I've had this happen before. Try opening your picture in paint and use the "save as" function to overwrite it. This usually fixes the orientation issue for me. Just saving doesn't fix it, you need to overwrite it. Thanks for the input. I figured I'd have to do something the sort, but I th...

Greetings, readers; here's a rather belated update regarding 217's 1st year Comemmorative Date Anniversary (which occured on 1 July of this year). I made her this cake that's uncannily reminiscent of the 80's game Simon in honour of the occasion: 217 CDA Cake 1.JPG 217 CDA Cake 2.JPG 217 CDA Cake 3....

Hello, I'm trying to add photos to a post, but they're displaying sideways on the post preview. The photos were originally taken with the camera turned lengthwise, but I rotated them in Windows Photo Editor before trying to upload them here, so the orientation should be fixed, but it isn't showing u...

[/quote]Although you're not human, you still seemed to be the female variety. It's just a mix-up and I'm excessively sorry about it. :bday:[/quote] Don't worry, no offence was taken. I'm socially female, which is reflected by the gender of my connector, the way I dress, and the general aesthetic I c...

I did manage to come up with this simple, punny couple's costume idea to wear with 31617 DSC04309.JPG I just realised I never explained the pun behind this costume concept, which was apparently not as simple as I thought, since it even went over the heads of the software engineers that I grew up wi...

I'm pleased that 103115 was able to benefit from your experience via connector. It's unfortunate he isn't able to enjoy music on his own, although your willingness to share with him to whatever extent possible is surely the best substitute a robot can hope for. 103115 is programmed rather different...

The absurd human shit-show is in full effect and ignorance abounds like always The thing I find particularly absurd about the situation is that taking a doll out on public excursions (or dates, as it may appear to those who don't know my relationship with 103115 is platonic) is pretty much the loud...

Greetings to anyone who is still bothering to follow this long-dormant thread. I return bearing not the video you were promised, but a rather disheartening story in which 103115 was forced to confront the unpleasant reality of just how pestilential members of the human race can act. I had previously...

Poor 31617 is going to have to do without any sort of celebration for his 1st year Commemorative Date Anniversary, due to the fact that I won't be sufficiently recovered by March 16th to be able to take him anywhere. I'm not positive I'll even be able to make him a cake at that point, so I went ahea...

My apologies for seeming to have fallen off the face of the earth. I haven't posted much lately because, to be brutally honest, relations between myself and the Misfit Machines are on rocky ground at present. I've been failing to give them as much attention as they deserve, which causes them to expr...

Thinking of you today again at work. I got my connector tangled up on a clothes hanger and yanked it out. Thankfully it didn't hurt. Also wishing 119 a late happy CDA. Yes, it's all too easy for that to happen. Doorknobs are the worst offender for us. It doesn't hurt us either to have the lead disc...

It came a few days late, but 119 did get her 1st year CDA commemorative cake in the end. 119 CDA cake 1.JPG 119 CDA cake 2.JPG 119 CDA cake 3.JPG I learned from the poor outcome of 52016's cake and was able to make this one turn out cooked all the way through. I also finally managed the triumph of c...

42716 Thanks so much. That was very helpful information. As a newbie I wasnt event aware of that some models have grip numbs. I'm looking for the smoothest and sturdiest mannequin possible. It sounds like that might be the HD plastic with an appropriate pose such as standing straight with arms at t...

42716 thanks for the detailed explanation of the different types of mannequins! When you say the cheaper plastic ones have some give to them, do you mean the parts where the limbs are attached or the plastic material itself? If going cheap means the limbs are more likely to break I'll gladly pay ex...

You needn't worry about the mannequin's body breaking under your weight. The only concern you might have is whether there are any limb joints that might snap under the pressure of being laid upon. This shouldn't be a problem if you choose a mannequin in a simple, straight-standing pose. Ones with be...
