Gorgor Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share #76 Posted August 31, 2012 Attention The Report Image function is now properly working. I don't think that there should be any problems, but if you ever come across an inappropriate or offensive image then please do not hesitate to use this feature. It will quickly alert anyone who has moderator status on the site (currently only me) of the problem and will allow me to easily remove it. This feature should also be used if you come across an image that is listed under the wrong category (ex: if the sign depicts a location in Manhattan but it's listed in the Brooklyn category). If the site becomes used enough I may pick one or two people to give moderator status to, but I don't really see that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgor Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share #78 Posted September 1, 2012 1 other thing. SBS doesn't support the Airport Symbol. Thanks for pointing that out. It's complicated to explain why, but I should be able to fix that this week. Fixed! SBS signs now allow for airport symbols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgor Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share #79 Posted September 3, 2012 Attention There is a new option for the Display Type Left field called Two Lines - Prefix = Top, Route = Bottom that takes the inputs for Route and Prefix and displays them on top of each other, similar to how the right side is typically formatted. An example of this would be for the Hudson Rail Link. Planned future updates: - Option to display multiple bus routes on one line. (Ex: Some bus stop signs in Staten Island say "X1,X9" on one line) - (Not sure if possible) Option to include local and limited bus routes on one line (Ex: I believe some signs in Brooklyn are half blue and half purple to show that both the local and limited stop there) - Option to include the Downtown Connection symbol (and if possible, any custom symbols you wish to use) - Option to display a no standing sign on the top line with specified hours. (Ex: Typically found on certain stops where rush hour only express buses stop, or where weekday only buses stop) - Option to change the direction of the arrow on the top, and which side of the bus the wheelchair icon is located If you have any suggestions at all, please post them here.

checkmatechamp13 Posted September 3, 2012 Share #81 Posted September 3, 2012 - (Not sure if possible) Option to include local and limited bus routes on one line (Ex: I believe some signs in Brooklyn are half blue and half purple to show that both the local and limited stop there) I know there are places where they have the local & limited on the same line, but right on top of each other. So in other words, It'll say "S61: St. George Ferry" & "S91: St. George Ferry", but instead of taking of taking up 2 seperate panels, it takes up 1 panel and splits it in two. Here's an example I know of (this is one of Google Streetview's earlier views, so unfortunately it's not that clear). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrainFanInfinity Posted September 3, 2012 Share #82 Posted September 3, 2012 If you have any suggestions at all, please post them here. 2 suggestions: 1. In winter, they have these signs on 6th and/or 5th Avenue(s) saying something about not stopping at certain places...I'm not sure about this though. 2. Vice versa signs, destination on the left, route # on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgor Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share #83 Posted September 3, 2012 Is that like the M14A/M14D signs? [image] Yes, that's what I plan on adding. It might be hard from the angle of the picture, but the "M" is in a smaller font size than the "A" and the "D." Although you could get around it in this case by putting "M" in the prefix and "14A/14D" in the route, there's some cases where it won't. I don't think I'm explaining it that well, but it'll be clear when the function's available. Also, what the heck is that sign underneath the M14 one? Wheel chair on call between 1AM to 6AM to the World Trade Center?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgor Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share #84 Posted September 8, 2012 Database Updates You are now able to post comments on signs found in the database. When you post a comment the author of the sign receives a notification. You are now able to rate images by giving them a +1 or a -1. When you rate an image the author receives a notification. In the database, you can now see a preview of what the sign contains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted September 8, 2012 Share #85 Posted September 8, 2012 So can I request a bus stop sign but in the size of an avatar?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NX Express Posted September 8, 2012 Share #86 Posted September 8, 2012 So can I request a bus stop sign but in the size of an avatar?? You can create them yourself, you know. Here's an example, more or less avatar sized; any smaller would be hard to see. This took me 20 seconds to create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NX Express Posted September 8, 2012 Share #88 Posted September 8, 2012 HAHA! Well where are the directions at?? I don't understand. If you mean the link to make these, it's in the first post of this thread or Gorgor's signature. If you mean the bus routes, I didn't make them since it's just an example. This thread is called Bus Stop Sign Creator, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was confused because I thought someone one else originally was doing these and not Gorgor as I thought there was another thread for this a while back ago... Anywho, I'll take a look.

NX Express Posted September 8, 2012 Share #90 Posted September 8, 2012 You log in, then go to My Images and click Create New Image. It's pretty intuitive. That was a different thread IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgor Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share #99 Posted September 8, 2012 I found one so off I go!! --- http://scaped.net/f/...381288cc23a8223 Came out okay, but not quite what I want... I want Hudson Rail Link how it is now but centered.... Is that possible... Also, I would like the route numbers to be bigger... To make a route appear properly, you have to enter the prefix BxM into the prefix box, and the 18 into the suffix box. For the BxM1/BxM2, it's currently not possible to make it look realistic like it does on the actual signs, but I'm currently working on that. As for the Hudson Rail Link centered, that's not possible either but I plan on adding in an option for something similar to that soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
