The MLA Gallery now has indexes!

I'm thrilled to announce that our MLA Gallery just got even more user-friendly. :teeth:


Thanks to efforts of the amazing and generous HotMicks :hearts: , our Gallery now has an index included in every episode album. :yahoo: :woohoo: Image



HotMicks painstakingly went through each album Image and catalogued the screencaps by page and scene. :type: The resulting index charts are now available in PDF format and can be viewed online or conveniently printed.

The index can be found as the first file in each album in the Gallery and will be clearly labeled. When you click on the index thumbnail, you'll be brought to the "filmstrip" page, as you would when clicking any ordinary individual image. Clicking again will then open the PDF in another browser tab if you're using Firefox, Chrome or IE8. Mac users may find that the PDF is handled differently, but HotMicks was able to find a Firefox plug-in that helped with that.

Note to Chrome users: You will find six icons at the bottom right of your screen for adjusting the size of the text, and for printing or saving the PDF. If you don't see these immediately, just move your cursor over the area to make them visible.

If you have any issues or questions, please post them here and we'll do our best to help. :blinksmile:

HotMicks deserves an ENORMOUS round of applause for her work in producing these.

And, let us not forget Lilly for her work in putting the gallery, and now the indexes, online.

Cheers, please!

Hip HIP HOORAY!!

Thanks, ladies. I appreciate the sentiment. :rose: Honestly, though, HotMicks is the one who made this added bonus possible. She did all the hard work. :notworthy: I just integrated the files into the Gallery.

What never ceases to boggle my mind about this site, is that even after all this time, we constantly are finding new treasures to add. New fic to read, new pictures to dream over, new information about our wonderful show (and all the talents associated with it...), and new ways to organize and access the information.

MLA, and all its wonderful members, ROCKS.

:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

Gone are the days of randomly flipping through page after page! :twothumbs:

I'm on a Mac, and everything works perfectly! I tried both Safari and Firefox. :yahoo:

:flowers: You're all very welcome... may they bring you hours and hours of photo enjoyment! :teeth:

(and yes, francis, it was so hard :winky: to 'slog' thru all those lovely stills... :mdrama: :snicker: )

:hug: I do want to give a shout out to Lunalux for the idea and inspiration. :bulb: I've used her MLF indices, and it's obviously where I got the idea to index the MLA gallery.

:thumbs: One other thing... there's a reason I included locations and more details, including many of the props we seem to fixate on. :blushing: Not sure about the browsers, but many PDF viewers (Acrobat, Preview, etc.) will allow you to search the PDFs. Use the "find" command in the edit menu, and you can search for "iPhone" or "two monks" or "buzzwire" or "Carl" or .... :chin: :snicker:

That's one of the reasons those details are in the PDFs... since I always seem to be searching for a specific pic and can never find it. :whistle:

So anyway, thanks to Alle & the mods for okaying this little project, and thanks to Lilly for walking me through the technical issues and posting them all! :smooch:
