I can just picture Scott looking despondent, slouched over holding a picket sign that reads "Wiki"

Scott strikes back ! Take that, Chance !  ;D

A suggestion for Scott : Would it be possible to make the thumbnails on the "Builds by year" frontpage bigger ? My desktop resolution is 1920x1200, looking at those thumbnails I'm barely able to make out that it is a pic of a cab, but I don't get the details at first glance. That is part of why I suggested the sticky.

How does it look now? (feedback wanted from individuals with high-res monitors, low-res monitors, and surfing via phone  ;D)

Changed the thumbnails on the "Builds by year" page from 68 to 128 pixels wide. (left a 68 pixel Pac-Mamea after the 128 pixel version here so people can compare the new to the original size)

Once this page grows to the size of the Upright Cabs page, will the larger photos cause omplaints on how long it takes to scroll through the list?

Hopefully we can find a good balance between showing enough details and ease of scrolling.

1920x1200 resolution : MUCH better.

Hey Scott,

If you trust me, why don't you hook me up with some sweet, sweet wiki access. I know what I am doing enough to maybe knock a few of these projects out on the list, and upload my own shared projects as well. I can keep sizes consistent. I can't guarantee I can get to anything right away, but I'll do what I can.

Always glad to have help on the wiki.   ;D

I'm pretty sure Felsir was the one that created an account for you.

Saw that when looking for Vigo's account creation info.  :duckhunt

I hope you changed it by now.

If not . . . well, you know what to do.   >:D

Probably in"other" right now.

http://newwiki.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?title=Other_arcade_projects

If we can find a few entries, I bet PL1 would make a section. I'll have your build up in a bit, man.  :cheers:
Having a Pedestal examples section sounds good.   ;D

If we can also add your Mario, spkywlnt73's Castlevania, and severdhed's / PBJ's Turtles builds we'd have a pretty good variety.


Scott
EDIT: Pedestal category added and examples menus updated.

+1 This is not Order Your Own Arcade Controls. If that build makes it to the wiki for there needs to be a big asterisk.

I don't know where this hobby would be without Kaneda... We need more trailblazers like him around.
