Where Do You EggXpert?

wyldstallyn — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 17:22:46 GMT

Where do you EggXpert?
Show us and you could win a Plantronics headset!

Six Plantronics Gaming Headsets are Up For Grabs!

We've got six (6) sets of premium-quality gaming headsets to give away today EggXperts. We figured the best way to give 'em away would be to have our loyal posters show us exactly where they would be using them!

Entering to win a headset is simple -- just snap a photo of your workstation, study, gaming lair, garage or whatever location you usually log on to EggXpert from. We're encouraging EggXperts to pose in the photo personally, but it's not required.
Upload the photo to the internets, post it on this thread, and you're in! (See below for a step-by-step guide.)

Keep in mind that this is a family-oriented website, so please follow these photo-taking guidelines to make sure your entry is legitimate:

No nudity, whether it be posters, desktop images, or you. Especially if it's you.
No violent, obscene, pornographic, racist, sexist, or otherwise disturbing material.
Please remove or cover up any visible personal information such as e-mail addresses, phone numbers, home addresses, etc.
No drugs, images of drugs or drug use, or drug paraphernalia.
Photos will be reviewed regularly by EggXpert Staff, and it is at our sole descretion to determine if a photo is appropriate. Only users whose images have been approved by EggXpert Staff will be entered into the drawing for the Plantronics Headsets.

Posting Your Photo
Here's a tutorial for posting a photo here on EggXpert.

We used snapfish for the photo hosting in this example, but any free service will do, such as photobucket, shutterfly, imageshack, etc.

Step 1. Upload your photo to your photo-hosting website.

Step 2. Confirm the upload, and edit the pic if that's an option.
If you can resize, shoot for a 600-pixel width so the photo will fit on the EggXpert forum.

Step 3. View the photo and get a link to its location. Some sites display
the link for you, but if it's not there just right-click and "Copy Image Location" (FireFox).
IE users, right-click the photo, go to "properties", and copy it from "Address (URL)".

Step 4. Go to EggXpert, and go to this thread. Already here? Great!
Hit the "reply" button, and click the little tree icon to insert/edit an image.
Paste your photo's URL into the "Image URL" box.

Step 5. If you didn't re-size your photo, and it's clipping the page after you post it,
try editing the dimensions. 600 pixel width is good... remember, if you shrink the
width, shrink the height by the same % or your pic will get squished!

Step 6. Check out your photo on EggXpert!
And cross your fingers that you win a headset...

No permissions to perform action?

Eggxpert — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 19:10:33 GMT

FYI,

When you are not logged in and you try to enter a forum, you might get a sign that says:

You do not have permissions to perform the requested action.

This happens because you MUST login/register to view the contents of that forum.

If you are already logged in, these forums will show a lock on them. However, they are not locked. They show a lock because they are not viewable by all people.

Ask to become a Selectee

sj1dog — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 17:06:47 GMT

Members with over 30 posts can "OPT IN" or request to become a "Selectee" by contacting wyldstallyn via PM. If you are the type of person that thinks there should not be any religion discussed in EggXpert, you wont see it. If you make a request to become a selectee, you will be able to read and post in the Debate Forum. In this forum, please try to keep your complaining to a minimum and help us out by maintaining our rules.

We are still considering all those great ideas you guys gave about agreeing to a contract type of setting but that would take weeks to get done, so consider this a quick solution.

The General rule states:

Please Don't:

• Get into Religion/Politics or contraversial topics unless you are a "Selectee". Anyone with over 30 posts can request to be added to this group. Once part of this group, you will be able to see a Debate forum that nobody else can see. In this forum, it is ok to post religion/politics.
