Default FinalGear v3.5 LAUNCHED!

Please post any bug reports here. images/smilies/smile.gif

Known issues currently being fixed:
  • The two specials (10x00 and 11x00) are a bit messed up
  • Add a form to the chat page to enforce users entering a username (no more mib_blah on IRC)
  • I need to add the poll IDs to all of the episodes so the star ratings show up
  • I need to fix up most episodes by tweaking their data (rip source, etc.)
  • Many episodes (all Fifth Gear episodes) are missing screenshots (anyone wanna help? images/smilies/love.gif)

Anything else (plus feedback), please post here!

I like the new season/episode listings, some nice graphics there, and good usability. I might help out with some Top Gear screenshots, just tell me where I can put them and what size/format you need.

Cap them at 100% size (so we can use them on the Wiki) and I'll resize them to the 200 pixel wide format on the site.

Find a good scene that represents the whole episode (or the main segement) and then upload it to Phyrefile or Imageshack.

Whoaaaa. Niice. Kudos to you, man. Awesome listings, much better than before. images/smilies/thumbup.gif

The only thing though is that the season listing is really busy, it's like sensory overload when the page comes up.

Oh yeah, and I can get screencaps, I'm in the program capping 11x02 right now, I just happened to come online because I remembered I had to tell my friend something. Msg me and I can do any ep if you want.

Looks fine to me!

And incase you didn't know and were doing it a hard method, both VLC and MPC have a "Save Image" feature where you can export the current frame to an image file.
