sorry...Do you ever post anything that someone points out and you're like, "Oh, I'm an idiot. SWEET!" Well, that just happened. I posted really late, excuse my mistake.

Keanu it is!

Yeah, I've heard the 3rd one is garbage. Definitely a negative linear progression...Or maybe even logarithmic :confused: :eek: !

Not to take this thread completely off subject and I give this post complete mod authorization for deletion.

The 3rd Matrix was is better then the 2nd one hands down. If you walk away with it with questions other then what they could do after it then you weren't paying attention.

This thread should have been locked or hosted elsewhere than the forums... now Dr.Q's work will fade into dead thread history... a shame.

I'll have a great new photo after this weekend (November 23rd is Jellomania 2!). :D

Actually if the mods really want to they can spin all the posts in this thread off into a related thread and just leave the 3 posts at the beginning containing the members and the links to their photos. The thread will not die.

Don't forget the 4th post. It is less fun, but important too.

I don't think it's a problem if posts in the rest of this thread get off topic, as long as the first 4 are there. It's certainly an unusual thread, because almost all return visitors read the first posts instead of the last posts and, despite all the viewing, most people don't have a reason to subscribe to the thread.

There's probably no way to tell, but I'll bet I have the record (and probably 2nd and 3rd place too) for the most edits to a single post. And not many threads have a #views to #replies ratio of over 100!

When the first three posts eventually get too big (there's a post size limit), something will have to change. Maybe the mods can insert or reorder posts so I can expand the alphabetic list to N posts instead of 3, while leaving them all at the beginning of the thread, or maybe a replacement thread will be needed.

We don't really have too many options for reordering/inserting posts.

If you can figure out a scheme you like, make a new thread and I'll stick and lock it.

The post size issue is going to be the toughest part to get around, but as long as you give yourself enough leeway, it should work.

New feature!

Yes, as it turns out. I've added what joed suggested. You can now click on a member name to go to that member's profile.

They said it couldn't be done!

Actually, I was the one who said that, because I thought the post size limit would be exceeded by all the tags I'd have to insert. But arn came to the rescue with some new tag shortcuts, and the impossible is now possible. Thanks, arn!

I entered the member numbers by hand, so I may not have gotten them all right. If someone would volunteer to click once on each member name and see if the correct member's profile comes up, I'd appreciate the double-check.

Sorry, it's not perfect. Photos are to be posted in the MacRumors pics! thread, not in this thread. You should repeat your post there, even though it won't be #100 any more.

People read the top of this thread to look up a member by name. People read the newest posts in the "pics!" thread to see newly posted photos like yours. Once you post your photo in "pics!", your name will show up in the directory at the top of this thread.

New feature

There is a minor new feature in the MacRumors Members Photo Directory. The top of the first post now shows the total numbers of members and the total number of photo links in the Directory. Since some off-site links take you to multiple photos, the total number of member photos represented is a few dozen more than the number of links.

The current counts are 147 members and 235 photo links.

Sooo...

Is this gonna work?

I mean its been down since the new forums have been placed in...

Mods, Arn, Doctor Q -- I loved this Directory... any word ?

There's a lot of work to be done on the forums yet I'm sure that this is in the que though. The best way to find out is to PM a mod or Arn.

Technically, the problem is that the old attachment numbers don't work. So I have to start over from scratch in the Pics thread. Unless something in vBulletin 3 can fetch images using the old numbers. I'm haven't gotten the answer about that yet.

However, the Directory's purpose is also in question. Please post your thoughts about the issue in the New Feature: Profile Photos thread.
