I have been spending some of my spare time upgrading FPOTM- and I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel for version 2 of FPOTM (my goal is to have it released by the end of the week)...
Pabs and Henrik- I don't know if you have any formal plans for the name of your team?
The upgrade will require a change in the database- that tracks what team you belonged to when you posted your post.
So that your scores are combined I am going to need to create a team for the two of you- I'll send you the password- and you can change it and your team colours afterwards...
Let me know, for when I run the database upgrade, what team name you have decided on.
If I don't get a response- I shall set your team name temporarily to "P and H"- and you can change it later.

Wycco,
Pabs and I have agreed on the name to be:
Almighty Motorsport
And, as da silva said, where would we be without you?
To echo a post I made elsewhere:
All hail King Wycco!!

LOL well thanks guys ... The code is more or less written for FPOTM v2. (all thats left to update is letting people sign up and change their user/team profiles) I'm going to have to write some code to convert the old database to the new one though.

Pabs, Henrik, Did you get the PM I sent you both- regarding your team password? You can change colours, team logo etc on there. If you need me to host a copy of a team logo (this goes for Dream Power too), send me a copy of the pic via e-mail and I'll load it onto the brinkster server. If anyone needs their personal logos putting on the server I can do that too!!!

Wycco,
Thanks, yeah I did get the PM, but I just didn't get around to answering it
About the log, I need to talk to Pabs about that a bit first.
Thanks again
Henrik

Thanks Wycco - I just need to get hold of OT to finalize our new logo. Will send you a PM with the baby. What kind of format do you prefer?

Any web compatible format is OK.
gif's or jpg's save the most space- so it depends what type of image you are doing.
If you're scanning an image- or incorporating photo's .jpg's work best (clearer image).
If you're freehanding an image- or creating one from scratch you may prefer to use a .gif - especially if you have large blocks of one colour- .jpg's tend to put an annoying shadow around free handed graphics- especially if you have areas where one colour is predominant- or you have straight lines!
.bmp's work fine for any type of image- but tend to take up more disk space (FPOTM is currently taking up about 6% of its alloted space on brinkster- but thats with Version 1 database still online!- and I plan to remove this years messages after february's FPOTM!)
Sorry- that was a rather long response to a simple question- so in brief- you choose- certain graphics formats suit different types of images- I imagine .gif would be the best for you though.
Send the image to wycco@excite.com and I'll upload it to Brinkster!

Thanks and will do Boss - It's a simple one but there's a catch. I'll send it to the excite account and you'll let me know what you can do. Have I told you you are a little star? Hold it RX and Pabs - I didn't say LONE star!!!!!
