They should be made to work, and the money the prisons make will mean they can expand for more scumbags

I just wanted to follow the animation theme

to avoid a pitch invasion!

Major Pitch Invasion

When will the fences around the Grass in the Market Place be taken down? There is no point in having them there

Same to you Brian

I hope X Factor dont get another xmas number 1!!!!!!

The chat says 6Pm

Surprisingly it doesn't actually take that much work and equipment to do it.

Bet it takes a lot of money thought

Nice, imagine if Bedlington had one of these 18 Gigapixel things

May be if we decided a time for everyone to go on it, then we would know that it was going to ber used at that certain time so we could log on and chat?

Bring back the live chat or mini me will kick you in

As long as it dosnt over heat after 30 mins of playing i will be happy

Anyone know if Microsoft have thought/decided on a name?

Atleast it looks abit nicer with the front street, will look nicer without the metal fences, the christmas events may not be great but its a start, i think old Bedlington is going to get a bit better as time goes on

Do you know what type of food will be served and if it will be anygood?

Better not just turn out to be another takeaway!

By the looks of it no, never really used it myself

That brought back some good memories, the old footbridge, we used to run up there when the train was comming to let the steam run up our legs, good old days

You enjoyed that a bit to much

This is how almost ALL Google products have been released. Invite only pre-release followed by a public release.

Nice site, i dont many pictures of Bedlington but will be taking a few more after Christmas when the weather gets a bit nicer.

When will people be able to sign up with no invite, i dont want to use it at the moment but its not like Google to limit people to use there products. Seems a bit silly to only let afew people use Google Wave but its proberly just to hype it up.

OK filesize limit was set at 1Mb so I've upped it to 4 until the hosting company starts complaining

Max image display size is 1600x1200 but I think you should be able to upload larger and the image will automatically be resized down. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Total diskspace limit is 50Mb per user but can be upped on request.

Thanks FourGee, Your the man!

I think we know what you mean!

It's pointless uploading multi-megabyte pix to the web because they will take an age to display in a browser. That is unless you want to leave a high resolution version for folks to download for printing etc. You'll also eat up your member allowance in no time if you go over-the-top.

No doubt Fourgee will give us the current guidelines - they change from year to year. But an easy way to find out what is usual is to go into the gallery and right click on the largest images available. The dialogue box should tell you about the image, including the file size.

The best tool to resize depends on what format you are using; what operating system; and whether you are prepared to pay, and how much. I'm more familiar with Linux utilities than Windows. But assuming nothing came in-the-box with your camera a Google around for free image editors will produce a result. A good free image viewer for Windows almost ten years back was Irfan (a guy's name). I'm sure he's still doing it and that it has some editing capability for popular formats. Photoshop and Fireworks are amongst the ones many pros use, but they cost! You'll often hear that something has been Photoshopped - meaning messed with. On Linux you'll get what you want for free. <fanfare> A really user-friendly Linux is Ubuntu.

Thanks mate, will try something later

Hi,

On Sunday (6 Dec 09) i shot a few pictures of Gallagher Park using a camera that was set to shot the pictures at 11 MegaPixels but when i tried to upload them to the Gallery on this site it says they are to large, anyone know how i can make the size a bit smaller? The help would be handy and next time it will shot at about 5 MegaPixels!

Thanks

Note:When i say making the pictures smaller i dont mean cropping them i mean making the size of the picture smaller.
