AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
Shartley, I did NOT get a confirmation when I emailed my entry in... And I don't exactly know how to take that. At least it didn't bounce, so I know it got there.
I keep seeing changes to the rules. Do I need to have a check box for the different types of triggers, and if so what types are going to be offered? Also do I need to have a picture of the trigger in the packaging somehow or does it not matter. Also, does it matter if the pannels are not square (i.e oval)? If you don't understand I can send you one of the ones I have already submitted and you can let me know if I am doing this right. Thanks.
That is because "clarifications" have been added. And some rules were added because originally we felt some flexibility would be a good thing. However, we soon saw that people just did not "get" it. The skill and knowledge levels of the contestants were SO varying, that we had to modify the rules so the less knowledgeable would not be left behind.
Do I need to have a check box for the different types of triggers, and if so what types are going to be offered?
Nowhere in the official rules does it state you MUST have a check box. Is was a recommendation (a strong one, yes, but not an official rule).
And what types will be offered has already been answered. As stated earlier, not reading what was already written is insulting.
Also do I need to have a picture of the trigger in the packaging somehow or does it not matter.
Again, it was never in the rules. It was a suggestion, and many people asked for better pictures that they could use... so Tom provided them.
Also, does it matter if the pannels are not square (i.e oval)?
Yes it matters! If you can show me some software that allows you to produce a graphic image that is not matted in a square (or rectangle) format, I would be most delighted to see it.
Now, if you mean the design ON the panels being oval, sure, that is fine. You can make the "design" any shape you want, as long as it fits within the exact panel dimensions provided in the official rules. The actual printing will be done on the exact dimensions as stated, and NO cutting of the insert will be done (aside from standard trimming). It will only be bent.
If you don't understand I can send you one of the ones I have already submitted and you can let me know if I am doing this right.
