w00t:

[tdierikx]

Thank you Engel47!

[classylady]

Can you explain it to me
Hi guys sorry we've both been down sick with bad colds. anyway yes T. kind of summed it up it what I was referring to and it looks like Angela has taken care of that posting into the fractal challenge

Thanks Angela , thanks T and that you Hubbabub sounds like its going to be interested GOOD LUCK TO ALL. :)

[tdierikx]

It looks like you and I will be entering then classylady?

This is going the be very hard - how does the student compete against the teacher? (me = student for those who were wondering)

I'm chewing my fingernails already... aarrgghh!

T.

[classylady]

Ya right your the student lol don't forget you know more then I do about the new Apo......
don't worry if some of the ones I think will enter neither oneof us will have to worry lol......now for the second one. not sure which program I'll try for that one. oh well all in good fun and enjoyment. Right? :hug:

[Q.R.]

There's a new APO!!!!!!???????? Oh man, I am totally out of the loop these days. LOL
What....no postwork??!!!!!!! *runs out screaming*
O.k., since there seems to be enough time, I'll play.

[tdierikx]

classylady insists on using an older version of Apo Q.R... and is obviously extremely comfortable doing so, if her divine works are anything to go by... lol!

Most people are using v2.02 or one of the beta 2.02 versions... I'm using beta version 2.02g myself...

Apo version 2.02 can be had from http://www.apophysis.org

Beta 2.02 versions can be had from http://sourceforge.net/projects/apophysis

Enjoy!

T.

[classylady]

yep why change when it works for me at least for now. :ta-da:

[Q.R.]

Im using Apo 2.02, but i don't like it as well as some of the old beta versions. I think I'll stay with it and say hard drive space. LOL

[classylady]

I don't blame you from what I am getting from the list most everyone is having some kind of problems so I'll just stay as is with mine too.

[tdierikx]

I have version 2.02, 2.02f, and 2.02g all running quite happily together on 3 different computers - never had any problems at all...

I think that most people end up with problems when they start messing with the paths in the options, or they start moving stuff around on their hard drives to try and reduce the inevitable clutter any graphics app causes...

Some people don't understand that to uninstall an installed application under Windows, they really should be using the Add/Remove function - not just deleting the directory that the application resides in. Any reinstall of that application will just take up the settings still left in the windows registry, and whatever problem they originally had will still be there after the reinstall.
