Will do.

Whilst you are being bombarded with suggestions, it would be nice to be able to post more than one pic per problem. I'd hate to think I was blocking someone from sticking up a totally classic photo, with my dodgy snapshot. I imagine this might create bandwidth issues, but it would be good.

At the risk of sounding daft. How does this site actually work?

I registered and tried to put a problem on it. Now I can't find any mention of it or of anybody else's for that matter. What's a man to do?

Bonjoy · February 01, 2007, 01:16:14 pm

I can see your prob yoot, but it doesn't have a picture (suggestion - resize pic to below 300kb), so no waddage yet.
Try zooming in or out. You will only see the prob if it is within the map shown on the right. Navigate to Curbar area and you should definately see it.

Bonjoy · February 01, 2007, 01:18:16 pm

BTW you have stuck your location pin on White Edge!

Fatboy · February 01, 2007, 01:32:27 pm

Done it!!

Bonjoy · February 01, 2007, 01:47:15 pm

Where's your prob? I can't be just handing out this wadding willy nilly.

El Mocho · February 01, 2007, 02:09:35 pm

added a few. Gone North (UK) and South (World)

Nice site.

Stubbs · February 01, 2007, 02:34:36 pm

Added a US one to make the site additions more international.

Greg has been busy

Nibile · February 01, 2007, 04:25:10 pm

i have many pics of val di mello, meschia, my local area, annot, cresciano and ceriola.
is it of any help?

Greg C · February 01, 2007, 04:36:42 pm

It's web 2.2 - i.e. let the punters do the work. Power to the people.

Go for it yoot. You input everything youself and the site automatically generates the entry.

Hmmm the new graded list on Lakesbloc would seem to suggest otherwise, good work sir

Blunk · February 01, 2007, 07:06:01 pm

Added 3 US sites, damn I could waste a lot of time doing this! Enough for one day I think...

Somebody's Fool · February 01, 2007, 07:34:04 pm

Hopefully going to go out posing for Strong Lass tomorrow. Then I'll picture it up. I just guessed with the arrow, I didn't zoom in enough. I'll adjust it now.

Nibile · February 01, 2007, 08:46:51 pm

does not accept my pic??????

Carnage · February 01, 2007, 10:02:13 pm

I've pitched in for the Oz contingent, to add to the internationality. Good site

- I'll add more when I can.

Bouldr Matt · February 01, 2007, 10:34:33 pm

@r-man: Thanks for taking the time go into detail with your suggestions - that really helps a lot - I have such a large number of things to run through now that I think I'm going to be very busy for the next six months at least!

@fatdoc: Yeah - neither my mate nor I own a Mac, so the issues with Safari have gone unnoticed up to now! We're going to be looking at getting it working ASAP - Bouldr needs to be available for everyone to use.

We're looking into the issues with the image upload - it's an odd one, as the problem occurs only on the production server, but we'll sort it soon! For now, if you resize to ~300Kb, it tends to be OK. Sorry for the extra messing about!

In the meantime, if you love Bouldr, please invite your friends and bookmark us on delicious to help spread the word. Thanks to everyone that has contributed - with this sort of momentum, Bouldr will soon be a resource that everyone can enjoy!

I have just realised I wasn't the one being thick, it was the Apple Mac. I've been on a PC and tried to adjust my wayward arrow but can't seem to do it. Any ideas?

Bonjoy · February 02, 2007, 10:42:48 am

If you PM me your username and password i'll have a go on my PC, then we'll know for sure if it something you're doing wrong. You can always change your password afterwards or re-register.

Nibile · February 02, 2007, 11:32:46 am

sorry, but how do i resize a pic?

SA Chris · February 02, 2007, 11:57:13 am

Need to use something like Photoshop, GIMP or Irfanview (both last two free to download).

You can use Microsoft picture manager, but results are poor

Bonjoy · February 02, 2007, 12:46:32 pm

If you have picture saved on a host such as flickr you can always right click on the scaled version and 'Save picture as...', then post this up. Or find any relevant pics you have on UKB and save these as they must already be resized.
If you are resizing using a decent program it's always worth re-sharpening the image after the resize as some definition will have been lost.

Stuck a few shots of the team in Hueco on Bouldr.
