I guess we'll put the game on hold until we can kinda sort this out. For the ones that still show, I think it's because they didn't "attach" the images in the same way as those which show up in a box that reads "Attached Image". So maybe if they're linked externally rather than attached, they still work since those links are still active.

Kind of a bummer, hope some people can go back and find a way to put their pictures back in or that the mods can maybe fix this.

Just checked the thread and everything seems to be back to normal. All the old pictures are back. Let the challenges continue. Still looking for a casino parking lot.

Well, not sure what happened to bring everything back, but good stuff. So let's get back to it, folks. We're going to reset the clock today...call it noon eastern time today (Sept. 25th), so let's see if someone comes through with a Boxster in a casino parking lot picture in the next couple days before we ask Highlow (Robo-Top) to supply his own.

Got a PM from Wayne the other day saying he found all the files and restored them.
Now, where's the nearest casino?

edit: On second thought, I think I will sit this round out. Got some other projects to work on.

I was planning on heading to a place right next to one this weekend, but plans fell through so I won't be able to provide that picture.

So I'll ditch that one and implement a new challenge:

Boxster next to a water fountain (not the drinking kind, but one used for aesthetics)

i work in a casino.....will try to get a pic on tuesday

Highlow (Robo-Top), I'm going to have to ask that you remove your new challenge until later. If no one supplies the picture from your challenge in the time given, and you are unable to supply the picture yourself, then you may post a new challenge at that time. But I can't let you change the challenge ahead of time simply because you don't have a picture to meet your own challenge. If you can't supply one after the time limit, a point will be deducted per the rules at the beginning of the thread, and you'll be able to put up your new challenge at that time.

Yes, but if you look back to post #143 I decided to reset the clock on this challenge given the hiccup when the forum was updated and a bunch of pictures went AWOL.

So on the new clock we're about 25 hours into this challenge. Can someone go snap this pic already?

Jager · 09-26-2011, 04:58 PM

Does this count? I have a fountain in my front yard.

Next - Your Boxster on a bridge

Overdrive · 09-26-2011, 05:11 PM

Yea, this is what I was trying to avoid. Ok, screw it, lol, Jager gets a point for the fountain (counts as far as I'm concerned because it's a water fountain made for aesthetics, and your car is there with it), so now we'll need you to go back to your post and put in the next challenge in bold.

And please Highlow (Robo-Top), go back and edit your post about the casino picture and put a note next to it that that challenge has been cancelled so someone doesn't see it and think it's active. If you want to bring it back up again after your next point, feel free. Since Jager posted a pic going with your proposed new challenge, I'm just going to go with it from here. No one's been docked any points yet, so I don't think anyone will complain about this rule bend, but this will be the only time.

So, whadaya got, Jager?
