    Nope, the spoiler is fixed!
  2. Jim
    Let me try to fix it as well, so we can compare solutions tomorrow! I will make pictures of both the original design and the fixed one.
  3. Jim
    The flaw might be fixable. I will make some decent pictures for you tomorrow. Afterwards I will see what I can do about the flaw. I do like the feature It does move, but you are close

    I have built the buggy. I must say I really like it. However, there's a fundamental design flaw. Typically a problem you can oversee when building in LDD. Any of you guys see what I mean? There's also a "hidden" (intentional or not?) feature in this model. Take a guess... I will make some pictures tomorrow!!

    Hehe

    Hi, I love the idea of having some themed months. We can alternate the theme months with contests and have as much activity as possible. Not sure about the theme though! I do like JanAIRy Then I have no excuse to finish my Chinookified 9396

    I missed this topic, but great modifications Dikkie! I still need to build my copy, so I will surely take a look at the modifications you made.

    Hi Gee, Welcome to EB!! Nice to see you've upgraded from lurker Here's a general Welcome Topic, in which you could introduce yourself. Furthermore, there are some Member Guidelines which you need to know. You can check the Technic Index to see some useful topics, like the Technic General Discussion, where you can post general questions, which don't need their own topic. Feel free to ask if you want to know more! This topic is very useful as well: Which Technic set should I buy?
  11. Jim
    There's no time limit Your collection pretty much resembles my collection. Technic, Modular Buildings, Star Wars and some Racers! Nice!

    Voting will be open for about a week. So till Wednesday I suppose. Want me to make a clear deadline?
  13. Jim
    I have finished building the A-model. Maybe I will try this C-model tomorrow.
  14. Jim
    Not yet, but I am planning to implement that. I might take a look at this tomorrow or next week. So I can check the "joined date", voting for oneself, voting a total of 10 points.
  15. Jim
    Actually I have written a tool for this. I have collected the contestants and their entries, and now I only need to copy and paste the votes, which is about 10 minutes of work. The software does the rest. So you will get a full list presented with all contestants, not only the first three. There's also some statistics on number of voters, most votes, etc. Seemed like a nice investment for future contests

    Very nice! I'm working on a small review for this set. I might build this model and include it in my review.
  17. Jim
    Have you talked to an employee and said you wanted to reserve one? If the are advertising, you should be able to order it, right? Unless it says "while stock lasts" or something. Don't know the legal regulations, but it's worth a try.

    Funny you mention it, because I was thinking about the possibility of changing the images by using the same URL. And for archiving purpose it will also be better to have a copy in the EB storage. At least for the main image! For next contest I will see what I can do. Thanks for bringing this up My bad!! I forgot to mention this in the introduction. I was planning on writing a note, but somehow I missed it. Maybe a bit late, but I have included it. Next time I will also add a clickable link to make sure it's clear.
  19. Jim
    Very true! I don't think it will influence the contest a lot. The best entries will still win, but it's strange nonetheless. I need to evaluate this for next contest.

    I tried to remove the st=25, but that means you will be stuck on the first page. That's not working for me either. I will do some further testing. Why o why do browsers behave so differently. It's annoying!
  21. Jim
    That's so weird, because when I click these entries, I don't have any issues. Which browser(s) are you using? I'm using Chrome. 22. Lifeguard Vehicles ...forum/index.php?showtopic=87611&#entry1751911 23. Lifestyle Machines! ...forum/index.php?showtopic=87611&st=25#entry1752077 24. Swingwing Trailer and Truck ...forum/index.php?showtopic=87611&st=25#entry1752210 I really think it's a browser issue, because whatever I try, the links take me to the right entry. Let me try Safari....just a sec. I think I have found it!! Safari is screwing things up That's why I had issues on my iPad as well. Strange thing is, that it's not occurring with every entry. Only the ones mentioned are affected.
  22. Jim
    What's wrong with #24? I see the picture and when I click it, I see the proper topic. However, I did notice, that sometimes clicking an image on my iPad the proper topic will be shown initially, but after a second or two, it scrolls to/shows another topic (in this case number 23, yours Doc-brown, so it scrolls up a bit). Is this what you mean? I can't replicate this behavior on my computer by the way. To make it perfectly clear; I will do anything to host a fair competition, but some factors are not within my reach to control. So if any of the contestants really feel that they are not judged fairly, let me know. But looking at the preliminary voting results, I don't see a strange outcome. And I haven't been able to replicate the missing pictures issues, although I do know that Brickshelf was offline for some time the other other day.

    The headers are clearly visible, so why would people be voting for the wrong entry? It might happen hat a picture doesn't show up, but that does depend on the site where the image is hosted, combined with lack of patience. The image are loaded async, so you need to wait until all images have been loaded. It might occur that number 32 has been loaded before number 20. That's the way things work. Since this is a forum using 3rd party software, it's hard for me to do something about it. By the way; I have been looking at the votes and in my opinion there's no strange outcome. 22 and 23 are two of the best entries, so it makes sense that they are leading. What's strange in that? If there is really an issue, I will obviously try to address it, but I don't want to act on the occasional missing picture. If there's a picture missing all the time, let me know! And to all future participants I would suggest to use Flickr for hosting your images!

    You need to edit your post and allot the other 5 points. Can't use half your points. I have added a line to the rules, because this might not have been clear enough. Please read the rules! Max 5 points per model! Edit your original post to correct your votes. Otherwise they won't count.

    If I remember correctly, I've even put a link in my review. It's the Technic Cam. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=6575 Thanks! I have tried to vary in pictures size, so that the review isn't a big list of huge pictures. This improved the readability (imho). I am working on a generic setup for 360 viewing, for future reviews :thumbub: These sets will be available around January 15th if I am not mistaken. Even the plane! Welcome to EB by the way! Nice to have you on board!
