Future Captain Enoch...

[DANE]

Hi,

I'm Dana. I'm a female who has started the  build and didn't initially  want to go for approval, but I think it'll be a challenge. Just going over the CRL  and I see I need to change a few things already. Removing the screws for the ammo pouches, and different boots. I'm interested in a voice changer if anyone has suggestions.  Thanks!

Welcome to the FISD.

 

Good luck with your Enoch build, it's still pretty new for us and the CRL is not yet 100% complete but we hope to be done soon.

 

If you have any questions get a build thread going and we will see what we can do to help

[DANE]

Let’s start with something simple. The gloves. These are what I have  - dark burgundy color.  No straps, stitching, etc. 

Approvable?

Hi,

 

Please make sure you are consulting the draft CRL available here:

 

As it stands on the current wording these should be fine.

 

Best images for this are in this post 

 

[DANE]

Yes I have been looking at the CRL currently in the works.

As much as I would love to show my build and get feedback, all of my pics are too big , despite resizing them 3x. Very frustrating.

Most of us use a free online image host, like IMGUR, upload your images there then copy and past the links to them into your post

 

[DANE]

Thanks! I will look into IMGUR as soon as I can!

[DANE]

Not much help TBH. I think the app has changed quite a bit. Still trying though.

Imgur is much easier to use on a tablet or computer. I find the phone app tricky to navigate.

Here is my neck seal. Hopefully approvable.

Why does the image size max change?? 

[DANE]

My blaster. Never mind. I’ve used up all my attachment space. Somehow.

This is why we suggest using a free online image host. This forum could not cater for unlimited images for the thousands of members who come and go over the years, hosting fees would be enormous.

I did use a free online image host to reduce the size of my pictures. 

[Sly11[Admin]]

Which image host are you using?

Does it simply make the image's file size smaller?

IMGUR as an example has no size, it provides a link which is a visible image on the forums, but the data is stored elsewhere, so you don't use up any space in the small allotment all members get on the forum.

Hosting is a little different to adjusting size, I see this image below was added to the forum and it's 1.75mb and 3024 x 4032 pixels which is quite large for images, standard size my phone takes. Definitely uploading them to Imgur and copy pasting the links into your forum posts helps us to keep down our hosting usage, it's a little inconvenient but most seem to be able to cope, it's been this way for quite some years now

I went to wwwsimpleimagesizer.com.   I download a pic, choose a kb size then save it. 
So, is that it? I cant upload anymore photos??

Correct link: https://www.simpleimageresizer.com/

 

No that only changes the size of the image, it is not an image hosting site and you cannot upload anymore images here to this forum as you have used your allocation.

 

Again we suggest using Imgur, it's an image hosting site, you upload your images to there (once you setup an account), then once uploaded copy the links of those images back to this forum and in to your posts, it is free.

A how to I previously posted

Alright. So much for this forum, then.

I can delete some of your images to free space for new ones, but unfortunately a hosting service is the only way to add as many as you like at any resolution.

Did you try IMGUR and have issues, or are you accessing us on a mobile device and cant get IMGUR to play the game for you?

We want to help, so you can get up as much stuff as you like onto the forums.

IMGUR is 100% free to use, and has proven to be the best results for the most members, hence why we recommend it.

I did download IMGUR. A while ago. On my IPad. On my home page, my name is not on the top right corner. It’s on the left. Nothing happens when I click on it. No menu. “IMAGES” isn’t seen anywhere. My pics are at a small white box with a “x” in it- upper right corner. 
The HOME page has a tool bar on the bottom with HOME, EXPLORE, CREATE, NOTIFICATIONS, and PROFILE. The top toolbar has FAVORITES, FOLLOWING, COMMENTS, and ABOUT.

GALLERY isn’t seen.

On the page with my photos I have CAMERA, MEMES, FILES, and REACTIONS. 
There is no NEW POST. 
If I click on a photo I get UPLOAD, ADD IMAGES AND VIDEOS, DESCRIPTION 

#TAGS and MENTIONS

No EDIT. 

 

So, as you can see …IMGUR wasn’t much help.

There is a section in the How To which covers mobile/pads, not sure if you have read that but many of our members use Imgur with mobile devices.

 

There are other free image hosts out there:

I downloaded the first one. And YES, please delete the previous images to make space. Just let me know if my neck seal would pass approval. Thanks for the help. 
Also going to check out the 2nd one on your list.

Based on the image posted above there is nothing obvious that would prevent approval. That said it would fall to your local GML for actual approval, and fit would form part of that process.
