Added a Quick Help section
to the very first post in the Database.
This covers all the questions I have been asked.
Here is a copy of it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUICK HELP
1. "What is this Database about?"
Palomine had a great idea.
Set up a collection of images,
that show the logos of the morph artists.
We expanded that to include 3D Renders and Drawings.
The Artist Logos Database is the result.
2. "What do you mean 'Database', this is just a thread, isn' it?"
Ok, you got me.
It is a simulation.
We are using a flat one-dimension forum thread,
to simulate a multi-dimentional database.
And to do that requires some very careful structuring,
and a very technical explanation in the documentation.
3. "If it is not a regular thread, how should I think of it?"
Think of it as a Book.
Each post is a page or section from that Book.
The first post is the cover of that Book.
The second post has a Table of Contents,
and every post is structured around that Table of Contents.
4. "Shouldn't this be in a gallery, instead of a thread?"
Absolutely.
We expect, that at some future date,
this will be moved to a gallery here at the BEA,
hopefully a free gallery.
5. "I don't want to use this as a Database, I just want to see the pictures."
Every post is either a Documentation Post (long and wordy),
or an Image Post (short and terse).
Every Image Post has an picture attachment (some pictures are collages).
Enjoy.
6. "Where did you find all these Artists?"
Each section of this Database has a Links Section.
Look at the "Table Of Contents" (first part of next post).
Notice the Links section as the last part of the Breast Morphs Documentation
(Breast Morphs Documentation begins with Post #3).
7. "How do I find the Image Post for someone, say Magic?"
Go to the Image Index in the Breast Morphs Documentation
(Breast Morphs Documentation begins with Post #3).
Image Index is in alpha order.
Look up Magic in the Index.
You find: "BM0079 C Magic, Name".
The 0079 is the Image Post Number.
Image Posts are in numerical order.
Just surf downward until you find "Image Number: BM0079"
8. "What about morph artists whose logo is not their name, say an 'E' ?"
Go to the Logo Cross-Reference in the Breast Morphs Documentation
(Breast Morphs Documentation begins with Post #3).
Read down that list until you find: "E = The Engineer".
9. "Is everybody in the Database in alpha order?"
No. That is not possible.
Every new posting goes on the end of the thread, or a sub-thread.
Only The Image Index, a part of each section's documentation,
is maintained in alpha order.
See Quick Help #7 for more information.
10. "If I cannot post here, where can I?"
Here.
