| (Note: please trim newsgroups on reply) All, As you know, I work both with you and with colleagues inside the LEGO Company. My efforts internally include a large bit of "training and introduction" about AFOLs. Projects like the "AFOLs" comic are (...)

| (...) Are humans visiting Brickshelf and displaying the site in Netscape 1-4? Does this level of usage of Netscape 1-4 in displaying Brickshelf make the support of Netscape 1-4 in designing the viewer experience of Brickshelf necessary? Does (...)

| (...) I had trouble parsing this sentence. Would you consider restating it, perhaps as several sentences with less convoluted sentence structure? Clearly, it's a point you'd like to make, but I am not yet getting what point it is. Thanks. (21 years ago, 11-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)
| | | | | Re: Brickshelf Viewer
|
| (...) I think the comment "does not work in Netscape 4.x (and probably other legacy browsers)" is funny and sad at the same time. Frankly, that Brickshelf currently works in Netscape 4 (and be honest, it works in Netscape 3, 2, and 1, as well, where (...) (21 years ago, 11-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)
| | | | | Re: Brickshelf Viewer
|
| (...) Wrong, not for PNG. JPEG yes because thats a lossy format. But PNG is lossless and there is no data that is thrown away when its compressed. Perhaps have an option to convert *.bmp files to either *.jpg or *.png depending on which is more (...) (21 years ago, 11-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)
| | | | | Re: Brickshelf Viewer
|
| (...) I'll second that - provided there is an option to turn it off at my discretion. Like Kevin said, there are some things that it would be very bad to do conversions on. But the overall idea is good. Could probably save a good deal of space on (...) (21 years ago, 11-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish, FTX)

| | | | | Re: Brickshelf Viewer

| (...) Converting to PNG would avoid those problems. The compression ratio generally isn't as good as JPEG but it's a heckuvalot smaller than a BMP. Steve (21 years ago, 11-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)

| | | | | Re: Brickshelf Viewer (and MIME types)
|
| (...) I created this readme when we built the BSD offscreen only (no X) version for Peeron. (URL) think it covers just about everything. If you only want 128x128 thumbs you can skip the step about reconfiguring Mesa for larger images. Enjoy, Don (21 years ago, 10-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish, lugnet.cad)

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 (...)

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)

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)
