  Re: Brickshelf Viewer
 
(...) Seems the links issue is the big one - perhaps if there was a link on the Brickshelf mainpage to this page: (URL) even, if there were a statement on the site about how to opt yourself in - for example, urging Users to explicitly use their full (...)

  Re: Brickshelf Viewer
 
(...) OK....I wonder why it never seemed to work for me. Maybe it was and I just didn't realize it. (...) Good to know...I didn't know there was a limit. That means that BSV is slightly broken, I guess. (...) And red on gray is impossible to see, (...) (21 years ago, 10-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: Brickshelf Viewer
 
(...) I really hate this line of reasoning. It assumes the user should not have any role in the development or maintainence of community software. While BrickShelf is privately owner, and provided as a free service, the users should be able to (...) (21 years ago, 10-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: Brickshelf Viewer (and MIME types)
 
(...) Yup, we use it on Peeron and LDraw - though I was trying to recompile it (with a new patch from Don), but haven't had the time to figure out exactly how we did it last time. Doesn't help that the server doesn't have X installed - I think it's (...) (21 years ago, 10-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish, lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Brickshelf Viewer
 
(...) It would be nice to be able to do that on the fly when requested. Converting files when uploaded would break some deep-linking applications. Converting bmp's to jpeg would be harmful to certain types of images, like Sprite Sheets or even LDraw (...) (21 years ago, 10-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: Brickshelf Viewer
 
(...) I'd just like to add my name to the list of those suggesting an option to opt in to allow their real name to be poated. I always try to give proper credit when citing a MOC either in a discussion or if I want to borrow a design idea, but have (...) (21 years ago, 10-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: Brickshelf Viewer
 
(...) Sure, if we could verify that the user was over 18 (or 13 with parental consent). Unfortunately the only acceptable ways to do that are to take credit cards or use written letters. (...) Customview has always had an "exclude" feature. The (...) (21 years ago, 10-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: Brickshelf Viewer
 
(...) Understood but people who have supplied a back mapping at LUGNET are in essence waiving their COPPA protection, wouldn't you say? So somehow letting people opt out of real name hiding would be a good thing, if it can be finessed somehow. (21 years ago, 10-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: Brickshelf Viewer
 
(...) Ideally, Brickshelf would actually resample the images when they are uploaded (with the option not to resample for wallpapers and such) This would save bandwidth, especially if BMPs were automatically resaved as JPG as well. --Bram (21 years ago, 10-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: Brickshelf Viewer (and MIME types)
 
(...) Thanks Tim! The new icons will be used any time a folder is uploaded to or "rescan"'ed. KL (21 years ago, 10-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish, lugnet.cad)

(...) Could we have an option to leave it in? I find it very difficult to find anyone's directory with the real name removed.

  Re: Brickshelf Viewer
 
(...) I understand your desire for compliance, but perhaps a better move would have been to allow people to opt-in and allow their real names to be posted. The (unintended, I'm sure) consequence of dumping realname data is now its much, much more (...) (21 years ago, 10-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)

(...) the file. The reason I dropped filenames in the first place was to hide habit of creating filenames like 0000000_this.jpg to get them to organize in the right order. --Bram (21 years ago, 10-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)

  Re: Brickshelf Viewer (and MIME types)
 
(...) What would really help folders full of ldraw files is an LDraw Icon! Maybe Tim could come up with something that scales nicely in the 128x128 thumbnail box? Better yet would be a rendering of the file, but that would take a bit more work. KL (21 years ago, 10-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish, lugnet.cad)
