[I.M.O.G.]

Good start, thanks!

[I.M.O.G.]

How's that opinion piece coming E_D? Looking for stuff to get us thru the week.

[EarthDog]

No go at this moment. I just spent the last 4 days moving into our new house and just got up real internet access two days or so ago.

[I.M.O.G.]

I just moved this past month also so I know how it goes. Thanks for the update.

[EarthDog]

I updated it and put a due date on it. This morning I felt like I got hit by a train, stood back up and got drilled again, so here is to hoping Im not down and out tomorrow. I will keep you posted.

[I.M.O.G.]

At least you only felt like you were hit by a train, this guy had a much worse day:

[Brolloks]

I have a couple of reviews under the mobo section, not sure if it is good enough...I can add some text etc if it would help, lmk

[I.M.O.G.]

Your reviews as is should be fine - we need more lighter content as well as the heavy duty review stuff. Every article does not need to be a blockbuster, so long as it reflects interesting things going on in our community.

Anything you want to submit should be dropped into the article template available here, following the guidelines in the template:
http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=619977

Send what you got to Earthdog, we'll take care of proofreading/editting, then we'll get your final OK before Joe posts it on overclockers.com.

[Brolloks]

Sounds good...I have a lot of stuff and even more ideas :)

[EarthDog]

The P55 vs X58 SLI content is front page worthy. ;)

Good stuff Brolloks, looking forward to it!

[EarthDog]

Updated. :)

[I.M.O.G.]

Wow, looking good. :)

[EarthDog]

Update...

[I.M.O.G.]

As far as content is concerned, next week is looking great. We might even be getting ahead into the week after that if we keep this up! Thanks!

[EarthDog]

The article Im writing, I should be able to tackle this weekend.

I have MIA's review in .doc format and completed a once over for spelling. I have a question though. These are not in a standard writing format per say. Are you looking for us/proofreaders to change words like 'gonna' to going to and set things up like that or is some deviation from that acceptable? Things like "..." as pauses are acceptable as well?

[I.M.O.G.]

We aren't being super picky right now - a style guide was being worked on by mdcomp and some people, but I'm not sure what progress has been made on that.

So to answer your question, we are doing what we can to make sure the articles read well right now. If they have a casual tone that reflects the authors personality, thats ok.

If development of a style guide is completed, we'll be looking to ensure style decisions like you asked about are made consistently. Without a documented guide tho, we don't have a strict policy.

[EarthDog]

Updated...

How is MIA's article coming along?

[I.M.O.G.]

Forwarded Mia's article to mdcomp to review, he may have an update. At first glance, I don't see that he's sent it back yet.

[I.M.O.G.]

Mia's article is ready, and waiting on Joe. We've got over a weeks worth of content in queue, so I'm not sure when he'll put things up - maybe we'll do 2 articles a day for some of the lighter stuff, like the couple articles I wrote.

[EarthDog]

Ok, my opinion article needs a quick edit and then its on to you today!

Per Brollocks PM... he will not be providing that content as listed. EDITED 1st post.

[I.M.O.G.]

Ya, personal stuff came up - we'll have to follow up with him in a few months, he's definitely interested in contributing.

Thanks for the update!

[EarthDog]

Updated.

Sent S775 opinion article to you IMOG!

[I.M.O.G.]

Didn't need to do a thing, other than include the profile link. Great piece, thanks! It's been submitted to Joe for publishing - we have a backlog of articles currently, so you should see it within a week or two. Gonna talk to Joe about running articles thru the weekend and/or posting more than one a day until we catch up at least.

[EarthDog]

Short and sweet. Im hoping the thread associated with this will prompt some discussion once she is up... :)

Updating also.

[sno.lcn]

I'm reviewing an MSI P55-GD80 right now, I'll send it to you when I finish. Probably around the end of the week.

[EarthDog]

Excellent..! Thanks!

Updated (again!).

[EarthDog]

No go with SuperShanks... his reviews go somewhere else already!

[I.M.O.G.]

If he'd be interested in also posting them on overclockers.com, that'd be ok too. We don't limit ourselves to only exclusive content. If he's not interested tho, no problem.

[EarthDog]

I will double check with him and find out.

[EarthDog]

No go..... :(

Updated.

[I.M.O.G.]

No problem, thanks for the update!

[EarthDog]

Quick update on due dates and another potential article...

[I.M.O.G.]

Great updates, thank you!

[EarthDog]

Updated... sent Asus RIIE article to you.

MIA said no go on that as a front page article...REMOVED.

PM'd Sno.lcn for an update on his article...

[I.M.O.G.]

Bummer, did Mia state a reason?

[EarthDog]

'Busy, and Anand article covers it'

[I.M.O.G.]

Cool, thx - just looking for feedback, in case it was anything we could do different.

[EarthDog]

Quick update. I have Sno.lcn's article but its on rapidshare and I cannot get it at work as they block those sites. I will get it to you this evening after I have a chance to give her a once over.

[I.M.O.G.]

The socket 775 piece is up - could you update the first post and start the frontpage discussion thread?

Miahallen's piece will be on the frontpage tomorrow, and its already available here:
http://overclockers.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4561:review-and-overclocking-results-of-the-gigabyte-ga-p55-ud3r-motherboard&catid=56:motherboards&Itemid=4262

You can get that in the first post as well, along with starting the frontpage discussion thread, whenever you have time. Miahallen's piece really looks great with all the pictures included - great stuff!

Thanks!

[EarthDog]

It really does!

Updating/Posting...

For the Frontpage thread I need to start for the P55 review thread, should I link to the Front page or to the Motherboard section where its currently at?
(I will put this up tomorrow).

[I.M.O.G.]

Link directly to the article, with the link I posted above - it will be put on the frontpage tomorrow.

Thanks man.

[EarthDog]

Updated.

Been slacking on getting Sno.lcn's article to you...I will get it together by tomorrow night at the latest, soooo sorry about that Sno and IMOG (note that was not sarcastic :)).

I also PM'd Alien432 regarding an article on the best motherboard choices amogst X58 boards, say for entry level, entusiast, and extreme overclocker (think DI/LN2/LHe)...

[EarthDog]

Sno.lcn's article submitted...!!

No reply yet from Alien.

[sno.lcn]

My ECS rep emailed me a press release on some new motherboard features. I posted in the General Motherboard section. http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=623746

If you want I can add some comments and format it for the front page.

[I.M.O.G.]

Got sno's article submitted, thx! Good read!

[EarthDog]

Got sno's article submitted, thx! Good read!IMOG, your thoughts on the below post... is this possible to add in???

[I.M.O.G.]

I'm not so sure what we could say about it - gimmicky. I could see mentioning it within another article, but hard to see it as an article on its own.

[sno.lcn]

I'll ask for a board to review then :)


*Edit: I just sent an email asking for a review sample, hopefully I'll get a response soon.

[I.M.O.G.]

Heh, then we'd have something to talk about. :)

[EarthDog]

Updated.

Alien confirmed he will be kind enough to write the article!

I will get the Frontpage for Sno's ASAP...(wrapping things up at work, and simply forgot throughout the day, sorry).

EDIT: Another article by Sno.lcn expected!!! :)

EDIT2: Heh, SUBMITTED, not published...heh....I'll do the frontpage when the article is actually up there!!! :bang head :santa:

[EarthDog]

Submitted Sno.lcn's 2nd article yesterday.

[I.M.O.G.]

Got it, thx for the update!

[I.M.O.G.]

What's up with LOTES sockets and all that? I haven't followed it exactly, but I've seen a lot of discussion. Think we could find someone to write an article about whats going on?

Example:
http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=624489

[EarthDog]

I PM'd MIA to write something up on it and he was busy and referred me to the Anand article. I will have to put something together myself and bounce the article off the experts. According to most the experts, and Anand, its a non issue except for Foxconn sockets and extreme voltage/cooling/overclocking.

I will put something together within the next couple of days..

[sno.lcn]

The Anandtech article is causing un-needed mass paranoia. There is no reason to avoid the Foxconn socket. The socket burning issues are in cases of people pushing 5ghz+ (how much % of the overclocking community does this?), and even then, it's not very wide spread. I know of far more people that haven't had any issues than those that have.

I'd rather not do a writeup on this (I'm already swamped), but I'll be more than happy to share any opinions I have on the matter.

[EarthDog]

Agreed. I will take care of the write up using several of you guru's as fact checkers on this. Remember though, the anand article does in fact say its only the extreme overclockers (LN2+) that are experiencing these issues. However it doesnt quantify the rate its occurring within that group either.

Most people should know you will see more bad news items than good news items on the webzzzzz and I havent seen much of this so that in itself tells me something.

[EarthDog]

Socket 1156 problem article in Final draft form. Submission time is expected tomorrow. FYI this will be a 2 Part article as there really isnt a lot of factual information to go off of at this point in time.

UPDATED.

[I.M.O.G.]

Thanks for the update. I think this is a perfect sort of article to be a 2 parter, will be interesting to see how it develops and what people figure out.

[EarthDog]

Sent Socket 1156 'burning' article.

[sno.lcn]

I have another motherboard on the way for review, MSI Big Bang Trinergy. I'm super excited, it's going to be a blast :)

http://event.msi.com/mb/bigbang/main.html#/?page=trinergy

I'll keep you updated, it should be available some time this week.

[EarthDog]

Excellent. Thanks! Updated!

[I.M.O.G.]

Thanks for update! :salute:

[sno.lcn]

The Big Bang Trinergy has arrived, I'll start reviewing it immediately. I'm shooting for the middle of next week for completion as long as I have enough free time.

[EarthDog]

Ok. Sno.lcn completed the Front Page Discussion thread portion for his two articles already... I will update the first post.

Nothing new coming down the pike at this time. Just waiting for a couple things to get published and one item to get reviewed and submitted by Wednesday.

[I.M.O.G.]

rampage is awaiting publishing.

Burning article is in editting process still, due to slowness on my part. I'll get that progressed.

[I.M.O.G.]

Earthdog - Sno.lcn is going to be moving to focussing on just Extreme Cooling and Benchmarking Team stuff. That said, he'll still likely be pushing some content your way in the CPU and motherboard areas. Just wanted to give you a heads up, since this leaves you as THE goto guy for Intel CPUs/Mobo's.

Here are the experts he had listed for these sections:
Maxi
Ross
Gautam
Brolloks

These are the articles he has recorded as published, you can add this to your published list:
Core i7 Head-to-Head: 1156 vs. 1366 (http://overclockers.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4541:core-i7-head-to-head-1156-vs-1366&catid=57:processors&Itemid=4263)- Ross

[EarthDog]

Noted and updating...

[I.M.O.G.]

With the job you've been doing, I had no reservations about repurposing Jeremy. Thanks for your help.

[EarthDog]

I see Nazneb's article got posted and Sno.lcn took care of the Frontpage thread...!

(Hey, get on over in your own section now Sno!!!!! The 'Hoff has it covered!!! :p :cool: :thup: ((seriously, thank you!)) )

[I.M.O.G.]

LOL, the Hoff removed my sig edit!

BTW, sno.lcn is taking care of all the frontpage discussion threads now. Since he started doing it, they've been posted every single morning which is a consistency we couldn't make happen previously!

[EarthDog]

Fine by me! :)

Yeah it was throwing off the Feung Shui that is my sig... :) ;)

[sno.lcn]

I'm writing up the Trinergy review as we speak, and I decided to do some last minute testing with dry ice to see what kind of bench scores I can get from this baby. I should have everything completed by tomorrow :)

[EarthDog]

Im getting tired of telling you......






U DA MAN! :clap: :cool:

Thanks for the update Sno. Let me know if I can help in anyway with the load you have taken on... ;)

[I.M.O.G.]

Your overclockers.com Editor account has been created. Let me know if you have any trouble logging in, or any questions. A guide explaining how the workflow will work is forthcoming - trying to get everyone handling all content within wordpress as soon as possible.

[EarthDog]

Sounds good. I just got back from Ctown a bit ago and received Matt's email about it. I will check it out tomorrow!

[I.M.O.G.]

I'm that Matt who you got the email from. Maybe you knew, but wanted to clarify. Let me know if you have any questions once you get logged in. I'll be trying to write some instructions tomorrow.

[EarthDog]

I received emails from both of you, but did make the mistake as I didnt check the sig's/TO on my Bberry...

Im looking over the Socket 1156 burning article today. :)

[sno.lcn]

Received a P55A-UD6 from Gigabyte on Saturday, I'll try and get started testing it tonight. Miah is reviewing the same board so getting our different takes on it will be fun :)

[EarthDog]

W00t! Thanks again Sno!

1156 article has been touched up with Matt (Mdcomp's) suggestions and should be ready to rock and roll.

I will put the pics into WP tonight for Sno's other review and schedule a review by the editors as well.

[MIAHALLEN]

QFT...my review will be a double feature with the UD6 as well as the new UD3R...But mine won't be finished until next week :)

[I.M.O.G.]

Hey bud, Hokie is going to take over this section for me, and will be the one checking in with you in the future.

[EarthDog]

Ok!! :)

BTW updated...Hokie!

[hokiealumnus]

Thank you sir.


Aaaand....subscribed. :)

[EarthDog]

Hokie... Please check out the rough format of the X58 mobo article. I added newegg links to the boards, but Im thinking I should also insert pictures for each. I will likely have to get them through newegg so credit would have to go to them. I could set that up in the pictures though.

The spacing on WP though is perplexing at best. I see a space in the editor, then the preview doesnt show the space (between entry level boards and prior paragraph and last paragraph as well). I havent even put the pictures in yet so this could get ugly quick again.

[I.M.O.G.]

You'll likely need to use HTML to get the spacing right. I think it ignores white space in the wysiwyg.

The <br> or <p> tags should get you what you want I think. If not, splat likely has advice for you also.

[EarthDog]

It ignores *some* white space(s) it seems... In the other article I created, it spaced just fine even when there were no spaces initially. Same in this article. Thats the perplexing part to me.

I will read up on how to properly use that code. I do not know HTML at all really.

[I.M.O.G.]

This makes it simple, or really it makes anything about using html simple:
http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_br.asp

[EarthDog]

Simple enough...! :)

[EarthDog]

Actually, I added them in the right spot and it didnt work.

trying the <p>

EDIT: That worked.

[hokiealumnus]

What would you think about putting them in bulletted lists? Less free space with enough of a separator to make it easier to read.

[EarthDog]

I just seperated it out by making a bold header,

ENTRY

sdfsdaf
dsfasdf
adfdsf


GAMER

sdfsdf
sdfsdfs
sdfsdf


ENTHUSIAST

sdfgdfsg
dsfgsdfg
dsfgdfg



...But can do that as well. I want to get the pictures in there and see how both styles look though. I like both ideas... Maybe bullet them and add all pictures below it with captions for clarity would be best?

[hokiealumnus]

Sounds good. This was my intent:

Entry

Board 1
Board 2
Board 3

Gamer

Enthusiast

Board 3

Anyway, just an idea. Your article, feel free how to format as you wish. We're happy to help if something needs editing. Same with the images.

Captions with images may be clearer, you're right. In the caption, add the source as well. Like this - (Source: Newegg.com) and link Newegg.com to the original image (not just the newegg home page).

[I.M.O.G.]

I like hokie's example better. Clean, and easy to read.

[EarthDog]

I sincerely appreciate the input. Dont ever be afriad to throw something out at me guys! (I sure dont hesitate to ask questions!!!)

I will get right on that.. :)

[hokiealumnus]

I like the picture idea. Just make sure it doesn't make the page too wide. If it does, perhaps two pictures side-by-side with a third centered under them. Like this without dashes:

Photo - Photo
-----Photo-----

[EarthDog]

Thats how I was planning on it being done.. But that is a feat in itself with WP. I tried that and have to L justify one, R justify the other and then it looks all gap toothed. Centering doesnt do it either. Teach me oh wise one!

Also I edited and saved with bullets and the bullets dont show in the preview...

Off to lunch.

[I.M.O.G.]

There is an example I will link you to.

This is how it's done with the first 3 product shots in the article linked below:

<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.overclockers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Picture-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5750" src="http://www.overclockers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Picture-1-300x224.jpg" alt="Lightning Box Front" width="300" height="224" /> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5751" src="http://www.overclockers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Picture-2-300x224.jpg" alt="Lightning Box Back" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.overclockers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Picture-3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5752" src="http://www.overclockers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Picture-3-300x224.jpg" alt="Lightning Accessories" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>

http://www.overclockers.com/msi-gtx-275-lightning-review/

[EarthDog]

So it cant be done non HTML (guess I better learn it, ehh?)?

Thanks for the example!

[I.M.O.G.]

It looks like sno composed his article originally in a web editor, like frontpage or a similar adobe product which probably wrote the html and style for him and is more complex/easier than the wordpress wysiwyg editor.

The "style=" is inline styling, applied to the html elements. Inline styling should generally be avoided, but is good to use for this sort of stuff.

Proper usage of these parts are the most important pieces of getting the layout right:
"<p style="text-align: center">" - This is applied to all 3 images, and gets the entire group of images centered together
"<img class="alignnone" - This is applied to the first 2 images, and gets them to sit nicely side by side
"<img class="aligncenter" - This is applied to the 3rd image, and gets it centered nicely below the 2 above

[sno.lcn]

I just copied and pasted from Word into wordpress and attached/inserted the images.

I didn't use any code for formatting either, just the buttons provided by WP.

[I.M.O.G.]

Wow cool, I stand corrected. You did a good job with it.

I had a ton of headaches with getting Miah's USB3.0 images to play nice. I actually learned a couple things looking at the code on your msi piece.

[sno.lcn]

I had the same problems as you, trust me. You don't want to know how long I spent getting everything right :bang head

[I.M.O.G.]

Ya, the align right and align left things were frustrating for me at first, because it was unintuitive to me the way it worked. I think earthdog thought the same thing the way he was trying to use them - then I started using align-none and stuff started to cooperate.

[EarthDog]

Yes, indeed. B/c on his other one, it was from Word and I inserted the pics I had issues getting them to do exactly that.

What did you do in WP to get two pics centered across the middle? no align, highlight both and center?

I had the same problems as you, trust me. You don't want to know how long I spent getting everything right :bang head

Ya, the align right and align left things were frustrating for me at first, because it was unintuitive to me the way it worked. I think earthdog thought the same thing the way he was trying to use them - then I started using align-none and stuff started to cooperate.Oh thank god it wasnt just me... :chair: :)

Seriously though I had a couple hours into it. This one Im going to start now...keep your fingers crossed!

[EarthDog]

Lovely, one picture shows a caption, I add it in the others, it doesnt work. Formatting all jacked up. Sizes. Yikes. Nobody kept their fingers crossed for me did they? :)

WAS my sig ninja chopped? I thought I linked that i7 thread internally to a post here (which was then an external link..?)

[I.M.O.G.]

It was linked directly external, so was whacked by me. I figured you couldn't hate me for not mentioning it.

We'll have a guide soon which helps ease the issues your seeing - sorry, formatting can be a pain, but it doesn't need to be. Better instructions will help this.

[EarthDog]

My bad on the link.. is that ok to do it internal to a post here which has an external link?

(now I have to recall who mentioned that link.....

[I.M.O.G.]

Yes.

[EarthDog]

I am looking for suggestions on how to get the formatting correct on these pictures. I create the picture with a caption medium sized so it will fit 2 centered. It dumps it at the TOP of the article/post. NOT where I clicked to have it. I move the picture down where it needs to be since it didnt initially place it where I wanted/clicked. It moves just fine. However the caption stays up top. If I move the caption down, it becomes just text and doesnt show the caption in preview mode either. If I attempt to re add the caption, its doesnt work at all.

Please tell me those instructions are coming sooner than later! I have worked on this stuff for many hours and cant get it right so far. Any advice anyone will have now would be greatly appreciated so I can help pump this article out.

[I.M.O.G.]

Hope this helps...

First step, if your using IE, stop. Also, click on preview, do not do an open in new tab or window on the preview button or it won't show you the right preview.

Second step, if your text cursor is placed where you want the image, clicking the insert image link should insert the image there.

Third step, add all pictures align center, and do not include pictures side by side. Look at sno.lcn's insulation guide for an example of this.

Fourth step, insert caption when you insert the picture, or insert it in the regular flow of the text, like I did with sno.lcn's article formatting.

Fifth step, let me know if this helps at all.

Finally, we just got the lightbox plugin yesterday - you can see how it works on sno's article. Now that we have it, we'll be looking closer at how we want to handle images long term. For now, the instructions above are the answer because they are simple and they have been tested to work.

1. I have no choice but to use IE at the office which is where the overwhelming majority of my time at this site happens. Thats how I use preview. I click on the preview button and another tab pops up with the preview (IE7). I will have to change that as it open a new tab by default. How would I change this??? IE options?

2. It does most of time. However sometimes it does not. When a picture is already in the gallery for example, I would click on the location I want the picture, go into add picture, gallery, and it adds up top. IE issue?

3. Align center will not allow me to place the pictures next to each other as requested and described above by Hokie. Would you like them aligned that way now???

4. Thats where I do it on the initial picture add. Initially, it works. When moving a picture, the caption doesnt move with it, nor does it manage to 'reattach' when you move the caption to the picture or in the area of the picture. it then shows up as text. It appears it has to be right the first time.

5. I will check Sno's article and see. Thats sort of a help as I already do most of what you have mentioned. Thing is, I dont have hours at home to do this stuff. I wont get on my PC until around 9PM when my family goes to sleep.

Currently I have all the pictures in place physically w/o captions as hokie suggested and you preferred. I will realign center and add captions after I hear back from you...

EDIT: Also, the bullets are still not showing up in the preview, but are there in the edit.

[I.M.O.G.]

1. Ugh

2. IE issue, haven't seen this on firefox

3. Go with align center, it should be easier to get right - we're trying to improve our image standards so it doesn't keep griefing authors/CEs

4. This appears to be a wordpress weirdness, haven't seen this happen first hand tho. If it wasn't for #1 above, you'd likely be in better shape

5. Cool

Currently I have all the pictures in place physically w/o captions as hokie suggested and you preferred. I will realign center and add captions after I hear back from you...

If you've got it right now, leave it as it is. If it's still messed up, do it the way I just described if it makes it easier.

For the rest of the details, if there's anything else you can't get right, just leave it to us to put the finishing polish on. You've done more than your fair share working on this one, and I appreciate it.

[EarthDog]

Its only the pictures/captions that are giving me grief ATM. :)

I have it right as in their physical location, however I do not have the captions in there as that screws up the formatting as requested. It almost appears like the pictures need to be properly sized first, with captions in mind, before adding them. Its not a very flexible editor in that respect. Im going to save this, move it forward and let you guys spit shine it... :)

[sno.lcn]

I'm trying to get my P55A-UD6 review finished by tonight. Then I've gotta review an AMD board :eek:

[EarthDog]

Excellent. Thanks for that update...

UPDATED the first page.

Sheesh, I realized I have nothing coming down the 'pike....uh oh! :)

[MIAHALLEN]

EarthDog...I should have my new P55 comparo ready for editing within the next 6 hours or so :)

[MIAHALLEN]

Alrighty, I just finished the draft, it's now ready for editing and publishing :)

[EarthDog]

excellent! i will be back in town tomorrow and can put my eyes on it then!

[MIAHALLEN]

Thanks man, I've been mulling it over in my mind since yesterday, and added a couple extra thoughts, and the chart at the bottom, so I'm glad you didn't get to it right away :beer: I'm happier with it now :D

[hokiealumnus]

Thanks for your hard work miah!

[sno.lcn]

I have the P55A-UD6 review pretty much ready. Just a few max oc testings to do and I'll get it into wordpress. I already made the usual thread in the intel mobo section too.

[EarthDog]

MIA, I am giving it a look now. Thank you again!

Ok, Great Sno!

EDIT: Well, I cant touch it where its at now.. but per usual, it looks great! Great review and results. :thup:

[MIAHALLEN]

HAH, beat you to is Jeremy :p

[sno.lcn]

Haha nice job Miah :D

[MIAHALLEN]

Earthdog, do you know my status...is somebody working on that P55A comparison?

[EarthDog]

Sno is working on his, and yours is done and up I believe. Have I missed something?

[hokiealumnus]

Miah, are you talking about the SuperSpeed USB at the Limit - Part 2 (http://www.overclockers.com/gigabyte-p55a-series-motherboards-part-2-superspeed-usb-pushed-limit/) article? It's up. Quite the comprehensive work. Nicely done!

EDIT - Nope, I see the comparison. Will get to editing it today. Thanks.

[MIAHALLEN]

Thanks Hokie :beer:

[EarthDog]

What did I miss guys?

[hokiealumnus]

Nothing. Miah's article comparing 2x Giga boards and an MSI board was in Pending Review.

[EarthDog]

I had no idea that article even existed. Never looked at it.

EDIT: Forget it. I was thinking of something else. He PM'd me(us) on 12/13 or so I believe and I looked it over. There wasnt anything really I needed to do to that article!!! :)

[hokiealumnus]

Well, it was in good shape to start with, so that's good.

Authors - Please don't move items to Pending Review after completion. Once done, please save it as a draft, then PM, email or otherwise contact your Content Editor to let them know it's ready for review.

Sorry about that EarthDog.

EDIT - Clarified in the workflow post here (http://overclockers.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6335449&postcount=4).

[MIAHALLEN]

So when will it be posted, it's been ready over 6 days now :shrug:

[hokiealumnus]

Err...it was posted shortly after that, of course; but you already know that. Sorry, missed that question.

Any updates EarthDog?

[MIAHALLEN]

Thanks Hokie...it was posted on the 23rd :)

[EarthDog]

How funny was this, went to go find this thread, hit refresh and there is a BUMP!

Updated!

[hokiealumnus]

Thanks for the update!

[EarthDog]

When is the 800d article going to go public? My emails said Friday (today)...can I help expedite that process at all? I have some time on my hands this weekend if no one else can get to it! NOTE AFAIK, i cannot save it in its current state, I have to keep hitting the SUBMIT for REVIEW button (corrected something today).

Anyway, I updated the first post as well. Looks like Hey Zeus will be giving us some insight on Clarksdale!!!

[I.M.O.G.]

Mdcomp was working on today's article and I was talking to him today on IM. I think I never got around to reinserting the images you reuploaded so that they used the proper format, lightbox, captions, etc. Busy day for both of us, but I think he found something that was definitely ready which will be published for the weekend.

So we might be looking at Monday for yours now. :thup:

[EarthDog]

W00t W00t! Thanks for the update!

[sno.lcn]

Sorry for taking my sweet ass time with this. P55A-UD6 article will be ready in the next 20 minutes :)

*Edit: Finished I think :thup:

[I.M.O.G.]

sweet, thats clutch - we're running kinda tight on articles pending review thru this week!

[EarthDog]

Excellent.. I will get on that in a but to help keep her moving down the pike!

[hokiealumnus]

Great news, thanks guys!

[EarthDog]

Moved Sno's mobo review for REVIEW!!!

Not much to change with that article at all! Great work man!!!!

[MIAHALLEN]

Hey Earthdog, I'm going to work on a basic i3/i5/i7 OCing how-to guide today. Should be ready in a few hours. :beer:

[EarthDog]

Noted. And thanks! UPdated!

[MIAHALLEN]

It's ready :beer: And MUCH longer than I planned for :p

[EarthDog]

I will give it a look when I crack up for the day!!!

[EarthDog]

Why is it "Pending Review"? Did someone look at it already and move it forward? I will still give it a once over now though.

[MIAHALLEN]

I know I.M.O.G. gave it a read, and said he was going to have a couple of out proofreaders give it a look, but I don't know why the status has changed already... :shrug:

[mdcomp]

Not sure what the situation is...? I'm a little confused myself.

Gary, after you do your thing to it, let me know and I'll review it. I won't publish or do my review until I hear from you, so don't worry about it getting posted before it's ready. I'm on top of it.
:)

Matt

[EarthDog]

I just thought CE's moved it to pending review...when I got to it, it was already there. Apparently Im not to keen on the process but was going off this post: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6335448&postcount=133

I guess someone else got to her first and moved it. Aint no thang really. I was just shocked that it was caught and moved within 3 hours! :)

[EarthDog]

Updated.

I have talked to windwithme and he gave his permission to post the his reviews on the front page. For the time being. I will be responsible for moving them into WordPress and he will send the pictures to me in a zip file so I can upload them. He posts these reviews all over the web at many places so I didnt want him to have to do another step to post it here...I hope thats OK. Im just excited that he gave permission to move the ones he posted here to the Front Page!!!! W00t!

[I.M.O.G.]

Nice find! That's why we have you - I hadn't seen his work before. Good job. :D

[EarthDog]

I cannot take all the credit on this. Mattno5ss sent me a PM about it first. I had thought I already talked to the guy and was rejected, but as you can see, that wasnt the case. So thank the Mattno5ss really. :)

He (windwithme) does take some time to reply to PM's but I will get the WP article started in the meantime.

[Bobnova]

That's very cool, he writes good stuff and tends to be one of the very first to get his hands on hardware, should be an excellent traffic generator.

[MattNo5ss]

:clap: windwithme's reviews will be a great addition to the front page.

[I.M.O.G.]

:clap: windwithme's reviews will be a great addition to the front page.

:thup::thup:

[MIAHALLEN]

Hey guys...not to rain on this parade...but I don't like the idea so much...

Don't get me wrong, his photos are excellent, and his write-ups very comprehensive, there's nothing wrong with his work :)

What I'm not so sure about is how this might detract from our somewhat exclusive content... ...none of the writers here are under contract. My first front page article was also posted many places. But after realizing the potential benefit to the site, and a "platform" for me to display my work, I decided all my future articles would be exclusive to OC.com (and my Japanese/English blog for the Japanese markets).

I don't think we should not publish the article, but I would suggest speaking with him and seeing if he is interested in publishing his stuff here exclusively, and linking "news" posts at other forums like I have been doing.

Maybe he likes the way he does it, and won't be interested....on the other hand, he might be very receptive to the idea :shrug: It sure would save him a lot of leg work posting his stuff in all the various forums around the net...plus it would be great for OC.com exposure as was already mentioned ;)

Just some things to consider guys :beer:

[EarthDog]

Good points..... Management? Sounds like something you/they may want to handle...

**pulls up chair**

BUT...these at other sites are just threads, like they are here, now. This will be the only site that would have it as a front page article so its exclusive in that right compared to all others.

I also have a concern as well I would like to discuss privately...

[I.M.O.G.]

I'm all ears.

I'll talk to windwithme and see what his thoughts are.


Subject: Exclusive content on overclockers.com

Hey bud,

Some well respected forum members brought your work to my attention and I
wanted to contact you about your reviews. First of all, you do great work
- my compliments to you! We'll be posting your forum reviews to the blog
on overclockers.com as discussed, but I also wanted to ask if you'd like
to make the full content of your reviews exclusive to Overclockers.com.

Currently, I know that you post them across various forums, creating all
the individual posts necessary. I've created your account for
http://overclockers.com/wp-admin where you are now an author - this means
you can create your own posts there, which will be proofread, editted, and
then scheduled for publishing. This has potential to increase the quality
of your work because spelling, grammar, as well as format has many eyes
looking at it before it gets published. Additionally, I noticed you were
using imageshack for your image hosting - Overclockers.com can provide
image hosting for you also. Our wordpress backend makes it easy for you
to upload individual photos, or bulkload a whole group of photos - if you
haven't used wordpress before, it is very easy to use and learn.

So this is what I'm suggesting - when you have a review, enter and format
it directly on overclockers.com first and submit it for review. We'll
proofread and edit it for you, then fast track it to published status.
Then, rather than starting multipost threads across various forums, you
can just make single posts across various forums introducing the article
with a summary, and linking back to Overclockers.com for the full article.

It should improve your articles overall, as well as make it a bit easier
and quicker to get your material in front of a lot of eyeballs -
overclockers.com gets about 1 million visits a month, which translates to
several million pageviews. :)

Let me know if your interested,
Matt Bidinger (IMOG)

[MIAHALLEN]

Thanks Matt...keep us posted :)

[MIAHALLEN]

i3/i5/i7 overclocking guide is ready and waiting final review :thup:

[EarthDog]

Sent PM's to Hey Zeus and Creecher for a follow up...

I will have windwithme's article ready to move forward by tuesday if not sooner. That delay is on my end, sorry!!!

EDIT: Lost creecher's article b/c of school/busy, and I havent heard back from Hey Zeus for an update. Brollocks article on clarksdale will be done in a few days.

I will be adding pictures to windwithme's article today and tomorrow. It has already had a once over by the proofreader as well.

[EarthDog]

I will get windwithme's article done by friday. 51 pictures that most needed resizing, added + captions, is taking longer than I had expected.

No reply from Hey Zeus on ETA for his article...

[hokiealumnus]

Holy cow. 51 pictures.

We need tables, which we are working on (at least hoping to work on, heh). Could do more than one picture per line that way.

Thanks for the heads up!

[EarthDog]

The reason for the delay, I cant do it at work b/c I cant see the original thread/article's pictures to make sure Im adding them properly.. Im on at work most of the time and not at home... :(

[MIAHALLEN]

Holy cow. 51 pictures.

We need tables, which we are working on (at least hoping to work on, heh). Could do more than one picture per line that way.

Thanks for the heads up!

You can do multiple pictures per line now Hokie...you just have to edit the html manually...check out my articles ;)

[EarthDog]

Thats what I have been trying to do all along to prevent massive scrolling...especially in this article... What does the code look like to do so in HTML?

[hokiealumnus]

No need...tables have been implemented!

Check the editor's bottom row. Handy-dandy buttons to make tables. Just make one that's two columns wide with however many rows you need. Insert the photos just like you normally do, one in each box of the table.

[EarthDog]

I will try that out soon!!! Were you listening to my OCs.com prayers or something? ;)

[hokiealumnus]

Hahaha...thank IMOG for that one, he spoke to the proper person at iNet to have it installed.

[hokiealumnus]

In case you need it ED: How to - Use tables for multiple images per line (http://overclockers.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6352026&postcount=4).

[EarthDog]

Moved i5 661 32nm Clarkdale on Biostar TH55XE article forward for proofreading!!!!

I tried the tables and they were not bad at all. However even though there are 51 pictures, this seemed to flow better without putting them in the tables... If you want me to add a couple here or there, LMK and I can.

[MIAHALLEN]

I'm all ears.

I'll talk to windwithme and see what his thoughts are.

Any respnse Matt?

[I.M.O.G.]

No response at his gmail address, I'll try PM and see if that works better. Thanks for the reminder, I had lost track after never hearing back.

[EarthDog]

Sometimes it takes days for his response FYI...

[I.M.O.G.]

How have you contacted him previously? My email was sent on the 22nd of January. I'm hoping PM works better.

[EarthDog]

Just to setup the initial discussion about his article....My last PM with him was around that time...

[sno.lcn]

MSI is sending me an H55M-ED55, the want me to do an HTPC article. I'll also be testing this one under LN2 if it's got the cajones for it :p

They usually get stuff to me within a day or two, and I'll start testing as soon as it gets here.

[sno.lcn]

Got out of the shower to find a surprise from Gigabyte sitting on my porch, X58A-UD7, I need to get a CPU and another DDR3 kit and I'll start reviewing it asap :D

[EarthDog]

Noted and noted... Wow!!!

Is 2/21 ok for the H55 as an ETA???

Updated!

[sno.lcn]

Yes, I think I should be able to finish my then if it gets here soon enough.

[MattNo5ss]

Windwithme has another great review: Intel New Micro ATX PC - GIGABYTE H55M-USB3 with Core i5 660 Review (http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=635185)

I thought I'd let you know since I didn't see it in your listings on page 1.

[EarthDog]

I hope IMOG has made some contact with him at this point.....we have been trying as we would like to see him load these in to Wordpress himself... Regardless I will look into that one, good find, again, man!!

Sno - hows that article coming along?

[sno.lcn]

Update. I'm putting the H55 review off until next month. Since 890GX (AMD) is a brand new chipset, I think MSI will want me to put that one on top priority. They're both going to be near identical reviews anyway. Except for the LN2 on H55 :D

I'll try and have the X58A-UD7 article finished by the end of the week. I can't promise the writeup will be finished, but the testing will be. It may even be a two-parter, because LN2 testing on this is first priority because of Forum Wars. Hehe it'll probably only see like an hour of use on air before freezing it :beer:



First week of March I'll be on vacation for a week. Don't know if I'm taking stuff to review with me or not. So I'm going to be busting my ass this week to get as much finished as I can.

[hokiealumnus]

You're doing great sno, thanks for the update!

[EarthDog]

GIGABYTE H55M-USB3 with Core i5 660 Review by windwithme added to first post.

updating.......

[sno.lcn]

Update: Desparately trying to find time to finish the UD7 article before going out of town for the weekend.

A CPU for the H55M-ED55 review is on the way, I'll start on that Monday I think :)

[EarthDog]

TYVM for the update!

Updating....

[EarthDog]

Moved Windwithme's article to proofreaders a couple days ago. Waiting on feedback from that before moving it forward. I'm about to give those guys a nudge to verify their status on it.

[hokiealumnus]

They have been nudged.

[sno.lcn]

All of the testing is finished for both of the motherboard reviews I owe you and they'll both be done this week for sure.


*Edit: H55M-ED55 is ready for editing :thup:

[Brutal-Force]

Sno, I want to come over one day and watch you do LN2!!!

[I.M.O.G.]

There's plenty of live-benching going on these days, I suppose if he has the equipment he could webcam it and setup an event where anyone can watch. :)

[EarthDog]

All of the testing is finished for both of the motherboard reviews I owe you and they'll both be done this week for sure.


*Edit: H55M-ED55 is ready for editing :thup:Great! I will jump on it today and let you know!!! :santa:

[sno.lcn]

Gigabyte X58A-UD7 review is ready for editing too. The testing results are extremely brief, I'll be adding stuff to the forum thread as I get more testing in. I'm letting Brolloks use the board for a bit first.

[EarthDog]

Noted... reviewing H55 article now over my lunch (mmm California Tortilla!)

[I.M.O.G.]

Just sent you a PM, check the image guidelines here - following them will shorten the time between submission and publishing, as well as ensure your images are presented in a way that is easily viewable (sans scrolling) for most users of the website:
http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=629930

In the past, we've been fixing this in the editorial process fairly often, but it does take time which we have to fit into our schedules, which prolongs the lead time before publish. :thup:

[sno.lcn]

Disregard the last PM I sent you I.M.O.G. I noticed I haven't been clicking the "file URL" button :beer:

[hokiealumnus]

The images are also too large sno. 800px max on all sides. They can be smaller to maintain the aspect ratio, but it's an absolute max 800px x 800px.

[I.M.O.G.]

The reason for that is what displays nicely with the website layout, which accommodates the majority of our reader's default resolution so they can see everything without scrolling (we know our reader's resolutions from google analytics).

If you want a quick way to resize, installing and using image magick is probably best. Here's how to use it:
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/resize/

Windows install files are here:
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows

Image Magick will take a little reading to understand how to resize from the command line using it. After 5 minutes of reading however, you should be able to resize all your images very easily in the future... Much quicker than editting each in a GUI graphics program like mspaint or photoshop.

[sno.lcn]

I've been resizing them all with the image editor built into wordpress :confused:

[I.M.O.G.]

*removed* - refer to hokie's comment :)

[hokiealumnus]

Heh, was just typing you a PM (YHPM). This is what I do:

Resize all your images before uploading them. You can do it by batch using something like VZO image resizer (http://www.vso-software.fr/products/image_resizer/). Set it to the resolution you need (800x800), tell it to keep the aspect ratio, and let it go to town. If you need help with that at all, let me know.

If you resize them using wordpress that's fine, but linking them that way is a huge pain because of how WP handles the image file names (it doesn't handle it well). If you click "File URL" on a resized image it looks like it plays dumb and links to the full res photo.

EDIT - As slow as the WP image manipulation is, I bet that will save you a ton of time too. :)

[EarthDog]

Hey sno... I dont see your article for H55, just the X58A............

EDIT: Wow, 2 pages in there (still didnt see his H55 article), I guess content isnt an issue or is there that much dead stuff that may/may not need pruned?

EDIT2: I resize them in Paint in W7. Its a button on the 'ribbon' interface that allows you to put in what size you want. I just take the larger of the number and make it 800. It will keep the same aspect ratio by default. can knock out a bunch quick that way. ;)

[I.M.O.G.]

Went through some old stuff recently, and sent some PM's to poke people. A lot of things in various stages of completion, some of which will be ready soon, some which may take some time. :)

[hokiealumnus]

ED - Were light on content today, so it took the fast track since it was done. You don't need to edit the H55M one. :)

[EarthDog]

Ok.... on to the X58 article in that case! :)

If thats ever an issue and there is something sitting on my plate, please let me know and I can bump it up as needed. :)

I thought I was editing his article but realized it was windwithme's... I was like man, sno was really slacking cause this looks like he isnt a native english speaker...hahahahaah! So yeah, that has a quick once over and I saved it.

[EarthDog]

Moved X58 article to proof readers and sent them a PM...this should be good to go quick like....

windwithme's article still needs looked at...I know its backburner stuff now but.....

[hokiealumnus]

ED - No need to send anything to proofreaders. Use them more as a reference and not to proofread articles in general (see this post (http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6436296&postcount=12)). CEs should proofread as best they can and then forward it to us. If you have a specific question about language issues and need a second opinion, that's what he's there for. There is only one now and we're trying not to tax him, especially since he's a CE himself. :)

[EarthDog]

Good thing I havent sent that PM out... Moved to submit for review for you guys and I will step up my once overs. I did not see that post. :)

[sno.lcn]

MSI XPower X58 and Gigabyte X58A-UD9 hopefully in the near future.

[EarthDog]

VERY cool...(if it happens...if it happens...if it happens)!!!

[EarthDog]

Windwithme's article is ready to go... please give it a once over as is always done.

Updated.

[sno.lcn]

can someone get the lightboxes fixed on my latest MSI article? The first several are good, then the rest of them don't work :beer:

[EarthDog]

That would be the Editors. I cannot make changes to a published article. :(

[EarthDog]

I think I will be starting my follow up article for the S1156 Burning issue article I wrote in November. Its been about 4+ months and I have kept my eye open for this issue happening with the Lotes socket and for the Foxconn one and I havent seen either.

[MIAHALLEN]

Hey Joe, I've got my P55A-UD7 article just about finished. Just missing the product photos (I'll shoot them tonight) and then it'll be ready for review (within 24hrs). :thup:

[EarthDog]

Wondeful! Looking forward to seeing it!

[MattNo5ss]

Hey Joe, I've got my P55A-UD7 article just about finished. Just missing the product photos (I'll shoot them tonight) and then it'll be ready for review (within 24hrs). :thup:

Looking forward to that one, hope your review helps validate my decision to go with the P55A-UD7.

[MIAHALLEN]

It will ;)

[MIAHALLEN]

I've been trying to the last hour to get these pictures posted...but WordPress is having some problems. I need to get some sleep, this will have to wait until tonight :(

[MIAHALLEN]

Alright Joe...it's ready for you :thup:

[EarthDog]

Great! After lunch, Im on it!

[I.M.O.G.]

Earthdog, I'd like to try out something new. Once you are done, could you place a checkmark next to mage_x and wonderingsoul in the notifications box in wordpress then leave an editorial comment asking whoever gets to it frist to look it over?

They're both doing some proofreading/grammar polishing for us, and we've found its helping us get articles published faster.

[EarthDog]

Absolutely. Checking over it now...

[I.M.O.G.]

Ninja editted wonderingsoul into my comment above, heads up in case you missed it. ;) Also, you can go ahead and put it in pending review once you are done. Proofreaders have been instructed to work on anything in pending review status as they have time.

As always, thank you!

[EarthDog]

It was already in Pending review when I got to it again. I just hit the Submit for Review button and hope my grammar changes were saved.

Ok, I'll bite, where is the notifications box? And how do I write a comment? I searched high and low...PS- Respond to comment did nothing for me if thats where it was at.

[EarthDog]

Ok...it seems that IE at the office is what blocked the editorial comments as I can leave those now. I left one, and it appears mage_x was already on it in regards to editing!!!!

I still do not see any notification part, sorry.

[hokiealumnus]

Huh..should be a box called "notification subscriptions" right below the editorial comments box where you can put check marks next to any author/editor.

[EarthDog]

THere is but its emtpy when its dropped down. It only drops like a few pixels as well....Does this in Chrome and IE8.

[mage_x]

Ok...it seems that IE at the office is what blocked the editorial comments as I can leave those now. I left one, and it appears mage_x was already on it in regards to editing!!!!

I still do not see any notification part, sorry.
I've not done anything yet, I just looked over it at some point. No changes were made, it just autosaves whenever you open it.

[I.M.O.G.]

I'm thinking only admins have access to modify the notifications subscriptions, I wasn't sure which is why I was having earthdog check. Unfortunately, this is part of the edit flow plugin which is already partially broken, not sure if I can delegate access to the notifications piece. I'll check it out. Thanks for the feedback.

Any progress on this...GBT is starting to wonder if they've sent me all these mainboards in vain :p

Been in proofreaders hands since Friday... ;)

[I.M.O.G.]

Proofreading was done a couple days ago, but miah wasn't notified. Added a comment which he should get in email - check it out in wordpress to review the editorial comments. Once you give the go ahead we can publish.

[MIAHALLEN]

Got the e-mail...made a few modifications as suggested...and submitted for review again. Thanks guys :)

[EarthDog]

Was the proofreader' note and subsequent email not sent?

[MIAHALLEN]

Yeah dude...I got them from Matt yesterday...check my previous post :shrug:

[I.M.O.G.]

Authors are usually automatically added to the notification list, Miah was not added to the notification list due to a problem we were having with a plugin and some troubleshooting I was doing to fix it (notifications for authors are working again, other things are still broke).

When I noticed he wasn't notified, I manually corrected that. Going forward, notification for post authors should work automatically.

Yeah dude...I got them from Matt yesterday...check my previous post :shrug:Yeah, I meant initially, not yesterday (which is why I said proofreader and not Matt, I saw your post.). The proofreader's initial notification were sent out Friday to you MIAH, but matt explained why you didnt get that one. ;)

[MIAHALLEN]

Thanks guys...it's up and looks great! :)
