Black Yourself Out! Beta Launch of New Feature!

[dusman]

http://www.blackthisout.com

Alright, boys and girls. I need you guys to scroll down and try out the new feature on the web site. This will allow anyone to go and put a black bar on their face and put a small promo for the moneybomb.

I just want to give it a good usability test and see if any of you discover any bugs or issues.

Report back if you have any problems!

[Oddone]

Nice! At work so can't test it, but can't wait.

[fearthereaperx]

site's not loading

[dusman]

Try once more. Sometimes it will go down for 30sec spurts in the early morning. Likely the hosting company doing maintenance. Will be transferring it to a dedicated here soon enough.

[BuddyRey]

I'm on the way to try it now. Thanks!

[garyallen59]

Works great! Very glad we have this feature now. Thanks, dusman!

[InTradePro]

+Rep (but maxed out)

Awesome.

A "how to create a black this out profile phot" wants to be posted on the various Ron Paul facebook groups.

[harikaried]

It does a POST then 404'sWorks for me now.

[brenton]

works for me! very nice, good work!

[D.A.S.]

I just tried it, and first time, my downloadable picture didn't appear, so I reloaded the site, and it worked perfectly then! (this was on linux, older version Firefox, too)

my avatar is the result. thanks!

[Matthew5]

I'm on a mac and using Chrome. It bugged out the first time but when I refreshed the page it worked perfectly.

[cucucachu0000]

works great, if i have only one suggestion it would be cool to add more bars if you need them.

[scrosnoe]

i got a pic uploaded fine but couldn't find the bar at first and never could get it to resize
i am a mac user on safari browser

[mit26chell]

The black bar that you place on your photo needs to stay like it appears while your editing it - because it looks like a film strip (media) with the perforated edges, then just turns into a solid black bar after you finish.

[hillertexas]

It worked beautifully on my Mac with Safari.
I only wish I could have angled the bar and like someone else said....I wish I could have added a second bar

Got it done that time:

Thanks!

[Lovecraftian4Paul]

Works wonderfully. Good way to promote the moneybomb.

[wrestlingwes_8]

I agree!! My wife and I would like to black out a picture with both of us in it...any chance you could put in that option?

[harikaried]

For now, you can add one bar, save the file and do it again to add the second bar.

[dusman]

For now, you can add one bar, save the file and do it again to add the second bar.

This is the best way to do this so far. I'll see what we can do to add additional bars here soon. I'd also like to be able to rotate those bars as that would be pretty useful and make it much more versatile. Unfortunately, I have to move forward with a major component, which is setting up the ability to do e-mail campaigning.

I appreciate all the feedback guys! I'll review over these more tomorrow and try to resolve issues that you've all pointed out!

[Eryxis]

I'm on windows vista and using Chrome. It bugged out the first time but when I refreshed the page it worked perfectly.

Same thing for me.

[Jack Hunter]

I've been trying to support by blacking myself out for 3 days now. First day the link would not work. Days 2 and 3, the page is blank and keeps refreshing itself every 10 seconds or so. Any ideas folks?

Granted I'm not the most technical person around, but I'd like to think I'm not this dumb. Everyone else is doing it just fine so maybe I am.

Are you perhaps using IE9? I've been noticing a trend of IE9 users having issues. If you have another browser, I would try that. Shoot me a PM if you still have problems and I'll black one out for you.
