Erm..my Hecate v2 is not a WIP, it's a released, done, in-game, downloadable ship.
I said I plan on doing a even more detailed model later, but that doesn't mean that this one isn't done.
Others Hecates were just screenies of a model in progress, not even textured.

[color=66ff00]Ah, the last thread I saw relating to your Hecate was the v.1 one where you talked about working on something else and then returning to the Hecate model.

As Kalfireth said though, we're not dissing your work if we don't highlight it.

Meh. Who cares about the highlights. If you get in, you get in. If not, so what? I can't recall ever being highlighted. The work is the reward, you know?

Said by a man with a current highlight

[mikhael]

Oh that's too funny. *heh*

I've never looked up there before; I almost always access the forums through my subscriptions.

ANYONE CAN SUGGEST A HIGHLIGHT THAT WILL ONLY HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY AN ADMIN OR PROJECT LEADER. WE CAN'T KNOW EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON ON EVERY SUBFORUM.

We said that several times already. Stop *****ing and start using the bloody website features. We post highlights of stuff we find and think is cool enough. If they're suggested, and we think it's cool enough, it'll be approved and will show up as a highlight. Simple as that.

Is that what the "Suggest as news post" link is for on every single post on the boards?

[karajorma]

You can also add highlights via the main HLP page. Simply choose the add content option and choose highlight.

Only last time I tried that I screwed it up and ended up with a highlight with no picture and a broken link.

Still not 100% sure what I did wrong there either.

No, that's to post news items. Highlights need pictures attached to them - more specifically, a single GIF or JPEG 160 pixels wide and 50 pixels tall.

When I tried to highlight Singh's fanfic, it somehow ended up as an article that'd been posted by Windrunner.

Probably an error on my part.

[karajorma]

Ah. That explains it

[MatthewPapa]

In my opinion steak has been doing a good job with highlights

That's because the moderator/admin who approves the suggestion is listed as its poster (never mind that they often make modifications).  It's built in to the system, at least in part, to prevent abuse.
