I’ve just been going through the toy guide tonight and I’ve noticed a few problems!
I’m unable to view the following pages on a Firefox browser:
-All Cheetara pages (all 4)
-Berbil Bill
-Berbil Bert
-Berbil Belle
All the other pages on the guide load fine on Firefox.
Then:
-Panthro (8-back) is missing the MOC pic
-Mumm-Ra (8-back) with free battery has the wrong pic
-Wilykit MOC pic looks squashed and is obviously not set at the right proportions!
-Orange Laser Saber MOC also is stretched and not at the right proportion!
There might also be a few other ‘MOC’ pics that appear stretched.
Just to add that I’ve checked out these pages on my version of IE, and the ones that Neil has trouble loading work OK for me - but, obviously that’s IE and not Firefox! The only page that has issues for me is the one for Ro-Ber Bill, which has a broken link at the bottom of the Toy Viewer where his name should be - I don’t know whether that’s true of Firefox too or just my version of IE…
I will look into the missing pics/ stretched pics. I will also fix the Mumm-Ra page to make it coincide to what it is supposed to be. The Ber-Bill page I will look into as well. As far as the pages not being able to be viewed in Firefox is beyond my knowledge so MannyF will have to look into that one
I will update this post with the latest fixes. In the meantime I posted above which ones are fixed
I fixed all of these pages Neil, if you could double check that it works on your end, that would be great.
Then:
-Panthro (8-back) is missing the MOC pic
-Mumm-Ra (8-back) with free battery has the wrong pic
-Wilykit MOC pic looks squashed and is obviously not set at the right proportions!
-Orange Laser Saber MOC also is stretched and not at the right proportion!
There might also be a few other ‘MOC’ pics that appear stretched.
I fixed the Wilykit and Orange Laser Saber pics. They should be proportioned correctly. If you could double check this as well just so I know it works on someone elses computer that would be appreciated.
As far as other pics being stretched, if someone finds more, just post the link here and I’ll fix it.
Just checked and all looks great to me! Thanks for making those changes Manny, your the best!
EDIT: Just noticed that the pages for Thunderwings, Luna Lasher and Stilt Runner haven’t been moved over into the new design or they have not been linked to on the main toy guide page. Manny could you look into these 3 pages for me?
If you no longer have them in the old design to change them over, let me and I’ll upload them off my site back up disc.
I also think it might be time to ask on the toy forum if anyone can help us out with loose pics of Blue, Red, Orange Laser Sabers and the Stilt Runner.
and we still need to get the loose image of Ratar-o with silver sias put up. Though I can’t remember who said they could help with pics? (I know it was either Chris or Matt)
I also think we need to re-look the Cats Lair page as well. However maybe we can all get together (Manny, MannyC, Matt and I) and iron out some ideas for that page? I believe it’s the most important page on our Toy guide if I’m being honest so I’d love to make that page extra special. I think this is something to think about after the impending update though.
Those pages are uploaded and are on the new design, but I think the Toy Guide page just never had links to the actual pages (even in the old design). I’m heading to work, but if anyone wants to make those links active, feel free to do so. Otherwise, I can do them when I get home.
Neil
I can get you the pics of the sais. I thought I had already taken them. Yeah I did the pics are here. http://www.thundercatslair.org/staff/matt/ljn/
Both sets of silver sais. I can take them with Rataro if needed also I just didnt think that we needed to, since all the other weapons have pics of themselves with no figure. Let me know.
Also in that folder are other pics of things that we needed. Ie captin shiner moc on us card
As far as the cats lair page when is a good time to meet and I can be there
I meant a pic with Ratar-o holding them Matt. So on the Ratar-o silver sias toy guide page, we will have the 4th pic for the viewer. Let me know if you can take a pic of him holding them (preferrably on a black background)
Re: Cats Lair page, perhaps we can discuss it at the next team meeting? I think the main focus with the next fortnight is to begin getting the Mini Figures toy guide up.
Yeah I can take a pic of them. I have to find a rataro first. I actually dont know where I put all my loose figures (i’ll get up there and hunt for them this weekend).
As far as the mini figs are concerned. The basice writeup is done (although I havent figured out all the variations, but everything has pics with the exception of snowmeow as I dont have him). They are all in the mini thread. Most of the weapons dont have pics either and neither do the pvc figs. I’ll check my writup out over the weekend and make changes and such. I didnt remember these were going up this time.
If you can’t find the Ratar-o it’s ok. We will just have to wait on that one. To be honest I really need to pick up some silver sias soon for my loose collection!
As for the Minis, well I doubt it will be ready to go up for this next update, but I think we should think about working it on very soon. I was hoping MannyF could help us set up a new viewer with a mini figures twist attached to it. Perhaps instead of the blue border, a figures packaging card surrounding the viewer and the viewer panel that displays the images looks as if your looking into the blister bubble.
Actually that’s an idea! It would be major cool if we took the white splash and placed it behind most of the LJN viewer pics! Might be a cool addition/update to the look of the guide.
The problem with me is I have so many ideas, but 90% of the time lack the knowledge to follow the ideas through
Neil I got the pics of Rataro holding the sais. They are in my folder labeled ljn. Rattaro is a little beat and missing his tail, I just grabbed the one I gave my brother rather than dig them out of the attic. Hope its cool with no tail its not really noticable
The only page that has issues for me is the one for Ro-Ber Bill, which has a broken link at the bottom of the Toy Viewer where his name should be - I don’t know whether that’s true of Firefox too or just my version of IE…
