Mud Watermark (1 Viewer)

What's up with that, Woody?

 

[woody]

cause I can.....

there are a handful of sites where people are linking the attachments....which is fine....this way, it's free advertising when they do

 

[IDave]

Free advertising is good. How about a link to TUT in each watermark? :whoops:

 

[woody]

LOL

eeeeww.wwwwww..w.ww.ww

 

[wantatlc]

better yet, how about just replacing all of TUT with one big IH8MUD.COM watermark photo

 

[nuclearlemon]

i think it's cool....kudos woody

 

[wantatlc]

I really do think it is good also to get exposure when linked to outside of this site, but why only on some images? is it only images of stared members or those that host the images with you? what is the criteria?

 

[woody]

it's all uploaded images...anything done thru the attachment system within the forum....

finally finalized the watermark this morning...

I'm kinda pissed that the software automatedly watermarket all the PREVIOUSLY uploaded pics....that wasn't planned....

ah well....

 

[IDave]

Kinda blocked out some essential information on one of my attachments in tech.

 

[wantatlc]

will it block out some of the best parts of the Cheerleader thread

 

[woody]

the "final" version should be acceptable....the first few screwups may cause issues...

lol....I leave the CLT to the Gumbster to track

 

[wantatlc]

interesting.

it cannot do animated .gifs: https://forum.ih8mud.com/showpost.php?p=1012629&postcount=37

and some come through as just outlines: https://forum.ih8mud.com/showpost.php?p=1012602&postcount=33

yet others come through as solid: https://forum.ih8mud.com/showpost.php?p=1012287&postcount=22

 

[woody]

first off, the animated is not uploaded, it's hosted elsewhere...as I noted, only those uploaded thru the attachments option will be effected....

your 2nd link is the final version

your 3rd link is the ugly messy first version that I didin't know would effect all the past uploads....

see post #8 above....it answers all 3 of your notes

 

[wantatlc]

okay sorry

#8 is not as clear as you might think but since you are working on it, it seems so to you.

I did not know that "yesterday" was the more solid version and "clear" is the "this morning version" as I did not pay attention to the switch.

weird that it would not auto update all previous watermarks to the 'this morning' clear version if you changed how the watermark appeared in the settings.

 

[woody]

it may overnight.....or it may not ever....or it may just require time for the cache/refresh/etc issue to clear itself...

I just wish I'd tested a bit more before running with it....

ah well, live and learn.....

SO how does this work (I mean realy) Is this a mod for the board? Is it available on SMF yet? ( I guess I could go look for that)

Or is this part of image creation script in PHP?

I almost know what I am talking about!

Attention Whore

Free advertising is good. How about a link to TUT in each watermark? :whoops:

That would be a good one or maybe testacle fingers

While I understand some of your reasoning, I still have problems with it (for reasons I'd rather not discuss here).

it's a plugin/option I found at vBulletin.org...I'll wager it's out there for SMF too...

T Y L E R, you know my PM

i think this is a good idea for more than just the exposure reason

i was reading in the fj cruiser section where a picture was used on ebay from this website. the truck the seller was selling did not look anything like the picture he posted.

maybe the watermark will deter people from stealing pictures and missleading buyers
