You can now create and upload images for your awards. Please follow the onscreen instructions EXACTLY. There is no going back and editing award names or re-uploading over images at this point. To be honest perhaps not in future either. Award images should be thouroughly ready for this stage BEFORE you decide to create the award. That is you need the award image designed and sized properly and Operation-level campaigns have a larger 50 x 50 pixel image that must have a transparent background. The smaller Mission-level ribbons are now standardized at [CORRECTION] 50 wide x 20 pixels tall. If you put a 300 x 80 pixel image in 2 things are going to happen. One it won't upload as the file size will be too big, and even if it did the image is far too large to display properly on a members profile page. Images must be smaller than 1000 BYTES (not Kilo-bytes).

More blunt version: IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CREATE AND SIZE IMAGES YOU SHOULD NOT BE ADDING THE AWARD. Let the campaign mananger or myself do it.

Thanks,
Jim

ACK!

Gunnie

ACK, is right I already messed it up for Project X. Have to humbly ask for help to fix it.

ACK.

Jim - this is pretty slick! I uploaded and awarded several T2K: 2003 Ribbons already. Nice system.

Gunnie

Gunnie,
Lol...sorry I typo'd above. The ribbons are suppose to be 50 x 20 pixels (not 100). We will have to fix that one.

Jim

Anyone want to take on a cold files case?

I'm more than willing to give this a shot if I can be promoted to the leader of the "Big-N-Small" figure campaign that ended in June of 2003 -- since that leader is now long gone.

Those who finished are included in the thread below:

Or if there is another way, please let me know.
Thanks guys!

No problemo - do you want me to redo that one and remove the awards presently given?

Gunnie

I just messed up the Around the World award. I went by the 50x50 pixel size (actual size was 48x25) and as I uploaded the award I got a message _NOT AUTHORIZED_ or something along those lines. Now the award is the dreaded Red X.

this is the properties of the red X. What'd I do wrong?

Jim, I am more than sure that I will FUBAR this deal before I even start. While I have created an image (ribbon) I am positive that my ignorant self will never be able to size and post this deal. Taking your advice I would greatly appreciate your assistance in this. I am taking care of the "Tank Terror" Campaign. My ribbon is in "My Gallery". First pic. Sorry to ask, but if it ain't point and click, I'm almost surely screwed.
