Forums Closed
|
As of January 1, 2019, we have closed our forums. This is a decision we did not come to lightly, but it is necessary. The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk. The server software itself must be updated, and it cannot be without removing the forums.
So it is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our long-running forums. They came online in 2000 and brought together so many wonderful Disney fans. We had friendships form, careers launch, couples marry, children born ... all because of this amazing community.
Thank you to each of you who were a part of this community. You made it possible.
And a very special thank you to our Guides (moderators), past and present, who kept our forums a happy place to be. You are the glue that held everything together, and we are forever grateful to you. Thank you aliceinwdw, Caldercup, MrsM, WillCAD, Fortissimo, GingerJ, HiddenMickey, CRCrazy, Eeyoresmom, disneyknut, disneydani, Cam22, chezp, WDWfan, Luvsun, KMB733, rescuesk, OhToodles!, Colexis Mom, lfredsbo, HiddenMickey, DrDolphin, DopeyGirl, duck addict, Disneybine, PixieMichele, Sandra Bostwick, Eeyore Tattoo, DyanKJ130, Suzy Q'Disney, LilMarcieMouse, AllisonG, Belle*, Chrissi, Brant, DawnDenise, Crystalloubear, Disneymom9092, FanOfMickey, Goofy4Goofy, GoofyMom, Home4us123, iamgrumpy, ilovedisney247, Jennifer2003, Jenny Pooh, KrisLuvsDisney, Ladyt, Laughaholic88, LauraBelle Hime, Lilianna, LizardCop, Loobyoxlip, lukeandbrooksmom, marisag, michnash, MickeyMAC, OffKilter_Lynn, PamelaK, Poor_Eeyore, ripkensnana, RobDVC, SHEANA1226, Shell of the South, snoozin, Statelady01, Tara O'Hara, tigger22, Tink and Co., Tinkerbelz, WDWJAMBA, wdwlovers, Wendyismyname, whoSEZ, WildforWD, and WvuGrrrl. You made the magic.
We want to personally thank Sara Varney, who coordinated our community for many years (among so many other things she did for us), and Cheryl Pendry, our Message Board Manager who helped train our Guides, and Ginger Jabour, who helped us with the PassPorter-specific forums and Live! Guides. Thank you for your time, energy, and enthusiasm. You made it all happen.
There are other changes as well.
Why? Well, the world has changed. And change with it, we must. The lyrics to "We Go On" for IllumiNations say it best:
We go on to the joy and through the tears
We go on to discover new frontiers
Moving on with the current of the years.
We go on
Moving forward now as one
Moving on with a spirit born to run
Ever on with each rising sun.
To a new day, we go on.
It's time to move on and move forward.
PassPorter is a small business, and for many years it supported our family. But the world changed, print books took a backseat to the Internet, and for a long time now it has been unable to make ends meet. We've had to find new ways to support our family, which means new careers and less and less time available to devote to our first baby, PassPorter.
But eventually, we must move on and move forward. It is the right thing to do.
So we are retiring this newsletter, as we simply cannot keep up with it. Many thanks to Mouse Fan Travel who supported it all these years, to All Ears and MousePlanet who helped us with news, to our many article contributors, and -- most importantly -- to Sara Varney who edited our newsletter so wonderfully for years and years.
And we are no longer charging for the Live Guides. If you have a subscription, it's yours to keep for the lifetime of the Live Guides at no additional cost. The Live Guides will stay online, barring server issues and technical problems, for all of 2019.
That said, PassPorter is not going away. Most of the resources will remain online for as long as we can support them, and after that we will find ways to make whatever we can available. PassPorter means a great deal to us, and to many of you, and we will do our best to keep it alive in whatever way we can. Our server costs are high, and they'll need to come out of our pockets, so in the future you can expect some changes so we can bring those costs down.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your amazing support over the years. Without you, there's no way us little guys could have made something like this happen and given the "big guys" a run for their money. PassPorter was consistently the #3 guidebook after the Unofficial and Official guides, which was really unheard of for such a small company to do. We ROCKED it thanks to you and your support and love!
If you miss us, you can still find some of us online. Sara started a new blog at DisneyParkPrincess.com -- I strongly urge you to visit and get on her mailing list. She IS the Disney park princess and knows Disney backward and forward. And I am blogging as well at JenniferMaker.com, which is a little craft blog I started a couple of years ago to make ends meet. You can see and hear me in my craft show at https://www.youtube.com/c/jennifermaker . Many PassPorter readers and fans are on Facebook, in groups they formed like the PassPorter Trip Reports and PassPorter Crafting Challenge (if you join, just let them know you read about it in the newsletter). And some of our most devoted community members started a forum of their own at Pixie Dust Lane and all are invited over.
So we encourage you to stay in touch with us and your fellow community members wherever works best for you!
Best wishes for a wonderful and magical new year!

Okay so I got this design, see below, which I now want to print onto BLACK t-shirts but I don't want the white background to come out but I can't make it a transparent background.

Re: Is there anyone good with graphics that can help me PLEASE
you sure you want to do black? you might lose Mickey and Goofy's heads in the black t-shirt. Great graphic, though . . . can you just trim out the white - that way you'll have a little border?

Here's a quick-stab at it, using paintbrush.
Let me know if you want me to clean it up all the way.

Re: Is there anyone good with graphics that can help me PLEASE
When I have used the transfers for dark T-shirts (Avery Brand), the transfer is not clear. The design (which you don't reverse)is printed onto white paper and you have to trim the design as close as you can. You then iron it on like you would a patch. Hope that helps as that would eliminate most of the white.

I think if you are going to go with black shirts you should change the color of your text to white so that it shows up nicely. Red text might not show up too clearly on a black shirt.

Re: Is there anyone good with graphics that can help me PLEASE
You could also take the image and make a "cameo" around the image of the soccer players and then, as Rob suggested, change the text to white.
I have some high-res images of the trio playing soccer. If you want (and have high-speed internet access), PM me your email address and I'll send them to you.

Here's a low-res version of how I would do it - I can send you the high-res version if you'd like.

Re: Is there anyone good with graphics that can help me PLEASE
That one w/ the big soccer ball is cool! Too bad I don't have a family to take to WDW! Hmmm, I might just have to cahnge it to Lisa is ... and make my own shirt!
Don't want to be a grammar cop, but shouldn't it say The Davis Family is (not are) having a ball? I would hate to think some mena person is mkaing fun of your shirt or soemthing! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Is there anyone good with graphics that can help me PLEASE
I kind of agree but as I'm wearing the shirt I wouldn't say "We is having a ball" I'd say "We are having a ball" so doesn't the same grammar apply ?

Re: Is there anyone good with graphics that can help me PLEASE
No - actually the word "family" makes it singular (you're only one family. The exchange would be "it"... if you want to try the substitution trick.)
"It is having a ball"
So, I think I need to make a revision to the file I sent you and correct that, huh?! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
