Uploading images

There are a couple of ways to upload images here.

Upload it as your photo or image - Go to your house and press Upload a new (or delete current) photo. This is good for images that you want there, but you can also use the images on wiki-pages, messages and so on (See img). The drawback is that the image will be resized to a maximum of 500 pixels wide. If you use the image on a wiki-page later, it's a good idea to write what it is in () behind it. Like this

<img:img/photo/1_1175415489.jpg>(Photo of Hedda)

Note that there is no space before the ()! This will make the image's file-name much nicer (unless there is already a file with exactly that name on Elfpack).

Upload a folder of images - Go to your house and press "upload a folder of images" on top. There you can both upload a single photo or an entire archive of photos. The photo(s) will be placed on a new wiki-page that you decide the name of. The only problem is that huge archives often fail to be uploaded. Just try again if this happen! This is best way to upload many photos or a photo that you don't want resized.

Upload art - Go to your house and press "Upload art" on top. This is the best option if you have a big interesting image that you want comments on. The "Upload a folder of images" works too, but this button will list the image on one of your gallery-pages.

Upload to a wiki-page - People can be given the right to upload images directly to wiki-pages. It might be simpler than "Uploading a folder of images" if you want to extend a wiki-page with a photo, but otherwise it has no benefit over that method. Ask the council if you need this function!
