Don't you want to live forever? Even on the internet?

[joflasher]

This is the last day to become a beta tester over at Fantastic Portfolios. Its also the last chance in the foreseeable future to purchase an Eternal Membership.

FP a judged gallery put together by the creator of Ellen Million Graphics & Portrait Adoption and her band of loyal minions. It is everything you'd expect from that particular instigator. Well designed, well staffed, and above all, pretty.

We've been flushing the bugs out of the place throughout the summer and we THINK we've got a system that will allow us to offer useful critiques to artists and still get images through quickly. Nothing like having images bogged down in waiting queues for weeks on end to make you love a gallery, you know.

Ellen, as always, has put together a good business plan complete with competent programmers and judges, and we hope the place will become a nice staple of the internet fantasy art scene.

For that to happen, we're going to need more artists and more art and the sooner the better. We won't know how our system holds up to load issues until we get an actual load on there.

So come on, you know you want to slip in under the wire as a beta tester.

All the cool kids are doing it.

We go live on the 1st.

Edit - figures, the day I decide to advertise is the day the layout would act wonky. I hadn't noticed Murphy signing up for an account but he's well and truly an active member.

Hm - I'm interested, and managed to make an account, but the site is seriously broken on both Safari and Firefox (Mac OS 10.4.10). The upload page is unreadable on Firefox, and I can't even log in on Safari.

(I'd look for an actual support link on the web page, except, well, I'm having sufficient trouble making the site work that I can't figure out how - and I figure you might at least know who to point this to.:)

Weird. I use Firefox for Windoze and, outside of the initial homepage having some table problems( already reported), it works fine. I wonder if no one has hit this place with a Mac yet...

You can head over to http://fantasticportfolios.com/salon/ (standard forum interface, so it should be good) and list your problem in the Beta area. Or I can do it, either way. I'll need a bit more detail than just "seriously broken" to help them work it out, though.

I started a thread in the beta forum about this. Hop in anytime.

[jnanacandra.livejournal.com]

Forum accounts appear to be separate from the main site registration, so I have to wait until that processes. I'll check back later tonight or tomorrow :)

Thanks for the help, Shimmer.

I also tried to upload myself and also got garbly gook on the upload page. Me thinks Janet, our layout manager, must have broken it in the last release. Bad timing, Janet.

This made me blush like mad, as well as curse Murphy at the top of my lungs... :P
