Hi Icy
I'm sub-editing your centres of triangles Entry here A87829573 <--- don't forget to subscribe

I've applied all the images, I'd be grateful if you'd check them and let me know if anything is incorrect or in the wrong place. I'll get on with the read-through and come back with any queries

Hi GB - yes, there are issues with the images. Need to check a couple of things, then I'll get back to you

OK, there are three problems with the images:

1. the images are blown up, and so lose clarity. I submitted them as sizes approximately 300 wide x 200 high for all except the Napoleon diagram (approx. 300 wide by 350 high). It appears that the artist process has blown them up. Are you able to use the originals? If not, then try setting the width parameter to 300 and see how that looks.

2. One of them has lost its border.

3. The alignment looks awful in Ripley skins (Alabaster, etc). This was also the case for my recent Toblerone entry. I wonder if there's a way to get around this, but I know what Pastey would say if you asked him.


And one text correction (my mistake). Can we make the last sentence: "...it's two thirds of the way from any vertex to the MIDDLE of the opposite side."


Thank you!

You're welcome!

I've corrected the textbut I know nothing of the artist's workings, it's a separate group so I'll have to bring Bluebottle in to this discussion, I've dropped him an email

Hello both

By the power of three, etc...

I've not got access to the artists e-mail address, but I've asked if the original sized versions of the triangle images can be uploaded to the trello page so I can compare. The Napoleon one definitely looks clearer than the others.

As for the alignment, I can't help but agree with Icy that the pictures are conflicting and pushing each other all over the place – perhaps it would be better to EMBED="CENTER". There are too many diagrams for the text to wrap around them neatly and the way the layout is now is confusing as it is unclear which diagram belongs with which body of text.

It looked perfect to me (in Classic Goo) but I have changed all the align=right code to align=center and checked it in Pliny. They all align with their appropriate text now.

In good-old Goo, the Header style keeps the pictures in place, but headers don't work like that in Alabaster and Brunel.

The moral of the story? A362828!

Trust me to get the the last two members of the Goo Fan Club to subedit the entry

Yes, thanks, that alignment looks better with the large images, although it's worth testing it either way when you get the smaller images uploaded.

Oh, and could you pop a border on the Euler line image, please?

When we get this sorted out I may ask you to take another look at Toblerone, but let's get this one fixed first.

it was what attracted me to this site, although when I joined, my Goo was black, I never saw the glorious blue Goo until I stayed at Mina's house the first time. I remember Peta trying to help me but it was a problem with my monitor which was never fixed (I've had multiple computers since then and am now on a laptop).

All the images have been changed, I've applied the new codes, can you check them through? I've got to to visit Mother now

GB

Looks fine to me

<BB<

I can't see a border on the Euler line image, which Icy asked for, but it may be my viewing in Goo's fault

I can see it.

I'll just await Icy's permission to return it to the pending pile then

Congratulations! Your Entry is on the Front Page today
