Need to get thumbnails working.

jeff denton · 02-02-2005

Hey, that's a great idea, Gary. Am so honored you started with my buildup!
I have struck a deal with Stan... am getting his spare 4.22 gears. We will be up to speed on Test and Tune Day, April 30!
Many thanks again to opelgt.com!!

@ Jeff - Try adding your next installment to the article. (Just to see if it works)

namba209 · 02-03-2005

Gary, did my engine swap articles and the one's Greg posted of Mike Pilkenton's swap, in the original format get lost or are they somewhere else?

Gary · 02-03-2005

They are still around, Ron. Just disabled while we beta the new program.

jeff denton · 02-03-2005

Gary, is it possible to make my "chapters" all run together as one article?
Also, how does one go back into a published article and edit it if necessary?
It sure is neat how the photos come up full size!

Gary · 02-05-2005

Jeff, See if you can "Edit" your srticle. I merged the others into one that has you as the uploader/author. There should be an edit article link somewhere...

jeff denton · 02-05-2005

Hi Gary, I didn't see any way to go in and edit. Most of the pictures were replaced with an X box and don't come up when clicked.
I have no idea how you do all this, it's all just FM to me!

Gary · 02-05-2005

A dash of pixie dust and the photos are back. I'll have to upload a test article to see about editing it.

Killer Texas GT · 02-05-2005

Gary just uploaded an article but could not get to it to see if it worked, and was unable to upload all the pictures i needed for it, is there a way to upload more pictures and make some editing fixes to them?

Gary · 02-06-2005

It looks like only the admin can edit at this point.

Rodney, What is the order for the photos? add another article to upload the other pics and I'll edit them into place inside the article.

Killer Texas GT · 02-06-2005

Gary, I went back and renamed my photos per Fig. # and uploaded them in their correct order, so if you can find the three articles and add the pictures from the 2nd and 3rd article to the words from the first article and delete the pictures from the first article. Oh, I am so confused

hope it makes sense to you.
Thanks rk

Gary · 02-06-2005

Are you sure you are an electrician and not a lawyer?

GTJIM · 02-06-2005

This is going to be one of the Premier sections of the Site. Just started and looking real good already. Guess it will become "printer friendly" in the fullness of time!
As a "purist" Stock body GT afficinado - but old time Stock Car builder; I found Jeff's article about the Speedway GT build facinating and full of interest.

No Gary I am neither an Electrician nor a Lawyer, but I am a Commercial Carpenter by trade, with an ability to be a Master at being a Jack of all Trades.

Gary,

That is pretty snazy... I like it!

Gary · 02-08-2005

They are still working out some bugs with it and adding new features. I'm hoping there will be an easy way to change a thread into an article.

jeff denton · 02-10-2005

Hi Gary, to my article I added a short story about relocating the pedals and master cylinder along with a photo, after submitting I got an error message about "invalid phrase". I submitted again, same results. I see the text uploaded but no photo. I sure hope I didn't blow something up! Sorry.
This is the photo I tried to put in.

Gary · 02-10-2005

The article was submitted. They go into a "hold area" for approval. I reported that phrase problem.

I will ask about uploading PDF's as an article.
