MOC 2020 - Q&A

I literally forgot how to add the pic from the gallery to the threads with them linked. I did it day one and now I can't remember how... stupid chemo brain. I have tried all the links in multiple ways but can't figure it out. Please remind my stupid brain.

Thank you a 1000xs

 

So.... for some reason, my layouts are super fuzzy when I upload them to the gallery. I've tried both FDD's save for web and Paislee's resize for web actions, but they aren't turning out as nice and crisp as a lot of the other images/layouts I'm seeing in the gallery. I can't seem to remember the old school/step by step method. Any advice/hints/tips? TIA

 

Are you on a retina screen? I know that sometimes makes the screen seem fuzzy.

 

I will export for web. Change the dimensions to 600x600 ( for square layouts). Then make sure it's close to, but under 250k.
The action includes a sharpen, and I usually pick 40. When I do it without the action, I don't bother with the sharpen.

 

They look good to me, like not fuzzy (except where I had a fingerprint on my screen but I cleaned it & looks good!

 

@bestcee & @bellbird Thank you! I'll probably stick with my typical routine and just leave them as is. I don't think I'm working with a retina screen and as long as my layout shows up, I'm happy

 

I think I'm confused about linking to the gallery. I post my page in the challenge thread, then my layout thread and then to my gallery. Where do I put the link?

 

I'm not finding a solution to the download issue for the Stackables challenge today (1-6). My tracker says it's going to take over an hour for it to download. There has to be a mistake here. I've never had ANYTHING take more than a minute to download. Has a solution been found?

 

@SharLamb It is a large file - 271mb
Do you have slow internet connection?

 

Thanks Cheryl. I NEVER have trouble downloading. I didn't see your suggestion about rebooting (why didn't I think of that!) until after I got the png files and made the LO. All is well now. Thank you.

 

Super FAST connection...see above for good news! Thx.

 

Hello, I feel like this is a real newbie question: Are we allowed to show the layouts on other social media platforms (e.g. Instagram) after sharing them here? In the guidelines it always says "Uploaded to the TLP Gallery (not an outside hosting site)" - so I was wondering whether that was just true for the initial post, i.e. don't link to an outside gallery in the comments thread, or whether we should not post outside at all.
Many thanks for your help.

You can absolutely share all your fabulous layouts wherever you would like outside of TLP after you post them in our gallery and your threads. They just don't want to you initially post them somewhere else and link to those here in our threads. Make sense?

 

totally makes sense. thanks for the clarification.

 

I had a message in my inbox that one of my challenges did not meet requirements. When I responded no one answered back. How do we resolve an
issue if we get no response back? Thank you,

 

The response back to you may depend on where the host who contacted you lives in relation to where in the world for time zones. Also the said host may not be home or online to be able to respond straight back. Have you understood what they have asked you to correct on your challenge page?
