Straight Dope Message Board Portrait Gallery
As you may have noticed, the members of the Straight Dope Message Board seem interested in seeing pictures of their fellow board members (as you can tell by the many discussions on the topic). This site can serve as a portrait gallery for those who would like to share a visual aperçu of themselves with their fellow posters. You can have your own picture here too!
How to send in a photo
To have your photo here, send an e-mail to aw@nouilles.info with the picture and your SDMB username. Or send a Private Message at the board to Arnold Winkelried with a link to your photo. Include at least these things: a link to your SDMB Profile, the date the picture was taken, and a caption (description) of the photo. The general guidelines (these are not hard and fast rules) are:
- Size? Bigger is better!
Submit a good quality photo (as big as can fit in an e–mail—I can resize it. I will resize them so that the dimensions are at most 800 x 800 pixels.) - Who?
If there are several people in the photo, please indicate which person is you. - When and what?
Please include an approximate date of when the photo was taken (e.g. 2008, Nov 2009) and a description of what is happening in the photo if the photo is an “action shot”. That will make the gallery more interesting. - How many?
You can send more than one picture if you want. I can include several photos per person. - What kind?
No Not–Safe–For–Work (NSFW) pictures please (using US standards since the message board is based in the USA). I personally have no objections to naked people, but we all know that some people do their browsing at work and I don’t want to have to split up the gallery into two sections, the SFW and the NSFW section. Swimsuit photos are OK. - SDMB Profile
If you could also include a link to your SDMB profile or mention your member ID in the e–mail that would save me the trouble of looking it up (I’m including a link to your profile under your photo.) - Keep it real.
Obviously I have no way of checking this, but the gallery will be more interesting if the photo you send me is actually a photo of yourself and not someone else. To prevent mischievous scamps from playing tricks on me, it would be handy if you would send me the photos using the e-mail address in your SDMB profile. Or if your e–mail address is not public at the SDMB, then send me a Private Message at the board saying “I’m confirming that the e-mail from xyz@example.com is from me.”
Straight Dope Message Board Flickr group
There is a Flickr group for Straight Dope Message Board members: SDMB meets Flickr. It is managed by Zyada and rjk. If you have a Flickr account and post pictures to your account, there’s a button on each picture that allows you to post a picture to a group’s pool. That’s all you have to do.
