If you did miss the meeting we hope that you were able to check it out online. We released the URL during the meeting and some of you have already said it was a great idea! We will work to improve the live webcast and keep it going for the meetings. The meeting was a very fun and exciting time. A big "THANKS" to everyone who entered a MOD that night! We did discuss the MUG website and the new Gallery feature. Again we need feedback from the group, textures, tutorials, info, links, ect...to populate the website. Like we've stressed before is the FACT that we have now over 100 members and only 21 members registered to the forum. This will have to change otherwise there will be some changes to the group. You must remember this is a User Group, we need your participation!
Announcement! The Gallery is up and linked! Just hit the gallery button on the main menu. Currently, the gallery is only linked from the FRONT PAGE. The designer of this page, hasn't tem plated the menu buttons and therefore has to go rough every page and link up the button. Shoot an to Russell@hdmg.com and he'll toss you the keys.
We ask that you limit the size of your image to at most 800x600. Aspect ratio doesn't matter. Keep file sizes reasonable by using jpg compression. No animations are being accepted at the moment. This may change in the future.
The gallery will improve as we find the time. One of the functions we'll fire up is gallery email. Should be pretty cool. The MUG thanks the folks at Gallery for their work on such a cool piece of software and keeping it free. (so far) If you don't know you better ask somebody!
