Title: CAPTION CONTEST newly relaunched
Post by: Joeno on December 02, 2007, 13:53
People of the united PKMN.NET

We have, after many deliberations, decided to relaunch a feature that has been part of the site for some time, but had been removed with v9's release. It is back now, new and slightly better.

There's a large help thing included with the feature. You can suggest your own images, and vote the captions of others.

But really, instead of talking about it, just go there now!

Caption Contest! (http://pkmn.net/?action=caption)

Oh, and we've heard that rule 20 left a mark there. I haven't found it yet, but if you spot it, let us know. It might make sense in a few weeks.

Yeah... the results page doesn't work properly...

Darn... I missed out one of the captions... Two have come on very quickly...

Yeah I missed the May being attacked by a leaf....

Its good that you've brought it back!
Title: Re: CAPTION CONTEST newly relaunched
Post by: Joeno on December 23, 2007, 12:26
It's a new one every Sunday. Surely that should be enough to keep up.

I've fixed the issue with the results for a caption not showing up. In cases like these, you can also use the report errors link on a related page of the feature, as long as you clearly indicate where things are going wrong.

Can I use a tinypic code to upload an image suggstion?
Title: Re: CAPTION CONTEST newly relaunched
Post by: Trainer Dave on December 23, 2007, 16:09
Yeah. That's a point. On the finished captions screens are the numbers by captions according to the score given (as i'd expect) or are they in the order that the captoins were submitted and the ones which were rated positively appear? -Just checking really...
Title: Re: CAPTION CONTEST newly relaunched

As I said, use a related page. Go back, and click the link on the main Captions page.

No, only images hosted by us are accepted.

They are ordered based on the score given to them in the final vote (so when they are in the third 'stage', as shown on the main caption contest page)

Invalid host. Only images on PKMN.NET are accepted

Title: Re: CAPTION CONTEST newly relaunched
Post by: Joeno on December 27, 2007, 20:59
Yes. What is your problem? That image isn't on our server. It's not on PKMN.NET.

Aahh... I think I see... does it have to be off the site/saved under PKMN?
Title: Re: CAPTION CONTEST newly relaunched
Post by: Joeno on December 28, 2007, 19:59
Pretty much, yes.

Basically, you need to be able to refer to it with an URL starting with http://pkmn.net/
Title: Re: CAPTION CONTEST newly relaunched
Post by: Utack and Swampy on January 20, 2008, 18:31
^I'm confused. How does one go about doing that? Do we just put it in a topic somewhere or somthing?
Title: Re: CAPTION CONTEST newly relaunched
Post by: Shaymin on January 20, 2008, 18:45
I tried one that was saved on to PKMN.NET, but it stil didn't work

No, it must have been uploaded to the site already. Only images you find on the site can be used. You don't pick just any of your own pictures, you use one of the images we have.

I tried one that was saved on to PKMN.NET, but it stil didn't work

What's the URL to the image, so we can check it out? I can't see what's going wrong if you don't tell me basic information like that.

I don't know how to get the url, but I could giveyou the link : http://pkmn.net/?action=gallery&page=viewpic&id=30542
Title: Re: CAPTION CONTEST newly relaunched
Post by: Joeno on January 20, 2008, 20:10
You need to add the URL of the image when suggesting an image. If you can't get the proper URL, it will obviously fail to submit.

OK, I understand now. Thanks Joeno.

And how would I find out about the url?
Title: Re: CAPTION CONTEST newly relaunched
Post by: Anarcree on January 21, 2008, 22:36
Right-click on the image and then go to Properties. The URL should be in there. Just copy it and paste it where you want it.
