Topic: Community ideas for the next megapoll.

@Th3solution If you like, how about best art cover from a franchise? We can have multiple franchises of course. Btw, are we going for only one or multiple winners by having separate categories?

@WanderingBullet I'm sure @Th3solution will let us know in a few days.

In the meantime I need to find a picture hosting site. Any recommendations WB? I'm going to get my own shortlist.

@themcnoisy Imgur.com is free and convenient. It’s what is use for uploading my screenshots and if I’d imagine it’d work well for covert art as well.

@nessisonett true. However you forget how amazing Horizon looked, felt and played. Man, if they sort the variety in the gameplay loops HZD2 could be something very very special. Looking back on @Ralizah posts in the HZD thread, I was massively worried he would dislike it. In fact it was the opposite and made me want to revisit the HZD world. Aloy is an awesome character, it's just flipping boss.

Maybe a touch of recently played bias sat in that poll. However I think it's deserved.

@Jaz007 cheers bro. How's life Jaz? We will hook up online later in the week if you want for a chat. Maybe get a couple more of us and play some of the free games.

@themcnoisy Sounds like a plan to me! Are we trying to play something real or find another one like the Casino game to dance in? The best trash I found by skimming the PS Store for that was Atom Universe and Nebula Realms. Neither look they have any need to exist.

@Jaz007 either. I will have some time on Thursday and Friday night

@themcnoisy Sorry, man but I don't know any picture hosting sites. I don't even know how to post my own images here on PushSquare. Was gonna ask when the time comes to submit our Box Art Covers.

@WanderingBullet Uploading images here is just a wee bit of BBCode. The format is img URL /img where you surround the img tags with square brackets. You don’t have to host the image yourself, as long as you get the URL from Google.

@themcnoisy Imgur sucks, but it's the only image hosting solution that seems to stay online. I've found some excellent alternatives over the years, but they always go down.

Just be careful about what you post. They're not good with NSFW stuff.

I usually just host stuff on my Twitter and link to there these days.

Never had a problem with https://imgbb.com/ for image hosting myself.

Although box arts can just be linked direct from whatever comes up on a google image search I guess.

@nessisonett My bad, I meant I don't how to post images that are from my computer. I know how to link images from other websites.

@WanderingBullet No bother, you might have to sign up for imgur as it’s probably the easiest method, albeit rather awful. Hopefully others that might not know how to link images find use from what I posted 😅

@WanderingBullet I use https://imgbb.com/ to get my pics from my device on to here. You don't need to create an account or sign in.

@WanderingBullet @nessisonett @Ralizah @kyleforrester87 @JohnnyShoulder thanks for the replies. imgbb looks like the one to use.

@themcnoisy @WanderingBullet @nessisonett @Ralizah @kyleforrester87 @JohnnyShoulder So does imgbb have an option to place several images on one page in a thumbnail type of fashion so we could arrange having all the submissions at a glance on one page? And if so, can each image be labeled in some way there? Even if it’s “image A” or “cover #1” for easy reference when voting.

@Th3solution Yep it sure does. I'm not sure about the labelling part, but I think what people do is copy the links on to here and then enter the title of the pics after. It even does all the correct brackets and everything so that they post correctly on here.

@JohnnyShoulder Thanks, will check it out when the time comes.

@Th3solution Sorry, I haven't tried posting anything on that site, yet.

I’ve been messing around with imgbb as well as some other image services for the last couple days and it seems like imgbb is going to work fine for our purposes. It’s a little bit temperamental, but it has the essentials. I wish it would allow uploading multiple images at a time, but it should be alright. It has the best labeling system that I’ve found.

I’ve got some infrastructure created and I’m getting close to the ‘go-live’ for the poll.

If anyone wants to throw their hat in the ring to help out, let me know. I could use a couple people as assistants who might want to help with counting votes for me and other extra side tasks. I think a couple people volunteered, but I already forgot who. 😅
I’m going to rely on @themcnoisy to help be in charge of promotion, so when I open things up and create the thread in the next day or so I wonder if you could do one of your large posts of all the people you think might like to participate if you still have a master list from the past.

@Th3solution cheers Sol. I'm so ill mate think I have caught bird flu off Donald Duck. Absolutely horrendous.

Will throw a shout out when you start mate. No problem.
