Hi all,

as you might have seen Portkey's new gallery system has been launched by now.

It works in two ways:

You can either recommend media
or you can become a Portkey Artist

However, in both cases you do need to have a forum account and be logged in to do this!

FAQ

Q. What kind of media can I upload as an Artist?
A. We are currently limited to Drawings/Pictures, Wallpapers and Avatars/Icons. But we might change that in the future.

Q. What kind of media can I recommend?
A. You can recommend Drawings/Pictures, Wallpapers, Avatars/Icons, Songs and Videos. We can't allow you to upload songs and videos on the portkey server, since we desperately try to avoid copyright conflicts.

Q. I just uploaded a picture and there is a red border around it. A friend told me he cannot see the newly uploaded picture. Why is that?
A. Each picture has to be approved by a moderator before everyone can see it!
Artists do not need to be Moderated. We've approved their applications or pre-approved them as artists. This means they will automatically have accepted images. However! This does not give artists free rein to upload anything and everything they want! Moderators can still REJECT images if they do not fulfill Portkey's requirements for shipping and such.

This allows moderators to also take questionable material out of view of visitors until a decision can be made concerning the uploaded artwork. Moderators may also delete artwork if it blatantly goes against the sites rules (IE: Posting of any pornography, child pornography, or other non-HP related tasteful artwork.) If such an event occurs, Moderators may also BAN the person responsible from uploading until administrative action can be decided upon.

Q. Do recommendations need to be approved as well?
A. Recommendations of all shapes, sizes, flavors, and colors are Moderated. Anyone with a forum account may recommend artwork so there is more control applied to this feature of the Gallery. This helps us sort out spam, porn sites, and the like so our visitors and members are not subjected to such rubbish.

Q. How long does it take until a Moderator approves my work or recommendation?
A. Usually, when they come online and check for new entries. We can't provide you with an exact time! But it shouldn't take longer than a few hours!

Q. Some entries do have these strange "Recced Image" thumbnails. What does that mean?
A. Thumbnails are only automatically created for Portkey Artist uploads. If you do a recommendation you have to explicitly upload an image of which the thumbnail is created then. If you don't upload an extra image a standard thumbnail, according to the type of your recommendation, will be displayed.

Q. What can I do if somebody claims to be the artist of a certain media, but I know for sure that he/she is not?
A. Use the Report function on the bottom left of each entry and tell us about it.

Q. Some entries do have these strange "Server Down" thumbnails. What does that mean?
A. Well it means just that. The Portkey media server is not responding at the moment.

Q. My image doesn't show up on the first page! Can I delete it and repost so it does?
A. No, you may not. Administrative actions concerning this are in discussions at the moment.

Q. What does the reply link do? Why do I only see it on my uploaded art/recommendation?
A. The reply link allows artists to reply to each comment personally instead of having to enter a comment afterwards. The Portkey Gallery may utilize features from the forums, but it doesn't behave like them. Anything you upload as a Portkey Registered Artist or as a recommender for someone else's art will provide a link for you to reply to any and all comments on the entries you've made.

Q. I worked so hard on my Harry and Hermione (or other Portkey supported ship) artwork and some wanker flamed me for not posting Ron and Hermione (or any other non-Portkey supported ship). What can I do?
A. These 'wankers' are just people who can't comprehend someone thinking in a way other than them, are 'trolls' who like to cause trouble, or any other form of person who may want to cause trouble. If the comment they leave is truely offensive and the artwork they have 'flamed' is yours, you have every right to delete that comment with the DELETE link. You may also report the troublemaking comment with the REPORT link and moderators will be able to look into the matter. Please do not remove the comment before a moderator looks at it if you report the offense or it will be difficult to track the person down. We are currently looking for ways to improve the reporting capabilities of the Gallery for better 'grief' protection of our members. One good thing? All IPs are logged when a comment is left for our safety in case someone tries something against our site. So, if the person thinks they can get away with what they're doing, we can report them to their ISP if the offense is bad enough to warrant it.

Q. I try to reply to comments in my art entry but nothing happens/I can't reply! What's wrong?
A. To save on bandwidth, we've decided to use a combination of different web technologies and network communication protocols. One of these nifty features is javascript, in particular, javascript popup windowing. When you reply to a comment, a popup window should appear and allow you to reply. If, for some reason, this window doesn't appear, there might be a good chance that you have a popup blocker turned on and it's causing problems with this functionality. Microsoft integrated this into internet explorer without warning and this could conceivably be the problem. Moderators who can't pre-approve artists or perform some of the other modly gallery duties might want to be sure their browser isn't blocking popups or they'll have problems as well. If, you still can't reply (after you've enabled portkey's ability to display popups) report the bug here so that Excalibur can track down the bug.

Q. When I go to the gallery, I'm seeing all the images available on one page but the gallery tells me there are others! What's wrong?
A. There is a bug we are tracking down that causes this. The best way to fix it is to go to another gallery view (by clicking on the radio button next to the gallery view's name) and then back to the view you had the problem with. That should return the gallery to it's proper functionality. Again, we know of this bug and are trying to track it down for the next episode of Fear Factor (We don't eat bugs...).

Q. I would like to contact one of the people who have commented on my artwork or recommendation. Or I would like to contact the artist of this fine piece of work. How can I do this?
A. We have implemented a very handy feature that allows you to view a user's contact card. All you have to do is click on their name! That's it. A popup window will be displayed and you'll be able to choose their email or a forum private message. In addition, they may have included their MSN messenger id, Y!IM id, AIM id, etc. so you'll have different wasy to contact someone. If you'd like people to contact you, go to the forums here: The Porktey Forums: Kindred Spirits and click on the link to your control panel. Everything is there for you to add to or remove! You can even hide the link to your email if you want to.

Q. What are the three radio buttons at the top of the gallery's main view for?
A. These radio buttons allow you to select you you view the Portkey Gallery! Each changes how you view the contents people have contributed and each person will have their own preferences. Anyway, Line View will display the most records per page. It doesn't show the images, just the title, artist, and some statistics like a spreadsheet would. This is the fastest to display for those with slow connections and all you have to do is click on the title of the artwork and you'll be taken to the detailed view. Speaking of detailed views, there is the Detailed Line View next. It will display the least number of records per page. Basically it will display the detailed view of each image. The comments are not shown in this view, but you can click on the comment count to take you to the full detailed record. Clicking in the thumbnail will show the main piece of art directly and you can view the comments there as well. Lastly, there's the Gallery View. This view is the default view for Portkey's Gallery. It displays the most images and clicking on an image or it's comments count will take you to the detailed view where you can view comments and read information about the art or recommendation. I hope you try out each one and find the view you like best!.

Q. I only want to see Harry/Hermione artwork (no recommendations), and sorted by the number of views! The search feature doesn't work! How can I do that?
A. Have no fear! When I started the gallery, I wanted to have at least minimal sorting/filtering included. Luckily for you, I did just that! At the bottom of the page is what's called: The filter block. In this handy control you can choose which ship you want to see, whether it's art, recommendation, or both, quite a few fields to sort by, and an order to how the records are displayed. Currently, we can sort by: Post date, title, rating, size, dimensions, duration, artist, recommender, number of views, and number of comments *whew*. The search feature will be included at a later date and I hope to make it truly robust. Until then, I think the filter block is pretty powerful for a simple sort and filter... Keyword searches and such will be here eventually.

Q. I'm trying to recommend something or upload artwork, but I'm getting a message: 'We are currently DEBUGGING the Upload features, please be patient.' Is there something wrong with the gallery? What about my artwork?
A. Hopefully, there is nothing wrong, but from time to time a Gremlin tries to feed us a bug or three and we have to collect debugging information. How do we do this? We can't say but it helps us immensely when trying to figure out what's wrong. The message means just that, we are currently debugging the upload and recommendation features in an attempt to make things work more smoothly. Other times, we are enhancing the system and testing for bugs from our new code. Either way, there is nothing wrong with your current contributions and if there were, we'd contact you as soon as we discovered the problem. If you see this message, please be patient while we do our work. If you'd really, really like to upload something, please feel free to leave a message in the forums and hopefully we'll be able to let you know the status of when we'll be finished.

Q. I'd like to recommend a piece of art or an artist's website, are there any problems with doing this?
A. Usually there isn't but some artists require that you email them and ask first, also, they may have certain requisites to linking to their stuff. Below is a list of artists that have been asked and their requirements for linking to their pieces, please respect this list, we don't want to anger the people we're trying to promote, do we?

Muddgutts: Recommending art is cool with him.
Kristin Bergh (Chamber of Keys): You must drop her an email to ask if you may recommend one of her pieces and you must link back to her front page (due to her hit counter and everything working only there...)

Q. I uploaded an image and when I tried to edit the image because of some reason, the title didn't show up. What happened?
A. You probably used double quotes (") around the title of your image. I'm not sure if most people know this but when a field in a form asks for the title of something, you generally don't have to add the double quotes around it like you would in a book report or other literary work. Just use the title of the image and everything will turn out ok.

Q. I want to be a Portkey Registered Artist, can I give you a link to my videos?
A. Portkey Registered Artists must provide a link to an image gallery or an image. Portkey Registered Artists are allowed to upload avatars, drawings, and wallpapers only. You may recommend your videos, but unless you have the three previously mentioned categories available for upload, you will not become a Portkey Registered Artist.

Q. I put an img link to my image and it doesn't work! Why?
A. This is not the Portkey Forums (Kindred Spirits), this is the Portkey Gallery, a completely custom addition to Portkey. If something asks for a link to an image, please, just put the url, the img and /img tags do not work.

Thanks in advance,

You are actually not limited to just drawings. You can already upload wallpapers and avatars as well, if you have an artist account... If you mean something like windows .ico files, that might be implemented in the future, but this is, afterall, a fanart gallery, not a desktop theme site

I would say, computer generated graphics, altered photos, and such should fall under the wallpaper category for now. We may implement other art/image formats in the future.

It's been tested by us to be of what we wanted. It's a recommendation system for artworks, fanvideos, music, icons, wallpapers and more. It's also a fanart gallery. Images can be uploaded - of " ships " variety or of general categories. Recommendations can be made for artists, artworks, wallpapers, icons, videos, etc.

Are icons for the forums considered fanart and could they be post in the gallery?
personally having a place for ship theemed icons in the gallery would be nice.

I am a icon maker but before I was I know tt is sometimes hard to find icons and therefore there would be a place to find and snatch icons for the forums. for those who do not want spend hours looking on the web for a shiper icon.

Buh? I didn't take suggestions from any of them... I was given a project to do and I coded it with what I thought the gallery needed with a bit of guideline from NAPPA and Theiving Magpie (Magpie started the project, I just ran with it). I didn't know any of the others even said a word about it...

You didn't directly hear their suggestions; but you got them indirectly. NAPPA and Magpie obviously got some inputs from that thread I linked.

They were also partly prodded by it. Of course, you 3 drew from your formidable arsenal of ideas and skills too.

hmm I'll take a look at that... make sure you're not saving the image as a progressive jpeg (baaaaaad format) or a jpeg 2000. I had problems with that at one point but it only happened with a specific progessive jpeg image.

I'll see if your image is in your upload cache on the server and see if I can find out what the problem is. PM me the image filename and I'll see what I can find out.

Is this the only time this has happened to you? What browser are you using? What operating system are you using? If it's windows XP, what is the service pack you're upgraded to? If you're on MacOS make sure you have .jpg appeneded to the filename because I think I check that to filter out bad extensions (one of the things I detest about some OSes, relying on file extension to determine the action to be performed... files have header information for a reason!... *sigh*) (and I just plain hate macs... heh no offense to those who use them)

Anyway, a bit more information would be good. There was a mime type problem with windows xp and html when working with internet explorer, there might be a problem with some other filetypes as well...

I have the same problem as Yamatoking when I want to upload the thumbnail pic for my video recommended. it's say "The Filetype is not correct!" that make me confuse because 5 video before this(well before the last time gallery maintenace) I can upload the thumbnail pic freely no problem at all.

well this is my pic http://img183.exs.cx/img183/6008/forever5za.jpg it's .jpg I don't know it's progressive jpeg or a jpeg 2000 like you said or not my browser is I.E.6.0 my operating system is XP package2(d/l) and it's just first time that I got this problem til I recommended my next video I will tell you again that I still having problem or not.

Have you tried using FireFox yet? I know it might be inconvienent to download a free web browser that you're not used to, but I've noticed problems that occur with IE6 and WinXP Sp 2 don't affect FireFox at all. I don't have the link directly, but it might still be on the portkey main page.

I only ask that you try because it could point out an issue with WinXP Sp 2 and IE6 that I can't fix. If the problem still happens, it would point to the gallery's code.

This should have gone into the BUGS list, but I'll answer it here.

It's a known bug that I'm trying to fix.

I've been busy with school and RL and not able to get to the bugs as quickly as I'd have liked.

So, to make a long story short: This is a bug and I'm working on it

Sorry about that...

Oh, sorry. I didn't know it was a bug. I thought I might be doing something wrong while viewing the comments.

Well, thanks for the help.

Heya, I tried to get an Artist account, and I don't think it went through properly. I put in the url of my pic, then clicked to submit, and it just came up with a load of html....

I'll see what's going on, it could be debug info, it could be a bug

PM me your art link and I'll check it out.

I have a question... maybe it's on here and I missed it, but... let's say you upload a picture and then realize you made a mistake on it and want to re-upload a corrected version of the picture. Can you do that without deleting the picture and losing the comments?

Thanks~

Right now? Not through the current interface, it is in the planning stages, however. Sorry about that. Perhaps you could wait a bit, I'll be putting an announcment up when that feature is in, then you can upload the corrected image then.

Another question~

Is there (or will there be in the future) a way to view all art by a specific artist on the same page?

Thanks.

Hello,
I seem to have the same problem as Epona I tried to get an artist account but somehow it didn't work. What can I do?

Would it help if I just name the requested url here? It's
Harry & Hermione (with books)

Thank you very much in advance, Odyssey

Nevermind, I found out what the problem is, your artist app went in, I'll check it out.

You'll need to wait a bit. Live Journal is being a pain in the arse.

No, there seems to be problems with both www.portkey.org and gallery.portkey.org, it isn't just you. NAPPA has been notified about the issue.

Ok. I'm officially stupid!
I have a little problem when updating...I swear I read over and over the FAQs but I didn't found anyone with that problem
Maybe I'm a little lost because English is not my mother languaje or something...

So, there's my problem. I want to update a drawing. I do everything but the Finish clic stay inactive so I can't update. Why is that? What I do wrong?
I Know that before the image is update to the gallery firts a moderator take it but how them see it if I can't finish the proces.

Sorry for the inconvenient. And thank you for your help
