Roger that. I'll sit on my possible submissions until I know yall are caught up and the queue is clear. I've not no interest in piling on work if the system is effectively down. | |||||

So you may make submissions as you like. They will just continue to stack up in the "in box" if you will until we are able to upload them once more. When we get the uploads going again we will let you know. | |||||

Thanks for the heads up and the suggestion of continuing submissions. I'd known something was wrong a while before it showed up in discussion here and went the same route as Shadewolfe: stop and let you all catch up. Nice to hear you feel like you're making progress. Thanks for the hard work!!! This message was last edited by the user at 17:51, Mon 08 Oct 2018. | |||||

Further, not trying to be condescending, but why not make it available for users to simply edit avatars that they want to use themselves? | |||||

As mentioned in the FAQs, there are five reasons why we prefer to have control over the submitted images:
The current technical issues do not invalidate any of those. | |||||

Further if your fear is quality control (ie dick picks or something lewd) that can also be monitored by Moderators, I will agree that the Moderators having full control does make this process even easier, it just makes those that have to wait for the beginning of each month for an avatar of their character in their games a bit annoying. I'm not trying to be argumentative or condescending, simply have a better grasp on why the process is annoying. Thank you for linking that for me, could you answer my first question as well? Do I have to wait for the beginning of next month for my avatars and is there anyway to know when those avatar images are uploaded? Or do I just have to keep checking? Sorry for the questions (I think it might help if you guys just do a massive text post of all of this information and Notice it - for example, "indefinitely no longer taking portrait submissions" is still a notice so I didn't submit my portraits for a long time until I noticed this threaed). And thank you for answering them in advance <3 | |||||

Also, until and unless jase moves the portrait hosting to RPoL or other hosting of his choosing, the portraits are hosted by volunteers -- and I am one of them. If RPoL allowed anyone to upload any picture they wanted to, even with size restrictions, I would cease providing the space and bandwidth immediately, because I don't care to take that risk. I can't speak for the other volunteer who hosts the female/neutral portraits, but she might have concerns of her own. I believe that jase has eventual plans to move the portrait hosting to RPoL's servers ... once he does that, he may make other changes.

I can speak for the other volunteer, and she would definitely not be happy with the idea of random strangers being given the ability to upload images to the space that she pays for (as opposed to the current system, where she knows who is doing it). | |||||

To repeat: The script that adds the portraits to the gallery is currently not functioning. Jase is the only one who can fix it. Until he does, portrait submissions cannot be added to the gallery. We do not have any kind of estimate as to when the issue will be fixed, unfortunately. Until that time, if you want to use a portrait other than the ones in the gallery, you will have to use code (/help/?t=faqs&page=rubbcode) to bring the picture into your post. | |||||

I won't post more on this matter, though I am disappointed to find that I have to wait, again, for two avatar pictures for a game I've been playing in for almost three years now. But such is life. | |||||

Thank you for keeping us updated, even if I only just found this thread (I'm smart, hdurr). Some related questions: where will it be announced or obvious when portraits are going again, and/or if the Gallery Updates thread over at Portrait Posse is defunct, is there a way to tell whether a portrait has been rejected or simply put in an unexpected place? Thank you! | |||||

Having a gallery provides us with control over the quality and content of the portraits, to name just two reasons.
