Bryan Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I don't know the exact name of the guy on the left of the picture is, but I know who this guy is. Do I get some extra point for that? By the way, Christian is this Marshall (or General I don't know) which you made him a round trip concerning the capture of Wien? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 A serious question: Will there come a time when -- accounting for those on slower internet connections -- we need to split this thread off into a "Volume II"? Maybe that is a reason that quiz participation has declined??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that is a reason that quiz participation has declined???Dear Ed,the internet connection opens only one (of the almost 100 sites ) of Christophe's quiz.So, it wouldn't make any difference, if we would split up the quiz.I can't imagine at all, that GMIC works at all on none ultra-high-speed internet connections - you would wait for minutes for uploading a site .Best regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 Good question, Ed.I don't know if the length of the Quiz has an impact on participation... What do the IT experts think ? Nick, our Chairman, what's your opinion ?If this is the case, I'm of course ready to launch a "Volume II" of the Quiz. Let's say this : To be neat and clean, the Quiz will be two years old on 1st November 2007. So, if several of you (including IT experts) think this could be a good option, I'll begin Volume II on 1st November, or at the closest time when a question will have been answered.Let's know what you think.Cheers.Ch.

Christian Zulus Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Dear Christophe,as already stated, GMIC opens page per page - so, it makes NO difference, if a thread is long or not .Best regards ChristianDear Ed,the internet connection opens only one (of the almost 100 sites ) of Christophe's quiz.So, it wouldn't make any difference, if we would split up the quiz.I can't imagine at all, that GMIC works at all on none ultra-high-speed internet connections - you would wait for minutes for uploading a site .Best regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 Frankly, I have no idea about this. I am far from being an IT expert (and don't want at all to be one... ).

Ed_Haynes Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Ask Nick if this will cause us problems. I know it does on other fora I am (or used to be) involved with.Though just a thought . . . .

Christian Zulus Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 All the images have to load, I think.

Ed_Haynes Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 For uploading ALL the images of our quiz, you might have to wait for at least one hour .And what is the wait-time for those on slow dial-up connections????Just raising a question, and a concern I have seen expressed on other sites.

Christian Zulus Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 No desire to start a fight.Dear Ed,of course, "no fight" .I am also not an IT-expert, but I guess, that the fractioning up into 94 sites speeds up the download time dramatically.Best regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
