Computer questions / Re: Attachments

« on: March 09, 2015, 07:36:41 am »

From Steve Good.

There are problems with the Community forum. For those of you who are members there please know that I am working on the issue. Most the the attachments for the posts such as pictures were lost. My hosting service allows unlimited storage but only if it does not cause the server issues. Apparently it was causing issues and they were only giving me a few hours to fix it or be shut down. I was trying to delete only the older attachments but they all got deleted. I'm trying to recover the lost images but no luck so far.

The size of the storage space for attachments adds up pretty quickly. I have to forum software set to delete post attachments after so many days but it does not seem to be working. I want to be able to continue to host the attachments on my server but if I can't get it worked out I may have to only accept offsite attachment hosting. Sorry for the trouble.

Pattern Requests. / Re: nightmare

« on: March 03, 2015, 07:33:15 am »

Read before posting Patterns.

Everyone needs to read the bulletin Steve posted in Bulletins and News (Pattern Uploads. Must Read) on Posting Patterns. This is a very serious issue.

 If you create a pattern make sure you are not violating any trademark or copyrights. For example, uploading a pattern of the Harley Davidson emblem is a no-no. Disney characters, School mascots, College mascots, NFL, NASCAR, NHL, MLB, NBA and some celebrity images, etc... are all on the forbidden list.

Pattern Requests. / Charles Dearing

« on: March 02, 2015, 10:01:16 am »

Pattern Special from Charlie. Wow what a sale. If you where ever interested in any of his patterns this is a great opportunity. 

From Charles web page http://www.woodenvisions.com/

For a very short time I am offering all 14 e-books for $100. If you bought them separately that would be $140. You also have the option to buy just 7 of them for $50. YOU pick which 7. To order them, go to paypal and send payment to artistic_cowboy30@yahoo.com. If you?re doing the 7 book deal then please put which 7 books you would like into the description area of the paypal transaction.
Also, think of this if you?re hesitant to buy the e-books. If you were to buy 5 or 6 patterns individually, that would be $35-$42. Kind of makes that $9.99 look good doesn?t it? If you were to buy all of the patterns individually that are in all 14 e-books (69 patterns), that would be WAY more than $100. Even when this special ends, $140 is still one heck of a savings off of what you would be paying to buy each pattern individually. More books coming soon, but the sale is ending any day now.

Individual e-books can still be purchased for $9.99 if you choose.

Ask Steve a question. / Re: Name pattern program

« on: February 26, 2015, 03:28:57 am »

I can assure you Steve Good does not put malware/viruses etc in any of his Name Pattern Programs. When you visit his site you should notice the Site Lock Malware Free emblem in the right bottom corner of the page. His site is constantly being monitored to insure it is malware free. 

The person that made that statement either didn't download Steve's program from Steve's site and stumbled upon it on a rogue site or is trying to mislead people.

I would be willing to bet that they are misleading people because they have nothing better to do.

Steve has a regular full time job and tries to have a personal life. Add to that his heavy workload in taking care of his blog, making patterns and videos, answering e-mail.

Unfortunately that does not leave him a lot of time to visit the forum and answer questions here and he does not make custom patterns.

You might want to try posting a picture in Pattern Requests category and see if someone will help you.

I wouldn't use Inkscape for portraits, it is for vector graphics not raster graphics. Raster images are made of pixels. A pixel is a single point or the smallest single element in a display device. Vector images are mathematical calculations from one point to another that form geometrical shapes.

Gimp is a good free software for making patterns from photographs. You can download it here Gimp Free Download.
