Maybe Ronny was concerned about robot surveillance of offsite links?
Donning my new photo. Thanks for this!
Shhhh... we are not supposed to talk about it. 1984, and so on...

Excellent Ronny, saved me a lot of time and I was able to sell my old one to some guy in the U.S. for 25$ ;-)! Thanks a lot.
Can you add the save instructions via the browser directly to the pimp-up page? I suppose a lot of people will get stuck at that stage unless we can debug it.
ye i will fix it soon. have to sleep a bit first i think :) came from party quite late (or very early actually)... and didn't have time to sleep before working :)
Actually, I already fixed it.
Now you can save it normally with "save image as..."

Thanks. I added this text to my personal description right underneath my photo:

going for-profit <b><a

One more try with cleaner formatting:

That sounds strange Hayko. But it might be the my server host has banned your operator. Altho it's still strange it gives 403 error for that.
Btw, if someone is experience problems with the new layout... well, I will fix it soon. I forgot that some people uses really old browsers that can't handle proper HTML5...
Now it works right for everyone. Tho you still should keep your browsers up to date... it's good for you.
Just done. Very easy to use. What a good idea!
Thanks Ronny, much better for those of us who prefer to stay one version behind the latest and let others do the beta or gamma testing ;-)
Well, if I count right, you are 6 steps behind since I use Firefox 9.0a1
Anyways, the latest and so far coolest version is online.

hey man!
i'd ask if there's a reason for not loading it in spain. but i just saw you're from Castelldefels.
any guess why http://www.3rdw.net/cs/pimpup/ is simply not loading?
cheers

Works fine here in Spain.
Sometimes the server is a bit slow...
yep, working now.
thanks
Hey Ronny, I saw your wicked animated version on your profile. Do you plan on releasing that version or do you plan to go public and charge for upgrades? ;-P
I don't know if I release the animated version. I dbout. Since it's not easy to make it work for people.
Due to nature of CS site and how it handles profile photos, it's very tricky to get animated one. It involves some serios profile hacking (which I love, as you might see from my profile). :) I took me some while to figure out a way to go around all those limitations of the profile before I managed to make it work. (well, now I can think two ways, though very similar, but they are bot both very tricky to do.)
And no, no plans for going public...
I have filed my 503c3 application some time ago, hoping to get regonized as the first non-profit pimp. And starting soon my pione... ummm... verification program soon to provide better compatibility with the members and their profile photos. Also facebook has been interested of helping our profile pimping out. We'll see what comes from that !
Anyways, future of this non-profiting pimping service is very whealthy !

I updated the generator little bit today. With nicer overlays.
If anyone got any text or other idea for the overlay that you would like to be available, then let me know. It's easy to add more of those.
@ Ronny: i add the pic generator under my profile too.
Thanx so much
Ale
The latest version of the site gives you ready made html code to add in photo description to give others a clue how to get such a cool profile photo !
It looks pretty much like this (directly from my profile) :
We are against CS Corporation - READ MORE
and
Pimp Up Your Profile Photo!
bah, this group messed up the links again... but doesn't matter, that's how it looks like but appears with correct links of course :)

I just tested and the generator works fine for me.
Try with different browser, it should work.
Another possible reason is that you have adblock or something that conflict with the page and doesn't display the image.
Anyways, if it doesn't work, send me a private message telling the file name of the photo you uploaded and I will message back giving you the link of the pimped up photo.

Hi everyone.
Getting a Forbidden Access from Thailand.
If it´s too much of a trouble to fix that (go figure), I can wait until I am back in Malaysia in few days.
Cheers,
Jean

Hi.
The error that I get is:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cs/pimpup on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I´ll try again tomorrow from another place and see.
Thanks :-)
Cheers,
Jean

Hello there.
I am back in Malaysia and the link to the Pic Generator is still not working for me.
I now get a
Error 118 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT): The operation timed out.
Cheers,
Jean
I don't know why it doesn't work.
Propably the server host has blocked some addresses. Also possible that your ISP is blocking some Finnish addresses. I have not blocked anyone out (other than couple well known spam networks, where you shouldn't be located) so the problem is propably at higher level.
Anyways, currently I have no interest contacting the host for it since I'm going to change host anyways soon.
I will post here once the move has been done and you can try again.
Meanwhile you can use proxy to bypass the problem. (try some free anonymous "online proxy". https://www.google.com/search?btnG=1&pws=0&q=anonymous+online+proxy )
Hi there.
Yes, I didn´t think a proxy would solve the situation.
Somehow I wasn´t expecting such address to be in any blacklist. Interestingly enough, with a proxy I am able to access the app.
(As you can see, I got my image already)
This proxy worked well (others didn´t):

Thanks again for investing time on this app.
Cheers!
Jean
The service is now on a new server.
If anyone had problems with the old server, that problem should be now gone.
The address stays the same, of course.
http://www.3rdw.net/cs/pimpup/
Btw, I noticed there's a problem with the generator when using Opera. Let you guys know when it's fixed. Till then use any other browser (Chrome, Firefox and IE9 works for sure).
