Wasn't it recently said all images should be uploaded to Habbox, due to the fact of Danube removing his account or something..
Wasnt it always the rule?
Just lazy managers not uploading to the server. :P

[scottish]

Yeh but got dismissed as management took way too long to upload the images or something, so if a rare got released it couldn't get put on habbox as the image wasn't there :P something like that :S and as RVM can't upload the image themself they can't do nothing


imho they should just crease a section like /images/rares or something and give manager FTP access to it to add images, wahts worst they can do.. and its not as if the manager should be untrustworthy..

[Alkaz]

I thought they add access to upload images? :S

And ye, about what you said about when a new rare comes out, it needs one RVM and maybe an ARVM a week or so to sit down and upload any outstanding non-uploaded pictures then as a new rare comes out it will take 5 mins to add it if they havnt got the picture and less if thy have.

[scottish]

From what im aware jin / (a)gm's have to upload the images... so apparently not? :p

[Alkaz]

I always thought that when Jake was RVM he could upload pictures, also, (asst) content managers can upload images too :P

[Immenseman]

Manager aren't allowed to upload images onto the server when I was there (the first time). I used to have to PM ---MAD--- and then wait for him to do it. It's easy for you lot to sit there and blame the manager but there is nothing you as a manager can do. You can collect the images but you will still have to wait for them to be added by a server by somebody who understands how to do so. Whether it's a hard job adding them is irrelevant.

In the end I was the first manager to start using my uploadpicz account because it took too long. There were other rare value sites that would add the images and value instantly yet it'd take me days to have them added thus I took things into my own hands and used uploadpicz. I was assured images would never be deleted from there thus I didn't see why I shouldn't. People remained doing this. It could have so easily been resolved had images been added within 24 hours rather than up to 5 days.

I believe Jin adds them now and when I was there the other month he managed to do them within 24 hours which is obviously a lot better than the previous regime.

Also, about the missing images I wouldn't blame Danube too much. From what I gather the images were deleted by accident and then the blame was taken off the individual in question and placed onto him. I added the majority of what I saw as the "important" images but yeah I didn't add many seasonal/misc because my fundamental aim was to replace the super and normal rare images.

The images should be moved to the server but that'd take hours of work. I can speak for myself and I'm sure the others will agree I will never manually delete any of the images off my account so they should be safe. Of course that is uploadpicz had to delete all images or whatever.

In short, I'm sure Ryan or whoever manages the department are doing whatevery they can to ensure you as a user are given the best quality rare values you can. It's a transitional period for the department in my eyes so you're going to have to be patient.

[Sammeth.]

Netaxes has been working hard to get all the images that are missing, and soon they'll be sent to nvrspk so they can be uploaded properly.

[Immenseman]

I'm not sure what he has but I have loads also. I had the majority collected before I left but just never got around to giving them to Ryan. I don't want to upload if he has them all already :)

[GoldenMerc]

I don't see why managers can't upload to a uploadpicz account, Yes it did go down once but least its faster for the rare to go public really.

[scottish]

Because what happend to Danube when he deleted a bunch of images and majority of habbox's rv images died and changed to picture of cats/chinese people etc.

[Immenseman]

Like I've said before - I doubt he did it himself - he isn't like that. I believe the blame was placed onto him because someone made an oopsie. I don't think managers should use their uploadpicz account but it's so much easier and if they cared about their position then they would because they don't want people waiting for values.

[scottish]

Should be rules in place to prevent incidents like what happend to danube.

[Immenseman]

Elaborate. If you think he deleted the images manually then he isn't going to care about any "rules" because he has no interest in HxF any longer.

[scottish]

Rules to prevent the use of personal accounts to upload images.

As if a member gets fired etc, they could simply have a retaliation and delete images then half of them are screwed...

If they're uploaded on habbox.com server then they can't exactly delete the images can they.

Even if uploadpicz is used for a small period of time when a rare is released, it should then be hosted on habbox.com and changed.

[Immenseman]

Then I suggest you get someone who can upload them as quick as uploadpicz can. People are busy - they can't let their lives revolve around uploading rare value images onto the server. I'm not blaming any individuals but in the past it has taken way too long for images to be added to the server.

What is the alternative? Upload them yourself and allow the images to be shown to the public in a matter of minutes. A matter of a minutes VS 2-3 days - it was always going to happen because all the RVM have cared about Habbox. Not everyone shares the same enthusiasm, unfortunately.

[scottish]

If you read what i said i said; allow them to be uploaded onto peoples uploadpicz but then in 2-3 days once its uploaded on habbox change it.

So for the first few days it would be linked to the uploadpicz image, but after the few days when its finally uploaded on habbox link it to it, so the image is still being posted instantly but there isn't a chance of 50 images going missing due to a manager (accidently or purposely) deleting the images.

I mean it takes about 3 seconds to upload each images so its not a matter of time really...

Maybe that is an option, get one of the content staff access to the images folder with FTP access to only it, a trusted member of the team, and allow them access to upload the images...

I remember when i was staff in 04/05 i was given the job of uploaded pictures (when habbox had a page on hx.com for people who purchased VIP they got a little bit with their name and a picture they wanted on and i'd upload the pictures)...

Don't see why someone else can't do that, it's not exactly hard just get an active person whos in content department or even the RVM himself to upload the pictures then you can't really complain about it taking too long as they'd have the responsibility of uploading the images.

[Immenseman]

What's the point of it being done twice? Hassle that nobody needs.

[scottish]

because we don't lose 50 images and have to wait 3-5 months to get them re-uploaded. :)

Simply that and if you read more than the first few lines you'd see an alternative to uploading on up then hx.

[GoldenMerc]

What about having a upload form in the values panel but only allowing the images to be uploaded (so php ect... cannot be uploaded)
then having the dir habbox.com/rarevalues/images

[Immenseman]

I read it all but it was so much dribble I saw no need to reply :eusa_danc

If you must know - the RVM wasn't trusted. I never asked but I know that was the case with one of the RVM after me.

At Ross, from what I remember one is being integrated with the supposed new panel. A new panel has been promised since the first time I was manager in 2007, 2 years on it still hasn't been produced.

[GoldenMerc]

Panel's arnt that easy to create, surely it would be easier if Habbox just expanded their current panel, i dont see why its that hard, although they are wanting it for free i assume which is hard as Jin will have to get some PHP coders to help. but ye, a simple upload form which only allows images woulnt be bad on the other hand i know management will reply saying what if they upload porn ect... well thats just tough luck unfortually.

yeh, even if it was basic one not as if managers going to tr and exploit it or majority of them won't even know how...

If the RVM isn't trusted then with all due respect, why the hell was he hired, RV is supposed to be the biggest part of habbox (or atleast one of...) and it basically controls habbo UK's prices so if a untrustworthy manager is hired not exactly smart move is it.

[GoldenMerc]

Yeh but i dont think anyone wants the risk of leaving a huge exploit there, even if it is a manager not all managers can be trusted and this has been demonstrated various times, it doesnt take a brain box to go onto a "hacking" forum and find a PHP shell :P

[Immenseman]

Maybe that's what they are doing - I'm not 100% sure. From what I gather the HHGS panel is a lot easier but yet it allows you to do more than Habbox one. Surely the only person who knows the answer that is Dan and he has told me HHGS one is a lot better.

The Habbox one has many flaws and downfalls all of which are being addressed but a new panel has been promised so many times. There has to be a multi upload type thing integrated in and the managers have to be trusted. At the end of the day the manager could put porn on there at the moment if they wanted so that shouldn't be a reply to your point.

[GoldenMerc]

HHGS has 3 panels at the momment, I've seen both panels the Habbox one and the HHGS one, although i saw the Habbox one when Laurence (8f8) tried to sell me it :P, the HHGS one has quite alot although its not nas nicely laid out as the Habbox one and also have much diffrent features. Although the new HHGS panel which dan (test drove) is completely diffrent from any panel and it shows the values page then to change the value of a rare you click the rare or to move it around ect... But thats still in the creation and its up to Dan if he wants it.
Overall panels are just wicked !

[PaulMacC]

I had all the sprites in my pictures folder but my HDD crashed last year and lost them lol.

[nvrspk4]

I'll admit that I haven't really read the replies, just the OP and a few posts on the first page.

What we will probably do is allow managers to put up the UploadPicz image and ask them to immediately get an image to management to upload to Habbox for the moment. However it might be easier to just give them FTP to a rares directory because there's no increased danger...if they can add a new rare and make it display via an uploadpicz image, they could easily just upload a porn image on there. But there is the issue of hacking.

I think there will be a direct upload option without deletion in the new panel which hopefully will be here sooner rather than later, I do know that it's being worked on currently.

PS: Jake if you have images feel free to email me them at [email protected], we're uploading loads to Habbox atm.

[GoldenMerc]

Why not make a new usergroup in uploadpicz then make permissions so the managers can't delete or over right images. then your sorted ?

[Immenseman]

Ah, I've deleted them because they were in my PM inbox. They were sent to me by fitcovboy and there were all the ones that were missing from Habbox atm - I had to delete because obviously I couldn't keep the amount of PMs I could when I was a manager and had hundreds over. Maybe you could get in contact with him but I'm not sure how regular he comes online.

[GoldenMerc]

I have John's mobile number. i dont belive he has the internet anymore he's moved to Liverpool (was orignally living in Coventry) so give him a couple of months and he may log on.

[Immenseman]

He did add me on facebook but I rejected, lol. He was on a few times last month because I remember seeing him. From what I gather most of the images are collected anyway. Although I'd happily help collect them if Ryan asked (I know how to do them now :8)

[GoldenMerc]

yeh he added me on facebook too :P

[Immenseman]

You probably accepted though.

[GoldenMerc]

nah hes still on da deceding list

[Favourtism]

I've seen the RVR Hx Panel when I was ACDM and it is pretty old, even visually. The HHGS one Dan tested is really good and easy to edit rares.

When Habbox spent $200 on the chat... they should of bought a new panel and/or someone who can code joomla layouts seeing as yonders gone ;p

[nvrspk4]

Because sometimes UP has issues. Its rarer now thanks to the lovely Jin's fixes. But on the rare occasions UP has issues we don't want the RVs to be decimated.

[Favourtism]

I hate the chat though :'( It's like

[Immenseman]

Well it has been paid for so just get over it.

[nvrspk4]
