If you got some sort of notification or error message, I would just submit the 30 you uploaded and start a new submission with the rest of your images. If you happen to be stopped at 30 again, I would imagine that 30 is the cap.

Yeah there isn't a limit to screenshots in a gallery so I would just start a new image submission session with whatever you have left.

Edit: Your welcome.

If I want to add images to a Concept Artist's page but all I can find are self-portraits, can I upload them?

Also, is it appropriate to create a gallery for the concept art he made for the game?

The artist I'm referring to is Andrew Jones who drew art for the Metroid Prime series.

"Images can include box art, screenshots, concept art, fan art, and more. When uploading images, we strongly encourage users to either associate their images with an appropriate gallery, or create a new gallery when necessary." That is taken directly from the help page, so I would say the answer is yes.

I have discovered that there is a limit. You may 'upload' as many images as you like. Except you can only add 30 images to a gallery at a time. I really hope this gets extended later down the line, it takes forever adding a few hundred screenshots to a game.

Some suggestions:

1. Try not to load all your pictures from one site. We don't want to be seen as a clone of whatever place. I'm doing a bunch of ordinary objects, and for the pictures, I'm not using the Wikipedia picture because someone could be looking there too and they'll think we're a cheap knockoff.

2. Be succinct . Don't download hundreds of pictures because you got them or just want a bunch of points. The pictures should show important scenes in the game, not because there's a hottie in a bikini that is just a minor character.

3. Be wary in submitting things for popular games. There's a moderation queue  of somewhere around three days, and stuff may already be submitted. Saying don't submit something because it's popular is preposterous, but just be prepared for the possibility of rejection.

I accidentally uploaded a couple of images to the wrong person. Is there a way to delete this or contact a moderator to make sure they don't allow the images to go through?

I can't upload images at all. I go to Add Images-->Upload and under "Select Files" the loading bar just keeps going forever. Anyone else have this problem or know what I should do about it?

i tried to upload a .jpg of 8.86 KB and the following error showed.

error
error









 at the uploader shows the file size 10KB even though it's 8.86 and this is really surprising that a site's actually asking for bigger sized files.

and i'd like to know that how can we delete the pictures we've uploaded.

I know we're not allowed to have watermarks on images, but what about having a screenshot of an Xbox game with the xbox.com logo on the bottom right. Like this:

I added 11 images to my account and tried to link those to:

The Designers Republic
Wip3out
Wip3out SE

  ...in a new gallery for each as "Wallpapers". They're the official team wallpapers as created by The Designers Republic for Wip3out.

2 of the images were accepted for all of the galleries and 9 were rejected. One of the rejected images appears as the thumbnail for each of the galleries, yet isn't in any of the galleries. When I try to resubmit the 9 rejected images, I get a 500 error, even if I exclude the rejected image that appears as a thumnbail.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

How do I go about removing images from a gallery? I have found two images attached to Vectorman, Tomba!, Grandia, Xenogears, and Heavenly Sword that I am pretty sure are not related to any of those games at all.

The pictures in question. 1, 2

Watermarks from developers or platforms are fine I think. That's the original state they where released to the public in so there is no way of getting them without those watermarks.

K I got a question how about cropping watermarked pictures? Like cropping it in a way that the watermark is gone? I would think no because of legal stuff but i'm not sure.

I have a question here, I am trying to change the image that serves as boxshot for Silent Storm because the one that's used is a magazine cover. somehow, I can't do it.

How can you change the cover / boxshot of a game?

Nudity is allowed as long as it's an actual screenshot and is kept to the page of the game it's from. Even so, I always go out of my way to put work-safe screenshots on the front page and just pick tame screenshots in general. I could've uploaded 350 pics worth of porn from that game featuring highly graphic sex if I wanted to, but instead I picked 4 or so fairly tame pics that don't even show genitals. I don't see the problem. There are pages that have a lot more than that.

Would you have approved of it more if it was guy on guy stuff? Because we've got that too. :P

Those screenshots are tame compared to some I've seen for other games here. Definitely NSFW!

Ah well, you probably won't run into it then. That is, if you don't happen to find it in someone's user gallery.

I dunno... It's the official insignia of the Church of Satan, so I thought it might offend some people. People offended by nudity tend to be offended by many other things too.
