According to the Portrait FAQ:

Images may be rejected if they are too small, if they duplicate or strongly resemble an existing portrait, if they are too blurry to make out their details, if they show nudity, or if there are words on the image. They may also be rejected if they cannot be cropped square.

Might any of those reasons apply?

In the above case, the email wasn't received.  It's been re-sent and will be included in the next update.

Sorry, but would there be any way to check and figure out which one of those reasons was the cause for my particular image to not be included? I don't mean to be a hassle but if I knew which one of those above stated was the reason I feel like I would be able to re-submit more successfully.

Hello. I can't seem to find my submitted portrait either. Was the email received, or was there anything wrong with the image?

Thank you!

If anyone wants answers to questions like these, then you're going to have to present enough detail so that I can remember, by 1) sending me an rmail with the image imported using the <img src="url of image">, not a link.  ( I will not follow linked images, sorry)

I don't keep emails after the submissions are done.

Hmm...what if we sent in the wrong picture for submission? Is there a way for us to change it? I sent in a second email telling to disregard the first one...

To clarify a little, that was last month that I sent in the second email.

There is not, sorry.  If I've already added the portrait in the update, or if I've already gotten it cropped, sized and numbered in the current cycle, it counts as the submission.

Could I submit another then?

1 portrait per user per cycle is the max accepted.

If it's only another version of the same portrait already used, then there is no guarantee it will be accepted -- otherwise, go ahead and send it in.

Is there a way to find out if a pic I wanted to use, has been removed? or am I just missing?

It was a picture of Maggie Q from the movie Priest, it was there but I can't seem to find it.

You can ask in Community Chat -- there are a few threads in there asking for help finding pictures or identifying them.

I can tell you that it's been AGES (more than a year or two) since I last removed a picture or moved one.  When I do, there's always a notification put up in the picture's place that hangs around for several months before it eventually gets replaced.

ah okay, I prolly just missed it then, *sigh* thank you!

I did submit a portrait (which I had pre-trimmed to 100x100) which does not appear to have been accepted; is there any way of finding out why (hoping to potentially fix any problems prior to resubmission...)?

In reply to Issek Of The Jug (msg # 187):

The only answer you'll be able to get is:


Might any of those reasons apply?

And I've sent in ones that were not 100x100 because Shannara does a really good job of maintaining the clarity of the pic with whatever Shannara does to them before loading them to the gallery.  If you made it too small it might have been unacceptable for use.  The last one I sent was about over 600x600 and 150 kb but got accepted.

Some other reasons:

1) Not recognizable as particularly anything when cropped to 100x100
2) The 100x100 crop you sent was really something like 75x100, and trying to resize it doesn't work so well.
3) You sent in more than one submission and another one was used
4) You didn't look in all the updated categories -- it might not be where you think it might be
5) You sent it in after I did the last update
6) You sent me a link instead of an attachment
7) You didn't actually attach the submission to your email
8) You didn't put any text in your email, or have emoticons and links and stuff in your signature that got your email caught by the layers of spam filters between RPoL's emails and my inbox, or didn't title your email well.  A lot of factors can cause emails to get 'waylaid' on the way, especially when there are at least 3 layers -- RPoL's spam filters, my internet mail's spam filters, and my inbox's spam filters

If you don't think that any of these reasons, or the ones quoted by Evil Empress, apply, then feel free to send it again.  I'd recommend that you send a larger version and let me do the cropping.  (600X600 or so is pretty reasonable -- no bigger than a desktop background, please)

Be sure to check the alternate gender too... I've had a few male demihuman portraits end up categorized in the female section!

Or, occasionally, the neutral section.

Thank you for the upload Shannara!
