Basically, PM'ing about the coding is a real pain. So this is for the coders to be able to keep up to date with what's happening and if any of us need any help, this is where we're going to post and get the help and advice needed from our co-coders. Not saying non-coders should butt out of these talks, but the other coding thread is more to do with general ideas etc, this is ideally just for us. It will make things a lot neater and hopefully be quicker in getting things sorted out.
So... onwards and upwards.
With or without updating AU, I would like to start deleting images from the banners pages. Not removing the banners from the system (Arwen may want them) but the coding. I have a list courtesy of myself and Nurr of what is definitely going (Nurr was the only one who volunteered to help me with this, so what we chose.. er.. goes... ) and if anyone would like to help me do this, the more the merrier.
I have had a look at the coding for the Aragorn page, and the only problem I can see is the coding isn't in the same order as what is shown on AU (or how my list is ordered). Not a big problem but it may make the very, very large banner pages diffcult to pick out what should go or not, as my list won't match what I'm seeing.
So while it isn't going to affect anything really at the moment, we need to keep in mind for the future that the coding currently on the banners pages, are different to how they are viewed (kinda like the galleries).
So yeah.... basicallly I'm honking the horn and flashing the light that I will be starting on the banner pages this weekend. And then progress to other graphicy things.
Feel free people to honk your horn as well.

Can I check the links on, say, the Humor page? And also, I know that whenever you click on a subsection of the gallery (pics of Frodo, for example), the Back to Gallery link is broken. And, can I also help you with the banners?

Yes, I do have coding experience, if by you mean HTML and CSS.

*Pops head in* Erm... I believe, JFish, weren't we talking about how to set up the art featuring? I'm still up to doing five biweekly. So if you just want to set it up however is most conveinient for you and the other coders... and then just let me know when it's ready so I can start sending the art your way!

Ok, well I would like to know what the other codes think of the best way for doing the featured art, so that should hopefully get done as soon as possible.
However, with the actual art page, that could start going ahead now. I've just had a quick look at some art and you're right; some of it is worth keeping. Do you maybe have a list you can give me of the vert best pieces we should keep (I will add names to the artwork of the artist as I think we need to move away from adding the artists names underneath their work)? Then I can remove the ones we don't want, and if you have any pieces ready with permission for the artists or whatever, I can add them to the fanart page.

I'll go through the artwork right now, since I just happen to have the time to do that. And I'll pm the 'keeping' list to you(giving name of artwork and artist name in order as viewed) as soon as I've finished it.

I know we've said to make backups of all the stuff, just in case sort of thing. But do I really need to keep backups of the old screencapture thumbs? I don't think it's necessary - the pages are working fine. (This, by the way, means I've put in the new spiffy images for the first few chapters of the screen capture galleries. ) I've also updated the faq's, and I'm just generally working around bits and pieces of the site.

So as Arwen isn't around at the moment to tell me whether she wants them or not, I have taken the liberty of actually deleting the banners I'm removing from the system completely (which will mean we don't have old unused banners cluttering things now) but I'm also saving them to my computer in case Arwen has no other copies.
EDIT: I've finished that page, and I hope you can see how nice it is to have Arwen's best banners all on their own now. Looks nice, JF! I do have copies of all my graphics saved to my own hard drive, so feel free to delete stuff. As you've probably discovered, the script for the banner pages looks in a specified directory for images to show, so you need to delete or move any banners that you don't want to show up. But I sense you've figured that out by now

I'll be needing to know so I can make new (and bigger ones) for the fanart and I think it was mentioned a while ago about a programme or something? Thumbnails? I'd recommend http://www.irfanview.com/ . It's free and the batch-processing feature allows you to crop or resize a ton of images automatically according to the preferences you specify. Or if you have Photoshop / later versions of PSP, there should be ways to specify a set of actions you can run to create thumbnails.
