[member='rob'], one thing. Can you fix the order of Tomoko's entries before you translate the third? The first should be the second.

[/quote]



Aren't they date and time stamped? So they should sort themselves out?

[/quote]



Oh wait. The format for showing her entries is with the translation date. I went to check another blog, and is sorted by the original date. I had to change that and everything is ok by my side now. Weird (I thought the configuration was universal)

I'll write a call for volunteers post tomorrow. And on Saturday, I'll try to fix the pictures on the front page. A plugin was used to enable the thumbnails, but it's not compatible with the latest version of Wordpress so I'll need to put together a workaround.

[/quote]

Both done. I'll be monitoring the site closely the next couple of days to make sure the site doesn't get super slow again.

Fixed. A plugin is used to do this and it doesn't always work on new categories. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... adwall.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':headwall:' />





The melon icon for Akari looks like crap because I made it. If someone can find a better one, do let me know. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' />





I hope I don't have much a of a to do list now... <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />

[yuzuriha]

Just so you all know I'm going out of town today but I am hoping to catch up on Sakura's entries tomorrow as soon as I get home.





In general I won't be able to update on Fridays because I stay at my mom's and don't have access to a computer.

[Estrea]

Hmm busy weekend for me (why does everybody decide that they want to go out with me suddenly? Iron Man 3 was great though), most likely I'll get caught up on translations during work next week. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /angel.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> I'm all done with the stuff due for the first half of the week, and it looks to be slow so I should be able to translate at work...and my supervisor is on leave! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /dance.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':dance:' /> That should make things easier...

Hey Everyone!



I'm known as MiracleHappyLove, Neminia or Mine-chan, call me whatever you want but I guess Mine is the shortest. I'm from Germany so English isn't my first language. I'm sorry for future mistakes!

Well I wanted to help you out quite a while ago, but I was in the middle of my final year of school and had some of my final exams just this past week. There are still two oral exams left for the end of May, but for now I have a lot of free time to prepare blog posts. Yay! I don't any experience, though...



Anyways, nice to meet you all, I'm glad that I can help out <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /happy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='^_^' />

[xepher416]

Hi, I'm interested in prepping niigaki's blog <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Im pretty much free everyday after school and this would be a good experience for me.

BTW I checked the first post for the tutorial, but theres nothing there. Since this is a first for me, a tutorial is a must.

Anyway, Nice to meet you.

[thaipokecard]

I will have final exam weeks for the next two weeks so I will try to catch up with prepping as much as possible.

There are several entries today so I will do that after group project meeting. Sorry about that.

[Tundra Wind]

I think I'm going to give up on prepping Sayumi's blogs sooner or later. I'm horrible at keeping up with her daily so I end up with a pile of posts quite a bit. I'll keep prepping until there's somebody that wants to prep her blogs though.





@Essy Btw, I've finished prepping all of Okada Marina and Uozumi Yuki's blog posts so you're set to translate whenever.



@Mine-chan Welcome <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... joyful.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':joyful:' /> and good luck on your oral exams!



@xepher416 Welcome <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... joyful.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':joyful:' /> The tutorial seems to be locked so you can only see it when you log in with an account that strawberryjam will set up for you soon.

Don't worry about English! We have a lot of members here who's native language is not English. I know BBS sounds like an evil place, but we're definitely forgiving to people that aren't the most familiar with English. It's just the worse when people KNOW English, but choose to speak in the most unclear and uneducated way. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />

Alright, I think I can do this. But does it matter which blog date I start at, or can I choose.

I look forward to working withyou guys. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... joyful.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':joyful:' />

[Neminia]

@Strawberryjam Thank you very much! Alright then, I think I should be able to behave <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' /> When I have questions should I rather post them here or can I PM you?

[WhiteForte]

Nemia, just post here. This is what this thread is about <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... joyful.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':joyful:' />

[Neminia]

Yeah, you're right <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />

I just want to see if I understood the part which wasn't specifically described in the tutorial: I'll copy the japanese text into the blog-project post and add the smileys and photos, right?



Ah and I guess Sayuki isn't in the categories yet, I don't know how to do that^^" Nevermind, found it!



Last question for now: Tasaki Asahi's last translated post was from April 16th. Do I start from there to have all blog posts or is there a limit to how old the blog posts are allowed to be?

[Estrea]

@Tuna: Haha ok thanks! I've been a bit busy at work but I'll get on it soon.



@Neminia: I've actually prepped quite a bit of Tasaki Asahi's posts, check all posts and select her under categories. ^^; I wasn't expecting any help at that point and I've been too busy to translate since I prepped those. You can continue from where I stopped! And thanks for coming to join us!

[Neminia]

@Estrea You did? I'm sorry, but I checked it and only found the published posts. When I selected "All" posts and filtered Tasaki Asahi out there were no drafts, not even mine. When I selected "drafts" and Tasaki Asahi, there was nothing shown at all <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /wacko.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wacko:' />

You can tell me where you stopped (you can tell me the date of the last one you prepped) and I will continue from there. If I did some you already did, you can delete mine <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />



I look forward working with you, I'll try to be as fast as possible with updating so that you can concentrate on translating^-^

[/quote]



Until someone else can take over, would it help if I marked some that you could skip? A lot of times she posts really similar entries between her two blogs and some of the posts are just announcements of shows she's going to be on.

[Estrea]

@Neminia: That thing's been a bit buggy today, I think. I know I have a bunch of drafts up until, umm, April 25th. It's not showing up for me, but it's on my dashboard because I'm the author of those posts. My home internet's a bit slow so I'll clear the duplicates at work tomorrow (where the connection's faster, haha). Look forward to working with you too! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Hopefully I can catch up...sometimes it feels like there's no end to it since I'm only caught up with Marin's lmao. Thanks though!

[yuzuriha]

For the record, I told Berry that I will translate Sayuki's blog if no one else wants to do it, but I won't really have the time to dedicate to doing two blogs until about two weeks from now, so if someone else wants to claim her that's fine. Otherwise I'll get started in a couple weeks when my schedule frees up a bit.

[Neminia]

@Estrea: Okay, sorry... in the end I even made you some extra work <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />

Yeah I can imagine that this is quite tough, because almost every day there is a new post to translate, but I'm sure you can make it ;)

[Tundra Wind]

@TnB Oh good, I can skip those <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> That would help but I think I should be able to figure out which ones to skip for the most part so you don't have to work even more. Would you like me to prep the Ameba or Gree posts when similar entries pop up?



Dang, I thought I was going to catch up this weekend but I ended up going into work and actually not procrastinating on studying for once. I'll catch up on prepping Sayu's blog as the week goes by.

[YayYuuko]

To strawberryjam and rokun,

I'm really sorry, but I've only just realised I made a mistake when saying that I wouldn't be able to prep for the second week of May. I meant the 3rd week - 13th May onward. I'm really sorry for realising this so late. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... adwall.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':headwall:' /> I got confused about what day the beginning of May begins. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... adwall.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':headwall:' /> Sorry for the misunderstanding. And also, I'll be back after my tests on the 18th. I'm sorry for not checking my calendar properly. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nfused.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

[rokun]

@Yuukocchi: It's no problem to hear you'll be able to prep longer than you originally thought <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> And thanks for giving an exact date too... though I'm sure I'll forget about it when it comes, lol. Will you be able to let us know on the 13th when you can't prep? That way I can just charge onward with the new blogs for the next week, until you say you're back.



@Neminia and Estrea: I'm not completely sure what you're saying, but on the dashboard (all posts) if you try to filter by a name (such as Asahi), for some reason it doesn't pull up drafts, just published posts. That's why we had the preppers start adding the names of the girls to the blog titles - you can then do a search on that name, and drafts will show up in those results. Just thought I'd mention it since you're both new to the site. Hope it helps!





Also, to the new preppers coming in (as well as some of the old ones): There seems to be some inconsistency with how everyone's copying or uploading pictures and emoticons for prepping blog posts. I've had some blogs lately which come in with the actual pictures being c&p'd over (hotlinked), and have had to re-up them. Also, if the pictures are large, does everyone upon uploading select "Medium" (the default for me) as the picture size before inserting them into the post? I think I've noticed this mainly for some ameba blogs like Risako's.



As for emoticons, everyone's either using the built-in ones (if they're exact or similar), or copying over from the "Emoji List" draft post, right? :)

Ok! Just PM me if you're not sure about an entry and I should be able to answer pretty quickly. As for Gree vs Ameba, just pick whichever is easier to prep. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

[rokun]

Hey, is there a way to set fonts when doing a blog in Wordpress? It seems the new J=J entries, when copied over, seem to get all screwy with fonts and don't stay consistent. There are work-arounds, but they're a bit painstaking and don't always work (like copying the text into notepad and then back).

[WhiteForte]

I think you can use the option of paste as plain text or copy the text in the "Text" tab and then switch to Visual.

[Neminia]

@rokun: Thank you! Well there was one Emoji which wasn't one of the built in ones and wasn't really similar to any of the Emoji list. It was something like a x3 and so I uploaded it... I'm sorry <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/oiy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':oiy:' />



And I noticed that problem with the fonts, too. I tried it to fix it, but sometimes it doesn't recognise the enters. Especially when I inserted photos in between paragraphs of text. Those where the photos where at the beginning of the post were mostly fine.

[rokun]

@WhiteForte: It's not that you're being slow or anything, but I'm gonna jump ahead and translate Captain's two remaining posts from today, since I feel like they're important (especially the last one) and I'd like to get them done ASAP.
