Attention!! Collection Archiving Procedure....Please Read.

Hey everybody!

I'm gonna lay down some procedures I would like for us to follow so that we can get the ball rolling on Archiving all you guys (and gals) collections.

There are gonna be some guidelines that need to be followed, these guidelines will make it easier for all of us in the end. This applies to everyone that is interested in having their collection archived here at TFW2005

1. Pictures.....lots of them...thats what I want to see...and I mean a lot of them too! I know you all have some good sized collections, the more pics, the merrier.

2. Take your time, shoot some really nice photos of your stuff. Also, take some time and edit your pics. Crop off dead space when possible. Use good lighting...theres nothing worse than trying to make out whats in a blurry or dimly lit pic.

3. Name your files!....please do this!! I don't want to get pics that have goofy "camera gibberish" names. The BEST way to name your files is to simply title it what series of your collection it is, followed by a space, and then 001. for example: Alternators 001, Alternators 002, Alternators 003, etc. When you're doing this, you can easily set it up so that it will display them in the order in which you want them to, plus having the extra zeros in there keeps you from having order problems when you hit the numbers 10 and up.

Example:
NOT Accepted: DSC5323501.jpg
NOT Accepted: SeekerswingsG1zoomed.jpg
Accepted: Seekers G1 001.jpg
4. So, you have followed the steps above, and now it gets even easier for you!

Place all your pics that you want to submit into a ZIP file.... ZIPping up all your pics together not only makes it so you only have one single item to upload, but it also makes things tremendously easy for myself as well. I would only have to download one file this way. Once I unZIP it, it will automatically create a folder on my computer with all your stuff in it.

All you have to do then is email the ZIPped file to me here

Please copy the email address into your email program if you are having a problem using the link above


Make sure you include your board/username in the title of your email!!

Please resize your pics/files before sending them. There is no reason that one pic has to be over 200KB in size. All pics need to be within this size. A little over is o.k. Pics that are over 250KB have to be resized before they can be uploaded. Please take the time to do this.

Example:
Plowkings Alternator Collection
Once I receive them, I'll go thru them, make sure that they are all good, if there are any problems, I will contact you here and let you know what I need.

After all that is said and done, I will go about the process of adding them to the Collections Gallery.

So lets get those cameras going!!

EDIT: New Collections added.

Omegus Primes Collection

Blue Meanies Collection

Vector-Sigma's Collection

Rodster6's Collection

Yami4ct's Collection

Miasboytoy's Collection

I'm going to have to take all new pics since the ones in my collection thread are old and my set-up has changed since then. Oh, well. Been meaning to do that anyway!

Is there any collection size required? I mean, are you looking for 200+ collection, o does my 60 TFs collection have a space there as well?
