Hi everyone,

Good news on the Gallery. We're pretty sure we've found a solution to the issue, and are working hard on getting our gallery back online. We expect to have more news for you within a few days.

Thanks so much for your patience!

Thank you Alle that thing is so beautiful it's worth the wait...but I can hardly wait

Thank you so much for working on the Gallery!

It is, indeed, a work of art and what do we do? Crash it before the new wore off! Sorry about that. It was just sooo pretty and Moonlight-y

Aw, sorry it's been such a hassle. And thanks for going through the extra effort to try to get it to work.

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding when we lost our Gallery so soon after we had gotten it. We really appreciate your support as we've worked on a solution to the problem.

After a lot of discussion with the web host and among ourselves, we determined that the best solution, at least for the near future, is to host our MLA Gallery remotely. We have installed it (again, from scratch) on a sister site, and have updated all of the links on our site to point to the new location. We've spent a week or so hammering on the new Gallery as much as we can, trying to be sure it won't break, and are finally ready to open it up for your use!


Before you go running over there to play, here's some information about the gallery, and also a request.

The Gallery should look and function as it did before. Just as before, you don't need special registration - just click on the Gallery link in the header menu at the top of any page, and you'll be taken to it. The only difference is that it's now physically located on a different site, so the URL of the Gallery is different. However, clicking on the "MLA Forum" button will return you to our forum's main page.

As I said in the original announcement, the Gallery is a work in progress. You are our "beta testers," and we are asking for your help in making it better. One way you can do that is to let us know if you notice any problems. For example, we have found a few places where screencaps were pixilated during the automatic capping process. We can replace the bad images (or delete them if they are not important), but we need your help in finding them. If you find one or more, please copy the image's URL and paste it into a PM to Lilly and me, along with a brief description of what the image is about, and whether it's important or not (for example, "4 images of Mick and Beth talking outside Club Valis - important" or "Blurry flyover shot before BuzzWire scene - not important").

Thank you for your help - and enjoy the Gallery!

Your MLA Admin/Mod team

How to get the URL of an image in the Gallery:

Firefox - right-click the image and select "Copy image location" from the menu
Internet Explorer - right-click the image and select "Properties," and then highlight and copy the URL from the Address section of the Properties box
Chrome - right-click and select "Copy image URL" from the menu

Thanks for all the work to piece it back together again. What a pain! But I hope you know your hours and hours of work will lead to hours and hours and hours and hours and hours (...) of enjoyment by us!

This calls for a little snark. I've been sitting on it waiting for the gallery to come back. See you over on the snark thread....

Briefly popped into the gallery last evening---impressive. I could get lost in all those amazing pix.

Looking forward to immersing myself in the gallery and thank you ladies for all of your hard work to get it up and running.

[Lilly]

Glad you ladies are enjoying it. Please do let us know if anything seems amiss or if you have any questions.
