I've stuck with these limitations for my photos, but it's resulted in what I think to be subpar quality photos. Am I missing something? Hmm, as I look through the forums on my phone, I realized I may have misunderstood something. The photos on my mobile device look much lower resolution than on my desktop, and you have to click on the link to get to the full size version. Is this what you are referring to? If so, it appears to be an embedded part of the forums since they have switched to the new code. If I'm mistaken here, please describe what you are seeing so I can look into it. Have no fear, you won't be judged by the forums auto-resizing any of your pictures, we will click on the links to the full size work. Quote

Unfortunately, I simply misunderstood how things work on Eurobricks, and to make sure I fit requirements, adjusted the resolution of all my photos to below 1MB when posting them on Flickr, to then link them to EB. Too bad, as I’ve been away from home and haven’t had time to upload the original photos (my wife actually took them with a good camera, so they were much higher resolution 😅) Quote

Grover Posted September 1 Author Posted September 1 We are officially closed for entries, and scoring is underway. Thanks all for some amazing entries! Quote
T-86(swebrickLUG) Posted September 1 Posted September 1 (edited) Happy scoring/judging! Fantastic how the prelude challenge sort of woke the subforum of GoH up from a tiny slumber. With builds, feedback, C&C flying all around: awesomeness!! Edited September 1 by T-86(swebrickLUG) Quote
SimWies Posted September 1 Posted September 1 It has indeed been great to build for the prelude challenge and see how the subforum came alive! What a fantastic start to Book IV this has already been! Looking forward to what's to come. Happy scoring! Quote
Gideon Posted September 2 Posted September 2 This is a perfect "world building" type of challenge, that has been so successful in GoH before. I hope we get more of these Lovely to see both old and new builders turning up with a lot of great builds! (Sad myself that I was so bad at checking the subforum nowadays that I only discovered the challenge less than 2 weeks before the end, would have loved to contribute to both categories...) Quote
Seagull King of Vaughan Posted September 2 Posted September 2 As a new member, it was exciting to see the forum come to life for the challenge. Hoping for the best for Book IV when it comes! Quote
Grover Posted Tuesday at 04:25 AM Author Posted Tuesday at 04:25 AM And the results are in! For Category A, Hometown Advantage, the prize goes to @T-86(swebrickLUG) for his build The Bard of Old Town ! For Category B, Those Who Can... Teach, the prize goes to @Gideon for his build Song of an Ancient Battle ! I wanted to thank everyone who participated, our judges, and especially @MKJoshA who not only helped secure these prizes but dealt with a lot of the behind the scenes logistics within the forums here and really helped drive this contest and reignite the fire here at the Guilds of Historica! To all of our builders, new and old: The builds this time were really phenomenal. We have a lot of new builders, and it was quite impressive to see the high quality of work that all of you brought, and it was good to see some of our vets back too! I will be commenting on each of them over the coming days now that I'm done scoring. Congrats again to all and long live the Guilds! Quote
