Thou may proceed.


I see a bunch of that uploader's things are the same, @Exedor is there something that can be done on 20 year old stuff like this? or @TomFulp I guess

It was just an image. Occasionally users would blank their own accounts by replacing working submissions with images. I know of one guy who replaced everything with the words "delete my account" on a white background since he didn't know how to request a delete of his account. That may be what happened here. Couldn't get those scores with a nonworking game or a static image, so must've had something there at one point that's been changed to non-working image. Age doesn't matter; anything can be flagged if it needs attention. These are no more.

Coming along great! I found two old unpublished entries that hadn't been cleared out of the results so I got those sorted now.

When you say 2 old unpublished entries, does that mean that they were two that were missed? Or what exactly does that mean

There were two entries with missing thumbnails that turned up in my results when I did a date search, however they were unpublished entries that for some reason hadn't been cleared from the Elastics system.

other than the one above, all the other thumbnails are "ok enough"


I looked over the dates, why are you pulling things from august 10, aug 20, july 10, july 11, 2000

why not move onto flash items from 2003, or 2004 where you can find flash animations that don't even have a thumbnail yet


items that don't have a thumbnail are the top priority, going back and sifting through items that already have a thumbnail and then updating those are secondary

To have new thumbnails made? Yeah, but generally if you want to take a kick at doing a thumb yourself this is more the place for it.

yes?


this thread is mostly used for people to go out and watch or play a game, see the outdated or non-existent thumbnail, screenshot a "faithful to the creator's creation" 1920x1080 pixel sized picture, and then upload the picture to your "dump" folder and then post a link to the movie or game that you want to have changed and a link to your dump folder file that has the screen-shotted picture


if you are not a supporter to Newgrounds then Tom can upgrade your account and you can help out, that will give you access to the Newgrounds dump folder


I can help you further if you would like more of an explanation on the how's, why's, where's, and so on if you need

you are already a supporter, so you have access to the dump file section of the website

now its just kinda up to you to find movies and games and then create the "faithful to the creator's creation" screenshots, and then post links to the movie or game, and your uploaded dump file screenshot

@BIink

@Madmazel


  1. the primary size of a "good" screenshot for a thumbnail is 1920x1080 pixels in size
  2. suggest and upload your screenshot of any movie or game you want, we have been focusing on older items first and especially things that don't have a thumbnail
  3. I'm usually kicking around in the evenings so you can get a pretty fast response to this thread if you post a question or suggestion

Thanks! It's best to capture thumbnails in fullscreen mode when possible, these thumbnails are below the minimum size we go for. This game in particular is a bit tricky to get decent thumbnails for but I made some at a larger size while in fullscreen mode.
